What a week

[cosmolinguist]

Work was miserable again -- the thing that no one got back to me about at the end of yesterday ate up my whole morning, and then once that was officially out of my hands, I immediately got a call from my manager, so quickly that I thought it was gonna be some lingering aspect of the huge thing, and he had to start the conversation by announcing "a completely different thing!" Which is fair enough, it was only lunchtime, but I didn't get any time to catch my metaphorical breath never mind rest on my laurels.

But the new thing meant I had to really push myself to read a pdf by this afternoon when I was much too headachy to read it with my eyes or wrangle my screenreader. Luckily the meeting had to be postponed and that meant I could rest a little toward the end of the day.

Which gave me just enough energy to make dinner -- wild rice soup, where almost everything came out of the freezer. I was inspired to do this by the oddest thing; lately we'd been buying Gary cheap frozen chicken to put his meds (ground to powder) in to make sure he ate them every day. And we had some left. So I put it in soup, with wild rice and veggies and cheese and cream, and it was a nice comforting dinner on a rainy day before the next named storm (which should "just" be lots of rain here).
