h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

William's not very well.... was coughing spluttering, looking like a cold... and he was on his way here... had some kinda reaction to the sunlight, he thinks... then threw up a bit... and... given my possibly non-existant immune system.... damnit.... - this may be a test of my indestructibility.... shall just try be extra cautious and, not get too close to him I so don't need an infection and hospitalisation right now

off to surgery to put in repeat prescription, then into town, so I can get some food essentials in but... can't even give him a hug really.... damnit....

in otter news. I kinda slept last night. and that feels a bit better.... somewhat more energy today; of course, being day 7 since last chemo, I'm just entering the worse phase for my immune system, which... is even more a given W might have an infection, that I really can't afford to let into my system; I'm wearing extra chainmail.... for added protection

the new cafetiere is brill as is.... one of the gifts taht I'm now wearing.... damnit... this me being ill thing so has to stop soon.... its... disrutption to my nonnomral duties and .... things damnit.

need to find a bath-bomb box... to hold my bath bombs in seriously.... and I still need a hammmock for my menegerie of pets/teddys/plush soft toys - was a real struggle trying to get myself into bed last night... so little room amongst them all - I may buy more

Might be easier to find a hammock for yourself and let the teddys keep the bed

Sorry to hear William is sick and that you have to stay clear of him for a while

OO... now there's an idea... I fear... I'd really struggle in a hammock though!

well, hopefully I've not caught anything fofm W... he's gone off home now... I just feel... kinda nnoyed I can't be there, wehn I should, like this, to care and look after him... damnit... - I'm not 100% sure, but I think he's got a cold, and, beyond that, I think his being sick thing earlier, might have been more just the build up of worry, about me... so my damn fault too... he's having to do a lot, organising me, and hospital stuff, and prescriptions, and my getting shopping done, and ... stuff, before any of the more... emotional support I've needed, and ... its not fair on him... and I can't even help much

No need to beat yourself up about that. You've got enough on your plate as it is

“You, yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe, deserve your love and affection.” [Buddha]

Oh.. thanks ; I don't know aobut 'deserve'.... but I'm certianly getting plenty I'm so lucky. I couldn't ask for more...

time to think about making something for dinner now, I guess..... I've some leftover pasta from yesterday, to form into a asalad, probably with quiche tonight, I think... and... I've such a luxuerious bath planned for later.... with an insane amoutn of expensive posh handmade stuff in it - real girls arn't as girly as this

I decided I deserved mashed potatoes tonight. I had some leftover casserole with veal. Very suitable for a winter's evening so it was high time I got that out of the way before spring sets in. So I added a lot of assorted vegetables and herbes - and behold: It was good

sounds good!

My dinner was very good also.

fusilli pasta, cold (the lefover), mixed in some lettuce and cucumber, a drop of mayo, and some fresh ground black pepper; then grated Norweigion jarsberg on it oh! Oh my BoB! the jarlsberg... wtih the fusilli... the mix of the texture of the fisilli, with the jarlsberg nuttyness... and the pepper just cutting in, and then the freshness, wetness and coldness of the salad bits almost... as ... good.... as.... if ... not... better... than.... a ... rea.....really... hrea... flogging... just...

Thanks to cancer, and having quit smoking; I appear to have a new-found extra set of senses in my mouth... taste I guess, though smell is probably involved; and, this despite all the stuff I read, on how the chemo drugs I'm on, aare ment to mess up taste and stuff just... so tasty
and then, the hot quiche with it too

quite sutuffed stuffed after - then reemembered I'd forgoten my meds again so took some steroids as one does (for the Addison's apprently not the lymphoma) ; well, it was sort* of two hours late; but as I'm getting up a bit late, last few days, but still goign to bed late, I've kinda wiggled my med times about a bit... mainly based on when I remember to take them

so... washed up... cleaned kitchen... steralised kitchen.... then went and cleaned the bathroom, and gave the bath and tiles by it an extra shineyness - all ready, for .... lots and lots an lots of very hot water (I've gotta be so careful not to actually burn myself; my hands arn't picking up hot properly!), then.... a hand made... Lush bath bomb.... - gona see if I can find the one with glitter in it

and, the gorgeous Lush handmade bath melt too (the one with oatlmal and stuff in; smells so gorgeous, leaves my skin so* soft)...
then... I shall soak.... and soak... an dhopefully soak out some of the pain in my nuscles and joints as I do so

then... the smoothy drink for supper (kinda tempted by a beer... but... someone... somwhere keeps telling me not to drink beer... and... then... if I do... I seem to be getting in trubble... ) the smoothy will be the better optotion; could really do with more vits and minnerals I reckon and fiber and stuff... mind... the night... is ... young no... I must* behave and be obedient

just having a bit of a rest, sit down, catch up on email and stuff, before running the bath just need to select the bomb for tonight, and then I've got everything to hand

Apparently, one of the trends for April Fools Day this year were surprise desserts, specifically camoflaging meatloaf with mash potatoes for icing. I saw some cupcakes and a two layer cake with cherry tomato "cherries on top."


I think I'd like that better than an actual dessert.

Oh, look! I found a recipe with pictures.

Better smoothies than beer

yes... quite right. about to have.... the smoothy now after such a relaxing amazing bath..... used an entire bath bomb, and a bath melt.... and it was teh double sized really expensive bath bomb... with glitter and... then coconut shampoo etc., for my hair yeh... i know... like its worth actually spending any money on keeping my hair nice right now but... actually what's left does feel so gorgously soft after that and aI'm all scented with all the bath bomness of it all and the gorgeous smoothness and softness and scents of the melt and... wearing... the new... item... of... clothing... I recieved in teh post so... so... me...

damn I'm feeling good tonight... just... wish... lmaybe I wasn't alone to share in a rare moment of energy and zen-relaxation combined I think my brains suddenly getting so much better teh last few days ahh.... just thought... that might even be the folic acid kicking in I've.... er.... about six or seven days worth of it now I think

amusing moment earlier... I failed to mention...;;

set the girl behidn teh counter in teh bank, who we know off in a fit of igglgles as I took the P out of myself at no longer having a cahnce in hell of doing my own signature due to the loss of sensation in my fingers and... then I explained how although I can legit blame chemo for that... how I'm using chemo as an excuss for nearly everything.... and ... mentioned a couple of examples so gona have to buy me more lingerie soon... and not c chainmail... for once right... to the smoothy.

This bar has too many overly hopped beers. I blame 2legs' chemo.

exactly..... I am... mainly blaming it for my odd.... and veratious appertite at the moment... err... for food I mean... well... and... other things too and... of course... well... just blaming it for everything blush> including... some of the random... stuff Ive bought recently and... for my needing to buy so many lush bath bombs an... etc., etc.,

still so relaxed... actualy gone quiet outside... and... feeling kinda fatigued, at the same time... but... not at all sleepy. damnit.... surely, my hydrocortisone is like zero, took that so many hours ago... oughta be sleepy... but... damn brain.... Not convinced even worth trying sleep yet... but guess I oughta.... may try soon I guess, or Ill be up so late again... then the whole day gets shifted incorrectly and stuff never happens when it should.... like the time I took the tool box to the seaside.... was years before it was free of the icecream memories, and th eseagulls never quite recovered either; all their green-blue chakras were so askew.... its difficult not to feel sympathy for them, given the circumstances, een if one can never quite forgive them, for th eincident with the adjustible spanner.... I mean... really... orange.... on a spaner... just... so wrong. that nearly took an entire week to explain away to the chief cowboy at the karioki.... mind, not that he was exactly an authority on matters concerning window manfacutring, let alone, window fitting... certainly not a mistake one wishes to make when in a hurry for a late-night date with Madona... actually I wonder what happened to her... she never appeared again once the antlers fell off... quite odd for an average friday or Saturday night... brain. stop.... hmm.... bed.... or... find something vaguely.... silly to go read or something....

Re: Baron Grim's posts 8 & 9, perhaps also a desert borscht, red cabbage, red beets, both cut to taste, steamed till tender in a minimum of water, sufficient sour cream to make a creamy sauce, topped with another scoop of sour cream and a sprinkling of sliced almonds?

I slept! and... damnit... then woke up so* late.... didn't get out of bed until like 11! damnit.... and now the day's all out of kilter again.... nearly 2 PM and I've not even made it to brunch/lunch yet.... and I've stuff to do; tidy/clean bedroom, and rearrange stuff, then.......... some 'NSFW' 'fun' planned for later, should my energy still be 'up' and, then gotta do some research stuff, online, and hopefully find time to actually try a bit of light reading - sure my concentrations improved, but I won't really know for certian less its actually put to some kinda test - gona have to play bout with my steroid times again... my days keep shifting time-wise all over the place, so taking the steroids at fixed times, basied on some randomn notion of the morning doze being 7 AM, and people going to bed like before midnight, is so kinda stupid for me that might help balance out.... at least one small bit of my bloods biochemistry hopefully trying to balance food out a bit more too, mgiht contribute to that only... already... its gona be a super late brunch/breakfast/lunch right... must go get food
