My last few moments as a free woman. Today I didn't go see the black sheep and alpaca, which was my original plan for the day, but I did spend some quality time in the kitchen, which is always fun to do on those 98 degree days. I wanted to make bread one last time before I no longer had 5 hours of uninterrupted baking time, so I very lazily made some challah.
That and a couple of phone calls pretty much made up the day. Connecting with Colin and Josie made the day worthwhile, so it didn't really matter what else I did.
A few notes: so far I've gone swimming twice in snowmelt water up in the rivers around here. I feel very proud of myself for getting out to the rivers, and even prouder for going in. It's not like Florida, I'll tell you that!
I didn't get to listen to the lectures, but a) I'm about to go into high-gear lecture listening mode, and b) I did get to watch the Green Butchers last night. Green Butchers was really fun; stomach turning, visually playful, and stocked with an acute sense of weirdness. I especially liked the ending, which seems like the perfect Hollywood ending gone absolutely stupidly out of whack. I would highly recommend it if you, like me, enjoy strange Scandanavian films.
Oh, and I wanted to say, thanks to everyone who has commented as yet. I'm not sure if I'm supposed to/want to comment back, but I guess I'll know eventually. Chef Yang disappeared because I thought he was spam - he was too witty for me. So, dear readers, keep up the good work and perhaps someday I'll get bold enough to engage in a dialoge, rather than just my current pleasant noncommittal yammerings.
Well, I'm off to bed to fitfully toss and turn in anticipation for my big day tomorrow. Wish me luck!
