[spryng]

Lady somehow woke up before me - this is a DITL first!



She administers pills. We might have split a bottle of wine and watched one of the Twilight movies to great confused hilarity the night before.



Once medicated, I can get in a time-check photo.



I have a bad case of bed head, but I don't feel like taking a shower.



Water works too.



Meanwhile, the sharks cats lie in wait.



I gather up my coffee allotment and go read the news... e-... thingy.



Lady brings in Kona to show me the litter dust she has somehow covered her forehead with.



I finally put something on other than a robe. Ready to go running!



Lady, however, is still not feeling very human.



So I grab the new(!) cat toy and make the cats do backflips and other insane acrobatics.






...I did warn you about the cat photos.



Once Kona is worn out, I take Lady for a short walk to help clear her head.









We get back and it's after 8, so I postpone running to go grocery shopping before the rest of the world wakes up.



Grocery list gets written.




Not much this week, since we're still swimming in Thanksgiving leftovers.



I make Lady go lie down while I do the grocery shopping. The haul!



I peanut-butter the bagel I got for her and go wake her up. She's feeling much better!



Put away the groceries, fill the coffee jar.






Starting to flag a bit, so I make myself some tea.



Score of the day: super cheap sausage! Instead of questioning why they're so cheap -



- I just go ahead and cook them.



While they're cooking, I have lunch... or rather, breakfast. Leftover greens & tomato frittata with a sprucing of sriracha sauce. Because everything is better with sriracha sauce.



Then we start making the turkey no-noodle soup.









While Lady helps pick apart turkey meats, I assemble the dough for a gf bread experiment.



It looks promising, but maybe I should have put it in a bread pan...



KALE.



More gratuitous cat photos.



I finally give in and change out of my running clothes into something more appropriate.



Because I'm going out!



... to high tea!...



... with pennywhistle! She took me out for proper high tea as a belated birthday present. <3 It's good and delicious and so much food.



I bring home the leftovers to Lady.




Who has been busy cleaning kale and finishing up my bread. Doesn't look like it rose a second time. Still, it tastes much better than previous attempts, even if the presentation didn't pan out. More like a gluten free flat bread.



Really sleepy from all the food, I make a nest on the floor. Which is immediately invaded by cats.



I give in.



After a short, undocumented nap, I take the rest of my candy corn and some water and re-visit my office.



I unplug the internet and get writing.



Take a break for some hot cocoa.







Back to writing.



Another break, this time for turkey soup.



And I'm still hungry, so I have some honey & gf bread.



Lady has migrated to the table and is transcribing recipe cards.



More writing. Very slow, since I'm trying to tie up all these loose ends.



Take a break to brush teeth.



...and assemble food boxes for tomorrow.



...and feed the sharks cats.






Transfer myself to my netbook and write for a while in bed.



Good night!
