We were invited to the "team builder" get-to-know-the-project's-families BBQ. It was fun, but I had to run nut patrol before anyone started serving the food, because there were nuts out and about...actual nuts, not people slightly off-centre.
It was nice to get together, and there were some people there I hadn't met yet. I was "Jeff's wife" again...and "esposa de Jeff" otra vez. Those are the same, but I missed my Wednesday Spanish lesson, so I have been attempting to makeup for it by purposely thinking in Spanish. I could do more...but I enjoyed the time off too. The language centre in my brain is pretty busy these days.
As for food, the face is all rashy, and I'm crediting _____ . I've almost resigned myself to never minding about foods I used to eat, and just sticking with the ones I know are sure things...almost. I've been able to definitively exclude green tea from my intake...unless there's a powder form that doesn't nauseate me. I won't miss green tea. I still miss coffee. The smell of it got me today--I think I actually moved like a cartoon character does when they're starving, and they catch the scent of food in the air and it pulls them along by the nose...feet off the ground and everything. I was overcome. But...I had none. I'm tough like that now [catch breath, and regain composure].
I've been away from the pool, and substituting the bike sporadically, but enough...because the kids were on and off sick, well, headache, ok for most of the week--so I just skipped the whole lesson scene, and let them recover. I think we're back on for this week though. I need it. I feel like I'm floppifying without it. I think it's excellent for my back too, all that stretching and pulling.
I've pulled a couple of movies into viewing range now, so I think I'll check those out before I call the day quits. If they're any good, I'll post my two cents on them. So far, I've yet to see a movie that I've enjoyed more than Date Night...it's still the last best movie on my list.
Chao!
