but on the other hand...

gr_c17 move to a new and much healthy place to live (no more massive black mould creature lurking in the ceiling, among other things). I made a couple of new friends. The bronchitis is almost gone and the PF is much better. My latest order from Sock Dreams arrived, with loads of new warm, fuzzy, good-looking socks! And I'm lying around watching DS9 with warm, snuggly cats nestled all over. :-)
Life is (fairly) good. :-)

Delicious! The latest entry in my log of Thai cooking is a dish of Chiang Mai noodles. Really, there is no greater culinary marvel than noodles combined with a peanut sauce--a thick, rich, creamy peanut sauce.
Tomorrow I start in on a course of South Beach Diet--I've done it before, and I tend to stick more or less to its basic principles when cooking. But when I saw the doc last, he said "If you really want to lose weight, exerciser is good, but how you eat is essential." (Mind you, I swear that last time he said it the other way 'round.) And there's no question that I need to lose 50-60 pounds. Now, it took many years to pack it on, so it will take years to pare it off, and exercise is an important part, but cutting out starch and most fat for a week or two and then gradually adding a little bit back in will certainly help.
But tonight I'm enjoying the last night of unlicensed liberality. Wine, beer, noodles, cocoanut milk--the farthest bounds of dissipation! And, oh, but this peanut sauce is luscious!
