Option Three

pedestal sink anyone?

So when confronted with the options of [1] laundry (and you all know how much I love that). [2] cleaning out and rearranging my kitchen (now that's it's cool enough to make cooking appealing again -- just bought some Japanese turnips at the farmers market near me), or [3] hiding from it all and taking a nap on a cool Sunday afternoon, guess which one sounds most appealing?

(looooong pause for a nap)

Actually, I think the need for napping (in addition to the 10 hours of sleep I had last night) is a combination of factors: (a) I'm either fighting off some wicked-nasty fall allergies [though possibly it's the stupid new office building and its new carpeting and construction dust], (b) a fall cold, or (c) I'm avoiding dealing with a whole bunch of emotional crap.

And while re-reading a post from a year ago, wherein I mention both Japanese turnips and my now ex, reminds me of just how many things can happen in a year, it doesn't make me think that I made the wrong call in breaking up with him. Quite the contrary (which doesn't mean I'm not still trying to wipe off the emotional residue, if you'll pardon the double negative).

Re-reading that post also made me realize: holy crap! I finished radiation treatments exactly one year ago this Tuesday, October 19th! I think tonight's belated celebration of my friend Marci's birthday at Kittichai will have to include a celebratory glass of wine to mark that occasion. (I was out of town for her actual birthday, and on Mondays only, they have a hot pot special, so since last Monday was Bloody Bloody Sexypants [also with Marci], tonight will be the foodfest. Hmmm... apparently Mondays nights will be full of droolworthy events, for one reason or another. Heh.)

Regardless of whatever the reason for the desire for lots of sleep, it is long past my bedtime now, and so I am just leaving you all with a photo from my friend Curt's happy place, Flora Grubb [top photo] and two shots from my hour long walk through Central Park yesterday (Saturday), for which my right knee is distinctly displeased with me today (Sunday).

All of these shots were taken with my trusty little LG VX11000 cellphone (a/k/a LG enV Touch) and then touched up on my Maxi-Squirrel (the Dell Vostro 1500 laptop), as opposed to my Mini-Squirrel (the Dell Mini 10 netbook).
