Yes, so...

I had to abandon computerchix and aliciar to the merciless used bookstores downtown. Why would I be so cruel and callous?

My period started. The first day is one I generally spend on the couch, moving only to fetch more donq quai tea and naproxen. I get woozy, dizzy, have hot flashes, and generally more unpleasant things. I don't mind bleeding--really. Having my period is an affirmation that my body is doing what it's supposed to do. Now, if my body would just not overreact, we'd all be happier.

I don't think they mind too much, being left to wile away some time with mountains of dusty tomes.

Lunch was lovely. I was still blood-free and cramp-free at that point. We met red_frog and explodingcat at Bashir's for yummy food. They all had sandwiches. I had the vegetarian sampler platter (hummus, salads of sorts, falafel, bread). It's so rare that I can actually *eat* falafel, because it's usually fried in soy oil. Bashir has sworn to never use soybean oil. It's so good and fresh and mmmmm...

I'm home, in any case. My tea will be done soon. It's a lovely fall day. Virginia is so beautiful this time of year.

I have a meeting with a personal trainer in an hour or so at ACAC. It's a freebie with my trial membership. I'm not going to do any exercises today, no matter what she says. To do so would invite vomiting and passing out.

So... due to a miscommunication, I had no meeting today. I was told to go to the Albemarle Square location, while she was at the Downtown gym. *sigh*

I don't have much faith in trainers, anyhow. I'm not planning on doing anything but swimming for awhile as it is. And I really don't like discussing something as personal as *exercise* with a total stranger. That's just creepy.

Anyhow, I turned to LJ to cheer me up after driving for 45 minutes (afternoon traffic + plus waiting with another trainer as he scoured the schedule for my name) on the day of doom through construction and other sundries. simonvervain didn't let me down...

red_frog, you are not the only person who dances with her cats...

I thought I'd give you that little thought, just in case you weren't aware that there are other crazy cat-dancing people out there.

I decided to escape the couch, so I dropped boy off at qi gong, then headed to Coyote to see xiane. nothingoth was also there! Woo-hoo!

I indulged in retail therapy and bought another lunchbox. This one is smaller. I like it.

I also bought boy some pocket monsters. I give him some every year. They keep his coat pockets populated with love and joy... and fear.
