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.

It could be cold, chilly, or warm-ish. Pack layers.

By the end of October, I can generally count on velvet-friendly weather and wool-cloak-wearing. There are warm days here and there, but generally no warmer than 60 or so. Most days will be chillier and nights will have frosts now and then.

That's my zip code. red_frog's might be a digit different, but we're within a couple miles of each other. ;) No micromicroclimates here.
