I feel like crud after tai chi. I felt fine before going, but as soon as I was lifting my hands over my head, my head started to ache. As soon as we started to bend over for things, I started to get really dizzy. So, of course, today was a day with lots of position work where you have to hold the indicated posture while the instructor comes around to check your hand/body placement.
Bleah.
But today hasn't been that bad. I had an excellent breakfast (leftover stuffed salad with extra lettuce) and some of the best coffee I make. Then I decided I'd watch TV and yesterday's crisis resolved itself (someone called to fix it for me.)
I had the rest of the salad and the rest of the coffee for lunch. One of my friends was online and sent me a picture of herself and I teased her lightly for sending me naughty pictures... it's hot where she is and she's wearing something sleeveless. Goodness knows Victorian men's heads would have exploded if they saw bare shoulders since a bare ankle gave them all wood. So sleeveless with cleavage probably is enough to even give other women boners. And yes, I was entertained by this entire conversation, most of which I didn't share until now. I'm an excellent conversational partner. I'm like my own twin and we finish each other's sentences, so you don't notice most of the time.
I finished the new "level pack" of Cursed Treasure. well, mostly. one of the achievements is to get all the upgrades. But I got half the upgrade points (60 of 120) when I'd finished the last level and got every other achievement. Obviously the rest of the upgrades are pointless.
I'm still (STILL!) playing Gemcraft Labyrinth. I like it the best of all three so far. I mean the first one had the best "game" feel but the controls were kludgy and there were a lot of things that required too much mousing... the controls were better with Zero but the gameplay had way too much grinding... either you replayed the same level over and over or everything was too hard and you lost repeatedly. This has the better controls and minimized mousing (it's still a TD game so it's not all keyboard) but you can pretty much play a new level without losing and you don't absolutely have to replay previous levels to get upgrades.
Last night we had pork chops with mashed potatoes and gravy. Best instance I've ever made. Considering that Simon had said he really wanted pork chops (of the 3 options I offered) but refused to help in the kitchen, the fact that I successfully did this is amazing. I put the cooked potatoes in the mixer. Much easier on me and less messy and the potatoes were mashed better... plus I was able to work on the gravy at the same time which isn't possible when manually mashing. Best instance of pork chops too... I buy boneless pork chops which I trim of that nasty fat rim before freezing. Then I thaw them in warm seasoned milk and coat with seasoned flour. Basically I make country-fried pork steak.
Tomorrow I'm going out for lunch. I'm determined. If I feel really great, I'm going to the fancy Asian fusion place the coffee woman likes. If not, I may go for nearby Thai food because mangos usually cheer me up.
