RTBTCKI The Very Yucky Weather Edition

[puppetmaker]

It's turn into a full blown cold and I feel like my head is going to explode. The Neti pot is helping in the short term but right now my mucus membranes are in overdrive.

The weather outside is frightful. No snow (darn it) or ice (thank goodness) but rather that cold wet bone chilling rain with no end in sight.

I am making bean bags today for a carnival that will be at Caroline's school in a couple of weeks. I found a great monkey patterned cloth to cover the basic bag in. I just need to find a round rosin bag to make the pattern off of.

My speaking up yesterday on a board had some interesting results but the one individual that I really hoped would take a hint only took half a hint away from the conversation. I did like that some people chimed in with their opinions of the subject at hand with nice rational discussion even if they didn't like the policies as presented. And a couple of people decided to give it a go even though they had not gotten in last time they tried.

I have to thank Mercedes Lackey because her last book gave me the solution to getting some crud off a pot that had burned on there. I put it on the stove and put some water onto boil to loosen the crud. Now I have a shiny pot again (well as shiny as Teflon gets). Over all the book was pretty good but it felt very loose at the beginning and very rushed at the end. I have a feeling that this is the first of a trilogy.

I also read the newest Ender book. Once he is done, every hole in that story is going to be plug and told from everyone's point of view. I want to go back and read Speaker for the Dead again since I read it before I read Ender's Game and this current book is the one that happens before Speaker.

So two books read so far this year and fifty to go.

I am grateful for good reads.

how often do you neti? I lost the top to mine - I have to get a new one. If i use it regulary, i never have face pain. I really need a new one.

Right now twice a day.

Usually every couple of days just to head off things that might be festering in my head.

I was skeptical about the whole idea but I have become a convert.

Yea, what you said. I was skeptical, too. I was going to say 2x a day might be good now.

I am contemplatng going yeast free (yet again - and probably wont)

I loved the new Lackey book... aside from the part where they mention Vanyel as having come pre-Collegium. Then again... maybe it's my memory. :digs for Magic trilogy:

I've just begun reading Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series, it looks good!

I thought the latest Ender book filled holes that didn't need to be filled. It was okay, but I'd only recommend it to Ender completists.

The Lackey, on the other hand, was quite enjoyable. Except I'm still waiting for a book about the founding of Valdemar, and thought this would be it from the title.
