Stuff and things

[cupcake_goth]

• I made a trial run of artichoke dip on Monday, and it turned out wonderfully. This is a really big deal, because it's Mom's legendary artichoke dip, and not only had I never made it before, but I haven't felt emotionally ready to make it myself after her death six years ago. But I made it, I didn't break down sobbing (got a little teary, tho'), and am going to make a batch to take to Thanksgiving.


• Guess who had horrible insomnia the past few days? Guess who had such bad sleep dep that she took yesterday off AND was asleep by 11:30pm, which is impossibly early in her world? Yeah, that was a thing. Let's hope the Insomnia Fairy doesn't visit again tonight.


• While I am sticking to this very low carb eating plan because it makes a huge difference to my chronic pain issues, I'm not going to lie: the weight loss is a very nice side effect. I now fit back into jackets and dresses that I haven't worn in over 2 years. :: throws the horns ::


• Please cross your fingers and send good wishes for a thing I can't talk about yet. (Related to the dayjob.)

Long time (many years) listener, first time caller, good-wishing you on the Thing. You're fantastic, and I can't imagine the universe not taking that into account. A random post to break the lurking silence on, so I apologize for that if it's weird.

Well done on the artichoke dip. I know that when I started making it, it was Too Soon and I broken down sobbing before it came out of the oven and was just a scent.

The insomnia fairy has been a busy bitchy bee this week.

YAY FOR GOOD WEIGHT LOSS!!

and of course my fingers are cross for you!

Oh wow, *the dip*. I bet you did a great job with it.

Insomnia fairy has been *living* with me. Last week, I got 7 hours of sleep in 6 days. Now, I'm getting more like 4 hours a night. Think my brain's just so happy being here, it doesn't want to miss anything.

Always wishing you the best ~ good luck!!!

What is it about maternal recipes? You bring the artichoke dip; I'll bring the cornbread & pinto beans.

Fingers crossed.
