It has been a week, hasn't it?

I was under the weather Sunday and Monday, and we're trying to plan a trip in June but the destinations keep going off the rails to the point where I think we are going to wing everything. If you know anything about me, you know THAT is crazy for me. And that's all I seem to have right now. Knitting and travel plans. What are you all up to?

Passing the torch to Agdhani

I actually got a chunk of sleep so it appears that the antibiotics and steroids may have kicked the butt of this cough, or at least mitigated the effects slightly. I wrote 3000 words yesterday on an ongoing fic, so today was writing a few product reviews for high protein foods that I have been trying as well as a blog post.

I have an ARC that I started today and my plan is to try to finish reading it today and post a review tomorrow. My medicinal cannabis order turned up today so I will need to clean out my grinders in preparation! I'm quietly pleased with how the day has turned out and sending positive vibes to agdhani for tomorrow!
