So, I've spent more days than not in the last two weeks in "Host Mode." Basically, trying to be a gracious host, socially mingle, present stuff to groups, and the like. Today was the last of those days for a while.
While I'm not an introvert, and can maybe be a tad overbearing as an extrovert, I do need to "recharge" on my own to recover. I've not had that chance these last two weeks. But now that I'm done, I can rest.
Don't get me wrong, I enjoyed doing it all. But I'm not just out of spoons, I'm out of forks, butterknives and all I have left are the steak knives, chopsticks and soup spoons.
Literally and mentally. 🙂
I couldn't find a bakery in Vancouver that makes milk bread exactly the way I like it -- so I bought a bread cookbook in Japanese, Google Translated my way through it, tweaked the recipe to work with the ingredients I could get here, and started baking bread every other week. Today's beautiful batch.
@samantha - It's great making your own bread ain't it? Here's my attempt at Japanese Milk Bread. Not as light and fluffy as I'd hoped, but very very very good:
@Aminorjourney - I do love my country living. Especially in the safe space we're in.
@pandora_parrot - From what I understand, the worst of Tesla is from Musk himself, or Musk directives. The tech that hasn't had his hands on it is actually pretty good, or so I've heard.
Serious questions for the San Antonians who remember Henry B Gonzales.
What were your impressions of him? What did he do that impressed you, did for you, or (if you didn't agree with him) that at least made you say "Huh. That was a good idea."
Would love to hear from the young who saw his later years, and the older folk who were there at his prime.
And yes, I know he punched a guy out at Earl Abel's. We can leave that one out. ;)
Pictures Before Bed:
Getting some 'me' time. I was kind of getting bored with VR "experiences" when I realized that these environments could literally be total living spaces on their own. So why not just live in a super cute Japanese kawaii train? I mean, I'm already living in a spaceship in Second Life....
I need to find a better movie, though.
Thoughts Before Bed:
Lissa and @Amazonchique are some of the best friends a gal can have. They helped me make some very big decisions today by asking the tough questions and making me really think about those decisions.
Life is about to get a lot more complicated.
Let's get cracking.
After the pride event, I took a quick shower (IT WAS WARM) and headed over to Lissa and Crystals for an after party. And by after party I mean EAT SMOKED MEAT AND COLLAPSE ON THE COUCH.
I was going to treat myself to some ice cream, but my body craved citrus instead. I made sure to give it what it wanted.
