Switching friends lists

As per a suggestion by jinzi, I've switched friends lists for a day with hillarygayle. Only public posts are accessible. I know you guys are so interesting that she's likely to come on board and never leave again. :)

Monday stuff

The house smells yummy tonight. My sister-in-law gave me a little tin of Herbes de Provence that she got as a Christmas gift from a patient, thinking I'd like it. I do. It gives just enough flavour to veggies, and it's going to be great with steak, mushroom and red pepper tomorrow. Also, it leaves the house smelling yummy. I think it's the lavendar. I would never have thought of using that in cooking, but wow - it's so nice! I've got the best-of-the-linen-closet scents happening in my kitchen.

I worked out just now for the first time in two weeks. I'm feeling stretched just to the edge of my comfort zone - not beyond it, which I was a bit afraid of. Two weeks is a long time. Still, thanks to that lovely Norwalk virus, I'm actually two pounds lighter than I was before Christmas. Fancy that. Now if I can get back some of the muscle tone that's been abandoning me since I stopped my thrice-weekly workouts, all will be well.

The response to my PoAC was huge - I think we're now at forty comments. Pretty much all of them are of the liberal variety, several even more liberal than myself. I was kind of hoping for some real disagreement, but I suppose in that environment it would be hard to do.

I think I'm going to actually try to write a little bit. I should try to mark a little bit, but those math journals have waited this long - they can wait a bit longer. With my lessons nicely planned for the week, right down to typed notes for my grade 5 social studies (the characteristics of Mesopotamian herding/farmer communities versus city states) I will have more time to mark this week than usual.

Right, then. Better get to it.

Oh, and welcome, hillarygayle!

"Swapping" implies giving back, right?

Well, I'm keeping at least two of the friends from this swap, provided that's okay with hillarygayle and kittyjammies. There may be more, but this is a start.

I discovered on perusal of info pages that we have several friends in common, which is interesting considering I got both of them through a friend of a friend. jinzi is not on either friends list. Weird. The world is sometimes smaller than we imagine.

I'm going to bed now. The endorphins from the workout have left me nicely fatigued, and my day starts in about eight hours. Good night!
