Cold

It's gotten a bit arctic 'round these parts.  Yesterday Gem and I walked around the corner to Kate's for a 12+ Minecraft gathering and we wondered how long it took for frostbite to set in on an exposed face.  (He had a nice time and I enjoyed some tea and chat with homeschooling peeps.)

Flu and colds are bouncing around.  So far, our immune systems are kicking butt.  Magic Ginger tea, wholesome food, enjoying fun and peace...the balance tipped a bit towards rest.

I have just one bit of cooking planned for today...these Garlic Roasted Sweet Potatoes.  I feel a bit cold-y so I have shelved my plans to run errands (library, bookstore for gifts, tea with a friend who, as it turned out, is feeling unwell herself).  I am going to meal plan and make a shopping list for tomorrow.  I will also finalize my birthday party food ideas.

Then, I am going to turn my attention to this pile of books which keeps growing.  I started Speak a couple of days ago so will finish that, first.  Maybe I will spend Sunday with Flight Behavior.

In the meantime, I am also devising a birthday favor playlist...

Peace.
