somewhere in this stratosphere.

Sigh. I have been in the kitchen literally staring at the recipe for the risotto, completely baffled. It seems the chef has left out key parts, and is not well versed in English (that was apparent when he kept saying "uhhh how you call it?" at the lesson). Hmm...The Vegetable Bayaldi I can manage. Lets see bout the risotto. haha. I am also making olive tapenade. I am so excited. It's an olive, olive oil, garlic spread that you put on friend french bread. yummmm.

Vin is golfing. I am deciding whether to go to the store now to get my last minute things, or wait and have him go when he gets home. Altho I want the olive tapenade to be already prepared. And I want to turn the artichokes and prepare the rest of the veggies before Jami and Thane get here. I am still not even dressed tho, and have no energy.

My arthritis has been driving me nuts. At some point I should go to a doctor. It's getting pretty bad in my hands and wrists.

My throat hurts, as well. My right tonsil is always 3x bigger than it should be. sigh. I am a massive walking health issue. lol.

my head hurts, as well. sigh.

I am exhausted. blah.

and we must not forget about my eye, which is still swollen and painful from a sty.

ok. enough complaining. time to go to price chopper.

au revoir.
