Hello Again

Did you all miss me? Life is so crazy and I have been miserably sick. I have great hopes for this week though, because I need something concrete to offer workwise.

I have been super tired and miserable. I am unsure if it a combination of allergies and a cold, or if this is just the worst season for mold in a long time. The mold counts have been high for the last 50 days. I think it is just severely depressing my immune system. I have never really taken allergy meds on a regular basis, but I am starting to consider it.

Asian Food

This week's attempt at dim sum went significantly better than last week's attempt. I actually go to eat! I love sticky rice so much. I seriously need to learn to make it, except that knowing what is in it may distress me severely. It was great to spend time with thanos73, cwellan, ruggrat, and mrpet, all of whom I never get to see enough.

Then afterwards, Roger, thanos73, cwellan, and ruggrat hit the Super88 over by BU. I am incredibly jealous at ruggrat's new lunch box, but I just do not need another one. Sesame paste bao are once again mine though, and I am quite pleased. They are very nearly a food group. So our house has all sorts of yummy things. I am particularly intrigued by the dragon fruit, which we have not had a chance to try yet.

Last Week

Last week was sort of uneventful for the most part, as I had been taking it a bit slow. I did mention to get 2 things done in particular though.

I stopped by Tab's school to get some contact information and got grabbed to help out with their school bank. The kids can deposit or withdraw money once a week, and it was the sign up date for the first graders, so they needed some extra help. Kuddos to the PTO people. It was insane. Over $2500 was deposited alone, and all of the numbers had to be checked and double checked before it was over. I can't imagine doing it on a regular basis.

Another highlight was that I dragged myself to Choir rehearsal for the first time in ages. I had forgotten how good I feel after I go. In addition to the normal pieces that we are doing for services, we are working on several pieces from Mozart's Requiem. I love these pieces so much! Between the instrumental and vocal parts, the music is sounded phenomenal.
