May. 16th, 2023 10:05 pmYesterday was meditation and lunch with Dragonfly day. We ate on the outdoor patio of a taco place. I ordered nachos and then she ordered nachos too, having been unleashed by my decision. They were really good nachos. Being a vegan, she special-ordered hers and had chili-lime tofu on them. She offered me a bite, and it was quite tasty, although I preferred my own meatatarian version. I took half of them home in a box for the Sparrowhawk, but my stomach was still unhappy with me. My mouth is always writing checks my gut can't cash.
I have developed a nasty cold sore on my lip. I used to get these, but haven't had one in years. However, the virus lurks in your nerve endings and pops out unexpectedly. This was super annoying, because we had an appointment in the afternoon to have our pictures taken for the church directory. Just what I need for my photo! Hello, my name is ismo and I'm a leper . . . . We waited for a long time in the church basement in our fancy clothes, because a really large family had come in ahead of us--late--and wanted individual poses for ALL of them from Grandpa down to the toddler. Eventually we had a whirlwind blitz of posing at the skilled direction of a lady in voluminous tie-dye who was losing her voice from doing this all day and referred to us as "Lovely" and "Handsome." She did take some nice pictures of us, somewhat to my surprise. I had not been sure that was possible. We get a free 8x10, and we also ordered some copies for the kids. This was expensive, and I felt a little bit as if I were falling prey to a scam, but we had our reasons. I figure this is probably our peak of photogeneity--it's not going to get any better!--and I thought that someday the kids might enjoy having a nice shot of Mom and Dad before the apocalypse set in. And the Sparrowhawk charmingly said that he'd pay the entire price to get a copy of my picture. I bought the solo version of me so I could use it for a jacket shot, when required. And we ordered the retouching feature so they could remove all traces of my blemish from my lip. Hopefully they won't take TOO many wrinkles out and make me look like a news anchor in HD. Haha . . . on second thought, let's hope they will. That would be fun to see.
Unfortunately, I have been feeling like crap for the past few days. I don't know why. Yesterday, all I really wanted to do was go back to bed. Pretty much the same today, but instead I talked to Queenie (deferred from yesterday), and then made a very quick trip to the grocery store. I was cautiously pleased with myself for having called in yesterday and canceled my dentist appointment scheduled for today. I figured that my lip was a) possibly infectious, and b) would be painful for dental work. I was happy to be out in the back yard drinking tea instead. The Sparrowhawk made me some stir fry and rice for dinner, because my stomach has been killing me, and that is usually something I can eat. I fell asleep on the couch immediately afterwards, a thing I almost never do. I also almost never sleep through the night, but perhaps I will. One may hope.
