Are you too spicy?
Today was possibly the least worst day of the weekend. It was still very low energy, low key for me.
Got to chat with Desmond some today... that was probably the highlight.
I'm not liking the new brunch. They promised a "non-egg savory option" (since breakfasts were previously scrambled eggs, every dang morning), so today was french toast and vegan french toast. Great. I hate french toast. But even more, I hate vegan versions of non-vegan fare.
In Rochester there's a fantastic vegetarian restaurant, The Atomic Eggplant, and one of the things I love most about it is that the food is unashamedly vegetarian. Excepting the required veggie burger, there's no "fake meat". The menu is mostly about food that's good on its own terms, without having to pretend to be something it's not. And, you can get brown rice there :-)
Anyway, I guess it was an off day for my meals today in general. Tonight was a sushi night... I've grown mostly bored with them. I don't get a real satisfaction from eating sushi it seems. Some suhi nites they go all out and offer other dishes with it, like tempura. There was a small bowl of the sushi rice on the Simple Table, but not really enough to go around.
For balance, you should know that most people loved dinner. I've never seen so many people jump up when the seconds bell was rung. Maybe I'm turning into Paul.
After lunch I gave a lymphatic session. It went well, longer than the first, which shows I was able to be more patient with it.
Other than mixing up a new bottle of 3% H2O2 and getting quarters for laundry (which I didn't actually do today), the time between then and dinner got sucked into a black hole.
After dinner, I was able to rope Steve into trading sessions with me. We dispensed with the full body lymphatics and gave integrated sessions. I received facial lymphatic, joint mobilizations, compression, and some nice foot work.
And after that, I stayed up way too late in the Lodge, first reading my Gay Hendricks book, and then spending time with Pam and Jim. Pam was baking cakes for tomorrow's breakfast, and we got to sample it. Vegan-arrific spice cake. I got the recipe.
