Got my NT2 Beginners II level certificate in the mail. Aww. and a lovely little note from Lisanne the instructor.Awww.

And a couple of whomper bills. Sigh. Once i pay off Sears, I'm done ever using that card.

R leaves for the airport in 5 hours, so he's finally shuffled off for a nap.

I've had recurring nightmares this week of either having twins that were so small and cold they didn't seem like they'd live, or someone stealing my baby, or being given one and not wanting to hand it back. its just a nice cruelty on my brain's part and if it keeps it up, it'll meet Mr Vodka and Mr Whatever's left in the kitchen.

I cried for three days, I do, when someone blurbles "yay pregnant!" and I cry ALL over at the milestones i'll never see, and the whole birth thing. It feels like a big ol thing that I'm pointedly not invited to. Ah, swell. But I'm told its because "i just have to want it bad enough."

Anyway, onward.

Made a batch of icecream today that didn't work. Yield was supposed to be 1 qt, got barely a pint. used 2% instead of whole milk, and maybe I misread the recipe? I have no idea. It tastes...ok, but seriously. yargg. I fully understand when someone on masterchef has an off day. Sometimes things just go ALL wrong.

At least it's a tasty error.

so the week R's off in the blast furnace of Vegas, ( as much as it'd be fun to travel again, I stop and think oh, right, Vegas, in summer, where i'm a smear on the pavement and the pool is quite possibly the most unpleasant shithole to be in, and no, I don't want to be there.) Get the house clean, dog is shedding like a fucking DEMON hound, and get the novel to the 2/3 mark, which is around 113 pages. in 7 days. I'm not sure it's possible but I should be able to get a dent in it.

Gotta do a ring order tomorrow, and I'm going to start making some serious gym time. Yep.

Will probably noodle round the ROM and AGO while R's off. Its been a whole month since I've been in a museum! OH NOES.

I ache to return to Amsterdam, I think i left part of my heart there.
