I was awakened by very angry little birds in the tree outside the window. I am sure the female was saying to the male, 'How DARE you ask for your marriage rights when it's this cold! If I have babies they might freeze to death!'

Meanwhile he was saying 'What's a little weather instability? Bit ce uredu!'

She fled him and he followed.

I am tired because the weather isn't helpful to me. I slept well enough, but the pain medication I'm on isn't strong enough for how bad I feel today. I probably have less than appropriate blood levels because yesterday I had to have a fasting blood draw to find out what my cholesterol levels are. Probably that's not so bad, because I am not heinously overweight and my diet isn't too awful. Still one never knows. I used to know a woman of massive proportions who went on a diet. She literally turned herself from Big Blob to Blond Bombshell in a matter of several months. The funny thing was her cholesterol levels went WAY up once she lost the weight. Our working theory was that it was in the stored fat in her body, and once loose it got in her blood. Probably this is a medically and scientifically unprovable idea. Still she really was better than average when she was overweight, and once she got to her target weight, she had a problem. Very odd.

Anyway, my housemate is saving large food quality bottles, I think she's planning to put up some mead. I taught her how to make the stuff some years back and even if it is a form of alchol, it's one of the healthier sorts.

I am reading a really interesting book, called 'The Modern Decadants' I don't know that I agree with everything the guy has to say, but it's provacative reading.

Just finished 'Reading Lolita in Tehran'. That was fascinating! I highly recommend that book in fact.
