[livejournal.com profile] taselby was here for 5 days, escaping the hideous heat and generally hanging out. We enjoyed that a great deal. I don't know why I even bother hesitating when she wants to drag me off to a movie...I always seem to enjoy them, even if I had no plans to watch them at all. Transformers, Iron Man, The Hulk...all fine "Saturday afternoon at the movies" fare. Thanks, Tiff.

I have lost over 25 lbs and had the odd experience of my shorts falling off because I had not tightened the drawstring enough. Thank goodness it was at home!

We went to a local fish store yesterday evening and bought a tuna steak. When I asked the nice man behind the counter if he would sell me a few fish heads to make fish stock, he handed me a bag with a humongous fish head and skeleton inside it (5 lbs worth) and told me to have a nice day. So we made gallons of fish stock last night and I found it made a perfectly lovely dinner with a little of the poached fish bits that were still left on the bones ( no more than a pound or so...). It's nice to eat real protein sources again.

I have been reading "Deep Survival", which Tiff brought. It's a fascinating exploration of various accidents and the neurological, mental and emotional elements that seem to contribute to survival (or not). I can recommend it!
