Weekend Round-up & Link Dump
Jan. 21st, 2007 01:41 pmSaturday, Craig spoiled us; we had Indian buffet that turned out to have just what everybody wanted, followed by a walk about Fremont and chocolate overload at Simply Desserts. He's getting me hooked on Twin Peaks, since I never watched it when it was first on. ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
periwinklebliss and passions_sonnet invited us over for dinner and conversation; Ana watched Disney's Robin Hood, and we had yet more feasting. I kept to small amounts of food after gorging on Indian and chocolate earlier. None of it stopped Ana from eating large amounts of pizza, cheese sticks, and cookies. Had a lot of good girl-time, and towards the end of our evening, received some of the lower back/hip massage work I've been desperately needing. There were some tears afterwards, stuff that needed to come up, but I felt a lot better inside my skin.
Today I've oiled our hair and we're both sporting braids while the olive oil does its work. I managed to trim off some of Ana's split ends before the scalp massage, but mine still could use a snipping. After reading in my new massage book about social massage practices of India, I want to make massage a weekly event at home, even if we're just doing a scalp massage or can't do intensive work each week, there should be family touch and comforting. Sunday seems like a good day for it. I still need to do laundry and get some of the rooms cleaned up today; I also have a minimum goal for job searching today, since I'd like to get a jump on it before tomorrow. I'll probably be out of the house during the day, since there's a visit-with-administration time at Ana's school in the morning, and I need to try to get an appointment with my doctor tomorrow as well. La! Despite what Saturn keeps throwing at me, I have to keep going. Part of me wishes I'd gone to search for my notebook with my to-do list myself at Craig's house, but I knew I'd have gotten distracted and not stayed on task this weekend if I had. Muh. I'll have to operate without until it can be found and returned. If nothing else, I can look for it next weekend.
Now for linkage, much of it of no real connection:
From the Christian Science Monitor: How to go to M.I.T. for free (further links about Open Source Classes below*), Whither all the protesters?, and White House Backs Down on War Time Powers?
*OpenCourse: OpenCourse Consortium and Its Subject Selector. This is my new porn. Once I get into it, don't expect to hear from me for a while, much like combining the beta of PornoTube.com with a young frat boy (their hentai selections are too short to capture my interest).
One woman comes out of the jungle and one wants to go back in.
Fibromyalgia is Real (read further details).
