It's literally freezing today. While this is good for the citrus, I'm glad I grabbed my potted palms and stuck them in the garage last night. Citrus fruit benefits from a touch of frost to bring sweetness out in it, so I'm curious to see how Wednesday's gnocchi and Brussels sprouts roasted with Meyer lemon vinaigrette turns out. I'm trying some savory recipes with lemons just to have different things I can make - there are probably three dozen lemons on the tree right now and only so many lemon bars a couple of people can eat. But I'm also looking forward to trying the now-famous dessert from the old recipes reddit, "Justhood's grandma's lemon bars."

I've got a five-miler to run today, and another tomorrow. This weekend's long run is 19 miles and I hope I do better than the previous really long run. Weekend before last I did 18 miles and thought I was going to die. Not literally, but I was completely exhausted and as close to bonking as you get without bonking. It sucked. We're just a bit over one month until the Dopey Challenge though, so gotta get them miles up. Also need to decide what I'm doing for a manicure, LOL. It'll make me run faster. Like chrome on a car.

I actually want to go run, but I don't want to take my clothes off to change into running gear. IT'S COLD.

Just Say 'Yes!'

Those anti-drug "just say no" ads in the 80s led me to believe there were just people going around giving away cocaine and shit. Of course, adults would say "it's to get you hooked on drugs!" Yeah, and coke costs how much an ounce? I can't even afford a dime bag, I'm eight freaking years old. I feel like hot shit when I can buy a Coke AND an ice cream bar.
