kjpepper | Today I...

...woke up mad early (like 6:40 am) due to sundart having to be at work at 9. She was feeling industrious, and whipped up some of her famous whole wheat pancakes. Cue early morning pig out. I had such a bereft childhood, deprived of such things as real maple syrup...
...left early for work for once, due to a distinct lack of bike. Had a lovely walk through campus and downtown. Would have been even lovelier if my Nomad's batteries hadn't died on Seelye lawn, with twenty minute of walk to go. Need to be better about charging that thing.
...Got a shocking amount of work done. Of course that's easy when one of the things you did manage to do with your Nomad in the morning was download the kickass mix you made the night before. Awww yeah.
...revelled in the fact that mysterious back pain seems completely all better. To celebrate, hit the bike trail and did the eight mile thing again before meeting sundart's bus. That trail is going to be fucking gorgeous when all the leaves turn. Which in all likelihood will be in the next couple of weeks, considering the area's under frost advisory tonight. I fully expect to wake up to a riot of color in the morning. You hear that, universe?
...walked home with sundart and discussed some plans to incorperate our true callings back into our lives. Damn it, we're writers. Why the hell aren't we writing?? We're going to fix that.
...sundart's making mashed potatoes, I think. in any case, she's making something that involved me peeling a cubic buttload of potatoes earlier, and now she's boiling them all in a pot. Signs point to mashed.

Whoa, that was an interesting bit of sudden deja vu. I suddenly remembered the last time I was an active participant in a mashed potatoes making type of thing... I was helping mash a huge pot of them in our old kitchen with timarok and I'd asked him to sing something for me, and this gospel number in this shockingly bass voice rolled out of him. I think I was too dumbstruck to actually actively mash anything.

Anyhoo...
...talked to gossamer_gull when she called me at work this afternoon to see if I was amenable to kidnapping tonight. Considering the idea seriously. :)

The rest of the evening seems like it will be a good one, if fairly quiet. :)
