Dreams

Ugh. Too much Doctor Who followed up by Wild Cards (audiobook, sci-fi, mutants, etc. in which I just left the characters pulling themselves out of water which "appeared to be filled with microorganisms")

Just woke up with my skin itching after dreaming about swimming to save something, and getting weird glowing worms attached to me while I was doing it. Worms pulled off fairly easily, but wanted to stay attached. A month later, swimming again, and saw tiny creatures bite/sting/burrow into my skin. The only sign of them was slightly enlarged pores/follicles that sort of looked like the beginnings of blackheads. When squeezed like zits, what came out was a clear lump with what looked like an almost-too-small-too-see eel-like creature inside. 

It was determined that the first time, something had laid eggs, and this second time they'd been fertilized.  It was also determined that exposure to UV light (in the form of sunlight) would kill/get rid of them, so I was just lying down in he sun when I woke up. 

I wanted to scratch my skin off. Ugh!

Cats are cute lazy beasts

Took this the other day:

Blogging

I've sort of been using ravelry and Facebook as blogs of a sort, but I wanted a place where I can just post about whatever, in as much detail as I want. Knitting, dyeing, diet, fitness, weight loss, whatever. 

So I remembered this. And there's an iPhone app, so I might actually use it. 

Today I made cookies. Lemon cake mix, cool whip, eggs. Mix, roll in powdered sugar, bake. Mini cake like cookies. 

I recently discovered that I like avocados. I thought I didn't like them, and had decided that, since they're basically just fat, I'd just avoid them. But they're good fat, and taste good! So I'm going to try to find ways to work them in to my diet by replacing other fats. Like when I made chicken tacos, I used guacamole instead of cheese. 

Um, yeah. Blog stuff. Later.
