A smattering of life talk

Life bunches up sometimes, you know?  While there has been a reasonable amount of couch and pajama time over the last couple of weeks, I've also been out a fair bit and have been mostly focusing on getting things done. 

There was one morning last week where I left the house to go to work and got about a half a block before I realized that I wasn't wearing a bra.  So yeah, that's where my head has been at (or not) lately.

Yesterday I got home from work feeling tired and dealing with an all-day headache, and had the energy for exactly the following:  making vegetarian poutine, knitting less than a round on my sock-in-progress, googling some Okanagan bed and breakfasts, and getting under a quilt and watching Bette Davis' first film:  "The Bad Sister" from 1931 (also starring Humphrey Bogart).

Today life is back to normal, and this weekend I'll be puttering around: making Smitten Kitchen's pumpkin cinnamon rolls, cleaning out my kitchen cupboards, and taking stock of all the half-finished projects strewn around my living space.  Maybe I'll go to the UBC apple festival; maybe I won't.

It's going to be coolish and rainy here for the next week.  Time to hunker down.  On a fall note, I've discovered salted caramel mochas at Starbucks - a calorific cup of happy joy! And of course, Thanksgiving (aka the best holiday of the year) was lovely.  The menu:  roasted potatoes, baked cauliflower with cheese sauce, cornbread stuffing with cranberry and orange, lemon-y green beans, and pumpkin cheesecake.  (All from Nigella's Feast.)

These pictures were taken on my birthday, a few weeks ago.  This is part of the Metlakatla nature trail (near Prince Rupert), and while I was only able to go 1 - 2 km down the 10km trail, I definitely want to go back and see all of it - forest-y bliss!
