Fish are flowing through my veins

[sovay]

Rosh Hashanah is nearly upon us. I am doing a great deal of niece-care. At present she is eating noodles and cheese and showing off a snap bracelet to my mother and I feel as though I've been yawning for four days straight.

The first batch of honeycakes is cooling. We are now out of flour. We also turned out to be out of almonds, so they have walnuts on top instead. I hope this is not trendy.

The problem with feeling more like myself is that I am afraid it will become comfortable and then it will all be taken away from me again. I'm still pretty pleased with the Improbable Dramatic Readings from this year's Arisia.

I love this poem's last two lines.

I'm delighted you did!

Isn't she marvelous!

That is a very shore-sounding poem. Thanks for linkling to it.

L'shana tovah. I ought to find a gluten-free honeycake recipe. If nothing else, I will likely have a bit of the standard variety at my sister's break fast 10 days hence.

You're welcome!

L'shanah tovah. I cannot imagine that gluten-free honeycake recipes are hard to come by—I know a lot of people for whom they would be relevant. I hope you find a nice one.

Today we baked challah with maple syrup because my honey allergy is increasingly fierce, and I can't wait to try it. Apples with maple syrup is delicious.

I'm glad you're feeling more like yourself.

It sounds lovely. We have honey but different fruits because my niece is allergic to apples.

Apples with maple syrup is delicious.

I bake apples with maple syrup drizzled over them! But I look forward to your report on the challah.

I'm glad you're feeling more like yourself.

Thank you.

I hope you get to keep feeling like yourself!

Thank you!

Aw, I hope you continue to feel like yourself. Besides (as someone who pre-emptively takes things away from myself often under a similar fear) you should be allowed enjoy it all you can while it's there. But I hope it lasts! ♥

how dark down does the water go before the tide—
I the god of starfish fallen, the flounder’s whiter bones.

I cannot imagine you liking these! That is shocking.

/puts flippancy away. It's v good. V you!

That's my style of poem for sure! :o)

It was a badger that sparked my latest!

'The problem with feeling more like myself is that I am afraid it will become comfortable and then it will all be taken away from me again.'

That is a big mood, as the children say. *hugs or equivalent expression of support if wanted* I'm currently having a similar brainthing in my new apartment; my income exceeds my expenses for the first time in my life and I'm not even starving myself or scrimping on necessities, it's very worrisome. Part of me is waiting to be smitten down by an angry god for the hubris of daring to not be absolutely miserable, and wondering if I ought to subject myself to pre-emptive misery in order to be on the safe side. Of course, I was raised Catholic, so it's a much more religious-flavored brainthing, and mine mostly doesn't include chronic pain anymore, but... yeah, I don't know where I was going with this, except trying to express sympathy and recognition, and hope that we both continue to feel more like ourselves and become comfortable there and do not lose it?

Hope you have a good, relaxed holiday. Happy New Year! (Is this an appropriate thing to say? Apologies if not!)

That sounds like a good inspiration.

Thank you! (That is a completely appropriate thing to say and I appreciate it!)

In other news, gambling is going on in here.

Thank you. Likewise.

That is a fantastic poem.

L'shanah tovah, and long may you feel like yourself. *hugs*

L'shanah tovah, and long may you feel like yourself.

Thank you.
