The wretched refuse of my teeming mind

Snippets of Jess, in list form:

• Been working out a lot lately. The marathon idea is starting to wiggle around in my brain again... we'll see how the summer shapes up. I'll keep you posted, because I know you're just dying for this to turn into a running blog (ha!).
  
• The floods here are receding. The floodplains are starting to resemble "plains" again, and the trees have their trunks back.
• Apologies to Heto, whom I once roundly mocked for routinely wearing two pairs of socks. I have some seriously cold feet now, for some reason (circulation problem?), and wear two pairs of thick wool socks plus slippers when I am at home. Still I wake up with cold feet (despite socks and two thick comforters!). Is this psychosomatic?
• We sang the Mozart mass today, with professional soloists and orchestra. It rocked. I want to sing more Mozart! However, it looks like I won't make it to choir anymore, due to our intense programming schedule in May and the choir's summer hiatus. This makes me sad. Note to self: find church choir to join next fall!
  
• In the interest of simplicity, I am eschewing the grocery store for a while in favor of using up all of the weird and orphaned remnants in my pantry. I am only buying produce for the next two weeks to complement the Culinary Eccentricity That is My Pantry. Today's entree: split-pea soup with fresh garlic and lemon juice. Yummy.
  
• I've decided that the full moon affects my hormones every bit as much as my menstrual cycle does. Anyone else feel the effects of the full moon?
• 137 days!!!!!! That's how much longer I live here. Expect to see this countdown periodically. :-)
  
• Easter can be found here, sacramental style.
