beansideI am really tired of coughing. It's definitely improved some, but I seem to be stuck on a hump where I don't feel terrible, but I'm tired and I can't quite get rid of the cough. Especially in the morning, I cough my face off, sometimes to the point of gagging. My voice seems to be stuck in this somewhat raspy/squeaky phase that is deeply annoying when I'm on the phone. I'm so glad today is Friday.
Last night, I made the halibut and got some sides from Fogo de Chao for dinner. The halibut was a little overcooked and dry, so I'll have to watch that next time it comes in our seafood box. I think next month is shrimp and Cod, so that'll be good. That, I'm definitely going to beer batter. But that won't come for a couple of weeks.
UPS was SO annoying last night. I don't know why they put a time on the order. "Oh, it's 100^ going to be there between 2-4pm!" It finally arrived around 8:15pm. If they'd tell me that up front, I'd prefer it. But we got Jess' teas, though a chunk of them ended up being rooibos tea, which neither of us is particularly fond of, so we may be passing those off to people. The downside of getting sample packs, I suppose. Hopefully,coyotegestalt and poisontaster like rooibos, because they're probably getting a care package.
The crab feast also arrived, which is awesome. It's probably going to be a Sunday afternoon crab feast, but that'll be okay. As long as I get to stuff my face with some Dungeness, I'm happy.
I've become a hype person for our vacation. The whole reason I got them is because we have a crab feast in Ketchican, and I wanted to make sure everyone liked Dungeness, since only Jess and I had ever had it, I think. I know my sister hadn't, and I'm pretty sure BIL has not. Plus, it's a little piece of Alaska to help get them excited for the trip. Probably not needed as everyone is pretty excited already.
I've been watching videos of our new room at the Pan Pacific. It looks lovely, and the club lounge is very nice. I will probably take advantage of it, for breakfast and maybe afternoon and evening snacks. I also and considering an evening swim while we're there, weather dependent, of course. It's early may, so it might get up as high as 75 or 80, or it may stay stubbornly in the 60's. To be fair, we swam in the 60's in Disney, so it's not necessarily a dealbreaker. They have this gorgeous rooftop pool where you can swim overlooking the city of Vancouver, which sounds amazing.
Tonight, I believe dinner will be steaks and garlicky brussel sprouts. Tomorrow, no clue. We've got chicken and beef aplenty. Probably chicken. Oooh, or cream of crab soup. I do have a couple containers of crabmeat I could use. Blue crab, as opposed to Dungeness. Though if I wait, I could 100& use the left over Dungeness to make soup stock. Hmmm. I will think on this.
One more day of work til the relaxing weekend. We've got our Arvandor game on Saturday, which I'm looking forward to. It should be super fun. The party just started a fight with the evil empire's king, some body guards and a mage. They've already run a gauntlet of Dracoliches, so they are depleted on spell slots and resources, so this should be good.
I got the email that they're almost done with the typeset and art for the last book of the Monsters of 'Murka game that I kickstarted. I'm looking forward to it, though my enthusiasm for a satiric America is slightly dimmed by current circumstances.
I'm so tired of the news. I go on Bluesky and it's just a constant barrage of bad news and stressful news. I'm trying to limit my consumption because it just stresses me out and depresses me. But at the same time, I don't want to miss anything, so I still sneak on. The world is a shitshow, film at 11.
It makes me nervous about vacation--will Canada let us in for our cruise? Will we have problems coming back into the US? Considering our demographics as all cis-passing white folks, we probably won't have any issues, but the intrusive thought is there.
Okay, time for me to consider the merits of putting on pants. I don't really feel like it, but I shall. Leggings and a t-shirt for the win. Everyone have an outstanding Friday!
