happy spring!

(I actually just posted this to my class blog and then had a freak out attack as I scrambled to delete it. Whoops.)

I'm sitting here with ice packs tied to my face alfafa-style and eating a mashed up cupcake with a spoon. Wisdom teeth surgery wasn't the big deal that I was expecting. It's possible that I am pushing it a little bit but I don't feel content just laying on the couch / in bed with a book or the tv or whatever. Normally that is my dream come true but suddenly when it is required and not just an option, I want to get up and go.

Pete offered to make the spring cupcakes so we spent the afternoon in the kitchen, him stirring up a bowl of icing and making my taste test it, me sitting with my crossword dreaming of lamb curry. Cupcakes are great, but I need protein, people. I've been eating apple sauce, pudding, yogurt and washing it all down with a few different pain killers. I can't open my mouth more than an inch wide and sudden movements make my face feel like it will explode. Other than that. No really, not that bad.

I feel like I should say something about the first day of spring but there isn't much to say. The few movements that I have been outside it has been raining horizontally at me. The sun is trying to shine though and I can randomly hear birds which makes it feel nice. I don't know. I'm just putting off my celebration of the season until I can enjoy it as it should be enjoyed, with grilled cheese sandwiches and slurpees (through a straw!).

transition

So I tried to start this new blog but I don't like it so I'll transfer that stuff over here. It's a new age of taryntothemax folks, and it is gonna be fun.

spring?

The weather out here has been absolutely crazy. All in one day it’s sun, rain, snow, wind, sun again. I still feel okay about it though. When I look out my window I can see the cherry blossoms just starting to open up and I remember that spring will be here soon enough.

I’m still having a near-anxiety attack every two hours or so about having to get my wisdom teeth out. A new issue has presented itself in the forefront of this anxiety. What about the cupcakes?! Okay. Every spring since I was in Grade 12 I have made cupcakes on the first day of spring. Then I dole them out to my friends and family and the whole batch is gone within about an hour. But the first day of spring is March 20 and, from what I’ve heard, I will be a big hamsterface spending the whole day on the couch eating ice cream and popping pills. This is a serious problem. Is it okay to delay the first day of spring? Should I have the first day of spring early? Should I skip it this year? Postpone it until summer starts?

lazyyy days

This is more or less how today has gone. You can’t see the disaster that consumes this whole apartment in these pictures. Something about being in school and being two people in a small space means that there is always “housework” but it never gets done. Oh well, no complaints. Berries are popping all over the grocery store (although they’re not local so I’m trying my hardest to avoid them, not doing very well on that!) and it’s almost farmer’s market season and I’m working on cutting out added sugars (not doing very well on that either!) and becoming a conscious consumer.. or something. I don’t have it quite figured out yet, what I’m going for. Being healthy, being in tune with my body and what I put in it and how I use it. Lots of things like that. I’ll let you know how that goes.
