shadowkatAfter a rainy morning, it appears to be clearing - so I may go grocery shopping later - running low on eggs and salad greens, which are my staples. (Note, I only do greens that are high in protein, not the greens that are basically fiber and water. Mainly because my digestive system doesn't appear to like them, and I don't.)
Sinus congestion appears to be getting slightly better, or the vertigo is lessening. I can't seem to convince the doctors that this is congestion related not vestibular related. But the medicine I was provided, which is an antihistamine, is working.
Question a Day Meme: November and December
16. Are you a fan of ‘fast food’? When was the last time you visited a fast food restaurant?
No. The last one was Chipolte, which is not really a fast food franchise.
And has everything fresh, and separate. It's kind of like a make your own salad kind of place?
I can't eat fast food any longer, even Chipolte - I'm tenuous about, although can do it in a pinch, if required.
Last time I ate from an actual one was sometime prior to 2005. And it was most likely a Wendy's.
17. Do you use placemats when you eat at the dining table?
No. Don't own a dining table. I eat on trays - on a coffee table. (Small one bedroom apartment). I own place mats, but rarely use them on the trays.
18. It’s Margaret Atwood’s birthday (born 1939), the award-winning author of The Handmaiden’s Tale. Have you read the book or seen any onscreen adaptations?
I've read Atwood, but not that book. I've tried to read it, and tried to watch the television adaptation - gave up. I've seen the film adaptation and honestly, that's part of the reason I didn't feel the need to watch the television series or read her book. I'm not a fan of the subject matter, and not really a huge fan of the writer. That said, I've read two of her books and a few of her short stories - she can be a bit...strident about her views, and even though I may agree with her - I don't like being hammered over the head with it?
19. It’s US actor Jodie Foster’s birthday – have you seen any of her films?
Yes, most of them. I have a huge crush on Foster. I think I've seen almost all of her films? I did skip a few (every actor does bad films here and there, it's the law of averages).
One of my favorites of hers is "Silence of the Lambs".

19. Jodie Foster, I remember when she was the preteen darling of Disney. Yes, I've seen a number of her theatrical films. My favorite is Contact (she's a smart lady, and a smart lady playing a smart lady is hard to beat.)
