Life, Interrupted

Update: A box for the survey! Please send your results to janine.ray AT gmail.com (just turn that into a real address.)

Austinites -- your opinion on a Gluten Free restaurant or Gluten-Free friendly restaurant! Mention what part of town you live in, and put your results in your reply for LJ. I will forward to the person doing the survey, since they haven't set up a separate box for this. The people doing this have run a successful restaurant in another town, and one just had gastric bypass, so he's very open to getting the best meals with smaller portions and removing foods that are a problem. Several of us encouraged him to consider making the restaurant GF, or very GF friendly.

Why yes, some of my answers were brief, and some I wrote them a novel. Of course!

( Austin Survey )

I was playing cat chess, re-arranging them for the afternoon (Maisie into the utility room for her meat and a nap in her basket, the boys have the freedom of the rest of the house) and of course Merlyn had to play up to SP, who was having a tour of things my sisters ruthlessly micro-managed in their attempts to unpack boxes. Meanwhile, Max headed for the warmest room, my office (even with AC on -- he just avoids the blowers.) And what did he find?

The silky snake I just took off the flowers my sister sent for my birthday. He had the curling ribbon three inches down his throat by the time I caught up to him.

He now looks quite annoyed. He wanted to finish that snake off himself, thank you!

I am going out to Jeffrey's for dinner tonight with W and three good friends. This is one of the few $$$$ in town that deserves its reputation. I called yesterday to see if they could deal with my food issues, and they say they can do it. (Going on Wednesday makes it easier for them, I imagine.)

But first, to the bank to see if my box holds the nonfiction contracts. I'm trying to finish up the copyright lawsuit junk. They want to know what I was originally paid for a nonfiction article 15 years ago. Oh, yeah, right -- divorced, three moves. new bank account and major illness. Like I know that? I can guess on a lot of them -- because reprints were 50% of original, and I found some of it -- but one last look for the papers.
