I was feeling bleak as a winter puddle today, but I forced myself to walk to work 'cause I've been such a slug lately... When I got here I opened my backpack to put my lunch(left-over burdock root soup) in the fridge and ack! the lid had slipped off the tupperware!

Cussing-I was sure my book and everything else had been soaked-I gingerly lifted out the plastic grocery bag I'd wrapped it in, and goggled at the swollen bag-hastily turning my curses into blessings on whatever merciful deity is in charge of thwarting murphy's law-it had all stayed in the bag!

Phew. I even managed to pour it back in and now I'm havin' dinner... Ah. THe joy of burdock root.

:)

I've been having such a craving for roots with this coldass weather creeping in. Leeks and 'taters, parsnips, carrots, sweet potatoes... Mmmmmm...

Soup-almost makes me look forward to this brrrrchill in the weather.
