I slept in this morning, woke and found the under my eye area more ... problematic. I looked at the dermatologists at the medical foundation and figured it wouldn't hurt to call. I felt wishy washy: emergency, not an emergency.... But, if this got worse over a long holiday weekend, and then next week will be intense, and then i travel... So, i got an appointment. And we meandered over, and the doctor confirmed that i could use the gentle steroid under my eye, and gave me a stronger steroid for my hand, and antibiotics, and a prescription for a mouthwash for my mouth. She rocked, even if she seems to specialize in skin cancer and cosmetic surgery. "Dr. de C--- specializes in skin cancer screening and awareness education, teen and adult acne, cosmetic botox and laser therapy." The botox bit i find creepy.
But, yay. Anyhow, I will be better by the time i travel again. I will, i will, i will.
So, 4 pm: one antibiotic (did i take 2? Was i supposed to?), 2 aspirin, one mouth rinse, strong steroid on hand, gentle steroid around eyes.

it has become my most frequently used cookbook. The first half of the book is a primer on cooking techniques including menu planning, salads, soup, bread, beans, pasta, frying, slow cooking, etc. Each chapter offers succinct helpful advice on food preparation illustrated with a recipe or two and possible variations. The rest of the book is recipes, simple, each with few ingredients, most of which take 15 to 20 minutes to prepare, with variations listed for each. It’s simple enough for a beginning cook and substantial enough for a seasoned cook. It does what few cookbooks I’ve seen do – invites you into the discipline of cooking, providing tips and guidance to dive in, but also a simple frame from which to depart and find one’s own way....

Mapping the Transition from Colony to Nation, the seventeenth Kenneth Nebenzahl, Jr., Lectures in the History of Cartography, will be held at The Newberry Library this coming November 4-6, 2010. The series will feature lectures by eight scholars that examine how peoples and states emerging from colonial status used maps to define, defend, and administer their national territories; to develop their national identities; and to establish their places in the community of nations.Chicago in early November. Could be gorgeous.
