bodily ills
- not from the consumption of kidneys masquerading as brains though. ah hana, i was feasting at a restaurant on bay street, and being a rather innocent new carnivore, i had naïve thoughts regarding the misnomer "sweetbreads". i pictured tiny toasted breads drizzled with a bit of honey and olive oil, perhaps some fresh black olives to boot, accompanied by flat pasta and pesto. instead i got brain-looking clumps and sweet tomato sauce.
please don't look at me askance, if i'd known the real origin of sweetbreads i would never have ordered the dish - in my new carniverous state, i am finding lines of politics i lacked completely as a self-appointed vegetarian (at the age of seven) who detested the texture of meat. i hate eating anything from baby animals. i will leave it at that, as i can feel my laptop misting over with tears already.

possible sappho hiatus
the beloved toni has come down with The Flu and a Complication: Ear Infection. as such sappho has assumed the role of nurse, a role filled equanimously by the aforementioned toni for many months prior as sappho's immune system tried to prove it did not exist. as such poor toni is taking Almost but not Quite Lethal Amounts of Tylenol™ and Antibiotics (10 Days). i am worried about his fever and hoping it will break in the next day or so. but i might not be able to update, for i am a Nurse and a Fundraiser at the same time, with a grant due this friday.
good things do come from complications
due to being under the weather, toni is watching lots of bbc television shows rented from bay st. video and by the end of the night - when his headache gets worse - i read to him. which means, to my delight, i am finally sharing diana gabaldon's stories with him. we are in chapter 4 of outlander, and i must say i am thoroughly enjoying reading this tale aloud. and toni, of course, is loving the story.

dear tulip, thanks for the feedback. turned out i didn't have to do anything to the code itself - i published a post using the IE browser, and lo! the format and font worked. bizarre, but very gratifying. it looks pretty, no?
love,
sappho
