What Saturday hath wrought

[sienamystic]

Two rectangles of pate brisse chiling in the fridge for another bacon-mushroom tart and my first attempt at a Nutella one. The sweet one is for tomorrow, when Bemo and I will schlep over to a co-worker's house to eat chili, carve pumpkins, and toast the seeds for later eating.

Unfortunately, cooking seems to be a definite stress-reaction for me. I shouldn't have spent all the money I did at the grocery. It's going to be another tight month.

Enjoying the slightly warmer weather, since the past two days have been really chilly. The windows are open again and the cats are basking in window sunbeams.

Am contemplating going out and seeing if I can jog. Unsure as to whether this is a good idea or a quick trip to shin splints and large amounts of pain and/or humiliation.

Am contemplating putting up some of the genuinely 19th-century envelopes I own up on Etsy. If I do, how much should I charge for them? Should I sell them individually, or in sets or two or more? I'm thinking people would buy them for crafting purposes, obviously. The paper is quite nice and people like the copperplate handwriting. Plus, some of them are charmingly soot-stained.

Re: jogging. Start slow, with time or distance intervals. I found that the Couch to 5K program really motivated me. And shin splints - ice your shins if they hurt after running, but if they hurt too much, you should probably take time off.

But I'm not expert, so grains of salt all around. :)

I've been trying to work up slowly on the treadmill, and have gotten to the point where I can actually jog...not shuffle along quickly, but actually sort of run...for all of about a minute!

I've heard good things about the couch to 5k thing, will go check it out.
