The rain kindly held off until well after I got home from physio, which was nice (I took my rain cape just in case, which is doubtless why it did so) but now is bucketing down and will probably keep on doing it until Friday. So no, not putting any garbage out tonight. Besides I should pack up those used furnace filters in the basement, which require a large type of garbage bag, and I don't feel like it. Rain and warmth makes things hurt, and sinuses not least of all. So shall sit inside and feel sorry for myself instead. Especially since there were no turkey rolls at Loblaws even though they had them last week-- also frozen stuffed turkeys for $55, dear lord-- and I wanted an easy cook easy carve turkey roll to supply my protein for three or four days. Old age is when eating is less a pleasure and more of a chore: have you had sufficient protein today, sufficient fibre, sufficient green veg? My wholegrain cereal and blueberries take care of at least half the fibre but the protein is a problem. It's supposed to be something ridiculous like 90 grams for someone my age and weight and I can't manage that. I should just lose weight and then I could eat less.
Reading is a bust. Finished a Miles Burton, or maybe two-- they don't stick in the memory, but I'm glad Kobo has more of them in. Have a dead tree Golden Age mystery from the library and When They Burned the Butterfly waiting there for whenever it stops raining. But my most enjoyable reading right now is an oddity. Back in the 90s there was a fanfiction collection called Anime House Presents, generally a mixed bag of stories in 80s series I didn't know, and varying widely as to quality. But one writer, Vicki Wyman, wrote in Lupin Sansei, and wrote really well. I don't know that series at all but it doesn't matter: Wyman did that best-of-doujinshi thing of making the characters distinctly her own, in stories whose titles all start with the words 'Thoughts Contingent'. I've been going through my collection with a view to getting rid of them, and have reached the special all Eroica issue. In which there's a longish novella by Wyman, crossing Lupin and his two henchmen in a caper with Dorian and Klaus. Thoughts Contingent on a Blithe Spirit is an utter delight and I'm taking it very slowly to spin out the pleasure.
