Whew. Saturday afternoon: yesterday.

Things that would be mild conditions under normal circumstances are hitting me rather hard this week. I gave myself cold shock yesterday, and the resulting headache was enough to knock me out and make me too nauseous for dinner. We went to the beach today, loveliest beach I have ever seen in my life, and the sun plus the drifting around got me a little overheated and queasy, and then we drove over to an ice cream place across winding roads and ick. The whole thing just hit me quite hard. I was lucky to be in the company of such kind and considerate comrades looking after their newbie: one got me water, another gave me ginger pills, and I sat in the AC and took deep breaths and then had matcha and kiwi ice cream to set things right.

Life is still quite good. And I have internet, now!

ps quail eggs are delicious.
