My body dries out ever-so slightly, only requiring more drinking water, a little hand lotion, lip balm. I am not a husk, blowing away in the wind. My dose will double on Saturday night, though. Luckily, I love lotion and balm and own lots of it.

My agenda this weekend includes learning how to fight on the ground, going to brunch, studying Japanese some more. I worry that my old adult brain isn’t porous enough to absorb a strange language, that is, unless I immersed myself in it for at least two years. Oh well. Better than nothing.

I would eat taco salad every night if I could. Maybe.

handful shredded lettuce
large spoonful of rice
large spoonful of seasoned ground beef, turkey, or soy-meat TVP
large spoonful of beans
salsa OR chopped tomatoes

chopped mango if you’re feeling crazy

In big bowl, smash ingredients together into messy heaping pile of deliciousness. Consume!
