Brief reprieves

Today went much faster than yesterday or the day before, I think because I rearranged some of the fungus in the nests. As a result, I got to go home before it was dark out (7:30 pm). A nice treat. I don't know if it was the shorter observation periods, or the fact that I spent more time sitting on the exercise ball, but my back feels pretty good as well. I also went on a long bike ride this morning, up to the top of South Mountain, and maybe that has something to do with it.

And that is all for now. It was nice to have a little bit of time and energy to cook this evening--I made up my own borscht recipe--a simple affair, but tasty. Borscht isn't quite the same with golden beets, but that was what I had in abundance.
