sushi!

cattitude and I just had sushi for the first time in 16 months, having decided that (at least this week) in this part of Massachusetts, I was willing to eat indoors.

It wasn't astounding sushi, but it was sushi, and reasonably good, and hey, raw fish! nori! And then we went to the farmers market, so I have raspberries and peaches and lettuce and cherry tomatoes, and bread and local honey. (Genki-ya, in Davis Square.)

Now I am home, and glad to be in an air conditioned room. (Weather Underground says the air quality here is "155: unhealthy," but the weather app on my iPhone says "70: moderate." I wore a mask indoors and part of the time I was outdoors, and the air seemed OK.)

Tomorrow will be a day to stay close to home and not over-exert myself, because I am trying to be cautious after being sick for several weeks, including a relapse or two.

Wednesday has been doing some reading

Based on a recommendation from rysmiel, in the past month or so I've read all of Lois Bujold's Penric novellas. They're fantasy stories, in the same world as her Chalion books; the first novella is "Penric's Demon." I mentioned to Rysmiel that I'd been reading Becky Chambers and enjoying the parts of The Galaxy, and the Ground Within that are about developing/deepening friendships, and rysmiel said that they had enjoyed the first two Penric and Desdemona novellas for similar reasons.

I don't seem to have posted about the Chambers, or about liking Naomi Kritzer's Chaos on Catnet, which shares the theme of friendship and found/chosen family, but this will have to do as a catch-up post.

Current reading: All the Devils are Here, a mystery novel by Louise Penny, on the kindle and phone, and slowly making my way through The Age of Wood in hardcover. I think mrissa recommended the book about wood. I saw the Penny in a post about the Agatha Awards on File 770, where Mike Glyer posts lists of the winners of many sff awards, and some genre-adjacent ones.
