etumukutenyakHey, this thing is still on!
So. *shuffles awkwardly* Yeah, I've been a little distracted lately. And by "lately" I mean a year or so, maybe three or four. Five, tops.
Five is a good number! Let's do that.
1. Still married, yay!
2. Still riding my bikes but not as frequently outside this past year (booo) -- mostly indoors on my trainer.
3. Lack of outdoor riding partly due to the influenza, then a hand injury, then a gastrointestinal virus (lovely!), and the weather -- too hot and too rainy all summer, then really bitterly cold or too rainy thus far.
4. Indoors, though, I'm riding up to 1.5 hours with ease, so yay! Depending on the revolutions per minute, that's roughly 18-20 miles per ride. As I continue, I'll extend the time and then up the speed so I can reasonably ride 50 miles in 4-6 hours.
5. Added a new thing: Tomb Raider -- my first RPG ever, and picked out with the help of hawkwing_lb. Starting out as a total newbie, and now not *just* a total newbie, I'm about 75% of the way through the game. Getting so much better at shooting the bad guys fast enough that I can spend more time exploring for relics, maps, etc. The frustrating moments are fewer and shorter in duration, although the half-hour I spent tussling with the giant Russian and repeatedly missing the *right button* for the proper sequence was so annoying that my wife was worried.
Second 5. Ah, lactose intolerance! How I hate thee! No more cheese, nor yogurt, nor cream sauces such as Alfredo...so now I wend my way to the Asian stores and restaurants. Good thing I already adore the various Chinese cuisines, along with Japanese, Korean, Viet, Thai, the various Indian cuisines, Uzbeki -- now I just have to add in Pinoy, Indonesian, and whatever else may be out there, deliciously dairy-free.
Third 5. NutPods Coconut Creamer, Hazelnut flavor is my Big Find. It's creamy, with a mouthfeel like milk. It goes excellently well on oatmeal. Oddly enough, despite my historic hatred of coconut, I prefer this to any other "milk" out there. Lactaid or other lactose-"free" milks aren't good enough.
