Things of Note:
This cold will not quit! Normally we like to cook something fancy-ish on Easter, even though we’re not religious at all, just for funsies. But this year I was still wiped out by my cold and we just did leftovers. I’m feeling almost back to normal now, just trying to take it easy and kick the last of this out. We’ve got our engagement photo shoot on Thursday, I need to be healthy!
On the upside, I’ve read like 5 books in the past week, so at least I’m catching up on my reading goal.
How about you? How was your Easter weekend?

Jesus, one year of water left? I knew the drought was bad, obviously, but not THAT bad. And what’s up with almonds being total water hogs? I have no problem eating fewer nuts if the agriculture industry can figure out how to save precious liquid while they grow things. That was very educational.
Yeah, I found the numbers in that article very eye-opening, too.
