Sitting here busily uploading web changes and catching up on Hotmail correspondence while waiting for the thunderstorms to hit.

I used yesterday's holiday to take care of a few odds and ends. The local grocer has stopped selling my favorite cocoa, and because this chaos could not continue I went out to Trader Joe's in search of something other than the nasty paper packet variety with fake marshmallows.

Scored! Food porn: Ghirardhelli cocoa in 4 flavors (including my beloved Chocolate Hazelnut). Cajun and jambalaya simmer sauces to excite mine and D.'s bored palates. Organically grown beef, to see if it really tastes better than the usual swimming-in-antibiotics type. No Pudge Brownies, to let D. work his baking magic. Fantastic smells in that place, a reminder why I don't go more often - it's all so tempting!!

Also searched for remedies to help my trainwrecking skin. Note: tea tree oil could dry up the Baron Harkonnen's acne, and only a tiny dab will do ya - that stuff ROCKS!

I'm trying to drink more water, partly for my skin but also for my stomach. For the past couple of weeks even decaf coffee is bothering me, so I'm trying to make a habit of one full glass of water in the morning before breakfast and another one before dinner.

Jury duty today: Some folks cannot keep their eyes on the ball. Others can't give a straight answer. Much tail-chasing.

Been proofing/brainstorming fic, including the much-discussed "Queer Eye for the Snape Guy". On the back burner at the moment as I have more urgent storylines creeping up.

Back to the grind tomorrow..

Heathens! Just what kind of uncivilized backwater is Calgary, anyway??

Have you tried looking for any specialty grocers in the phone book? They do have a web site (http://www.ghirardelli.com/), but I know it would be a pill to have to have it shipped.

Oh, it's quite civilized (after all, has Ikea, Indigo and Fair's Fair), but does not have any SaveOn stores (the only place in Lethbridge that sold the stuff). Tons of small specialty grocery stores ... I just honestly haven't got 'round to checking them out because of adjustment exhaustion. But, this month, my energy seems to be coming back, so plan to go on the hunt ... mebbe even brave the net of oneway streets that surround Au Claire Market (home of many exotic and imported goodies). I'll find it somewhere, even if I have to drive all the way to Red Deer (the closest SaveOn location).

DID check the company website in September, but the inconsiderate designers did NOT include a list of distributors and locations ***pout*** (and while the exchange rate may be improving, the shipping rates from the U.S. are horrendous).
