Upon checking myself in the bathroom mirror, I discovered a lovely, massive bruise forming on the back of my left thigh. The whole leg feels a bit numb, which means I most likely hit the sciatic nerve, which means oh joy, more sciatica flare-ups. When I get home I'm taking the homeopathic arnica pills and applying the special massage oil and lotion which both contain arnica (and tamanu and hypericum and helichrysum and sea buckthorn, etc).

In honor of the goji chicken dream, lunch today was a chicken sandwich.
And I have goji juice at home. It's from Puritan Sale; a 32-oz bottle for seven dollars each. I'd ordered four bottles, with shipping for a dollar, and since a bottle is usually thirty dollars, it was like getting four for the price of one even with shipping. Like most brands, it's cut with other juices. But unlike most brands, those other juices are awesome: pomegranate, blueberry, and aronia. No other brand I've seen has that, only pear and apple. Pomegranate, blueberry, and aronia juices are phenomenal juices, right up there with goji. Therefore, the Puritan brand is the best in my mind. If I couldn't get the pure, one hundred percent goji juice, this is the brand I'd buy over all others (hey, four for one deal too). Besides, pure goji juice is such an acquired taste. It tastes like a mix of tomato, carrot, and orange juice. I like it mixed with other juices no matter what people say, because they'll say that diluted is crap compared to undiluted, because they want to make money. Really, it depends on how much goji they use.
Also, if I drink two ounces every day, those four bottles will last me two months, as opposed to one bottle lasting two weeks. Thirty dollars every two months, or every two weeks. Not a hard choice.

Also, I am reading the latest paperback edition of Good Omens, the one with the introduction and the interviews with Neil Gaiman and Terry Pratchett, and it's making me so happy. And in the cafeteria, there was a box of assorted chocolates, so I had a dark chocolate espresso candy, and a dark chocolate red wine candy. My sandwich was delicious: Grilled chicken panini with parmesan, sun-dried tomatoes, and basil pesto. Yay.
