the precipitation, it is a funny shape

Left work a bit early because I am absolutely exhausted. I suspect I'm fighting something. I hope I win.

However, that meant I was walking home during some of the oddest precipitation I've ever seen. Sort of a cross between snow and hail--solid 1/4 inch wide white lumps but with a lot of air in them, so that they fell fairly slowly and didn't sting your face when they hit. Also, they were all shaped like diamonds--a cone with a gently rounded base. Looking closely, it almost looked like they had grown like snail shells, wrapping around and around. Very pretty.

it's got chicken and broth...it must be soup

It occurs to me that I don't really so much make chicken soup, as I make a hearty chicken-vegetable-pasta salad with a lot of chicken-and-veggie-broth-based dressing.

Considering I was 2/3 of the way through the bowl before I got to the broth.

It's really too bad that the QFC near me doesn't have good cheap bread. (Or, generally, any good bread at all. I don't know how that store manages to make bread go stale so fast.)
