lillilahAs I was working with Claude.ai to fill in some of the missing backstory for the space serial, I realized that could really use a spot in the story background website to put in the plans of groups, which made me realize that I need to have a spot for factions. So, I got that started today. Yay! I'm really happy that I can work with the AI on this. I am the kind of person who comes up with ideas when discussing things, so it is way easier to come up with an answer if I type out my question. It is especially nice that I don't need to have everything in the question in order. I can put things in as I think of them, and the AI can make sense of it.
In other news, I have added chickpeas to my morning soup. In part, this is because it is much harder to get split peas here than it was in Russia. So, if I use half chickpeas and half split peas in the recipe, Joel has to spend less time hauling the peas from Lisbon. Previously when I ate them, I had terrible gas. However, I've taken a lot of digestive enzymes since then (in an effort to solve that problem). The other reason this change is nice is that it diversifies what I am eating. Since I eat the same thing every single day, it is important to make sure those same things contain a lot of different kinds of food. Happily, I've also been able to eat the mallow (which is basically a weed) that grows in the yard. I couldn't eat nettle, which is disappointing, but there is a lot of mallow around here, and supposedly it has anti-inflammatory properties, which is always helpful with my delicate digestive system.
