Day Off

What a lazy day! Except for the laundry scramble, I sat around a lot today, and it felt good!

Supper tonight: pot roast with root vegetables, smashed potatoes (the girls dug them for me), mustard greens from Let It Grow, poached bosc pears with cajeta and cream. We ran out of propane in the middle of cooking , which necessitated firing up the wood cookstove. I got a little grouchy, but then I got over it. We finally got our Netflix thing worked out (long and boring story), and we watched our first movie of the season—-Starsky and Hutch. Predictibly dumb, but pleasantly mindless, which was a good thing for me tonight.

Tomorrow M* and I are back on the diet. The induction part of it. I think it’s going to feel good—I kind of pigged out this weekend in anticipation, you know, like Fat Tuesday before Lent. Yay M*! Let’s do it!

I thought I would sleep in today, being off the blasted breakfast shift and all, but I was up and washing dishes at 5 this morning. I also spent some time trying to figure out why the computer keeps freezing up. Turned out to be all those temporary internet files. I deleted them, and defragged, and all is well again.

All right—I’m dragging myself off to bed. Goodnight all!
