A day of errands. Work permitted, thankfully. There were groceries to hunt down, returns to make, dog food to donate, a dirty car to wash, salads to procure. I started (ish) on the finances by realizing the estimated tax payment I thought I’d made I actually hadn’t....

Fresh sheets. Did the laundry today. Fresh Ira. Took a shower before bed. Glorious. I really want my rhythm back. I’m going to try and capture it tomorrow, or at least start it. I’ve been getting up on time. But, I’ve fallen into a loathsome habit of going back to...

I don’t know why, exactly, but tonight is a cozy night. The coziest night I’ve felt in a while. Pups are extra snuggly. We watched a movie together and I ate spaghetti and had a glass of wine. And now we’re in bed, gonna go to sleep early, and maybe read for a bit....

Wow. We watched the first genuinely, bonafide, no-excuses, terrible Hitchcock movie tonight. It was…wild. Nonsensical. Trash. Had to happen eventually, I guess. Anyway…it is late, so this is a short one. Night night. More tomorrow 🙂

Sigh. So…I learned something today: when measuring flour, you must scoop with a spoon into your dry measuring cup, then lightly level off. If you scoop it straight from the bag, like a dumbass, your baked goods will come out dry af. I knew it was off as soon as they...

I did it. I cooked myself a steak dinner. Set off the smoke alarm. I’d even opened up all the windows and put the central air fan on in anticipation…but it wasn’t enough. Not by half. Sigh. Whoever thought microwave stove hoods are sufficient for cooking should...

So, I want to learn how to cook a steak in an iron skillet. We don’t have a grill. That’s fine. We so rarely eat grill-able stuff, at least in the quantities necessary for a grill. So…a skillet. It’s enough for Liz and I to make a dinner to share. That’s what I want...

LONG workday today. A good one. But, long nonetheless. It felt normal, which is exactly what I needed. I didn’t quite get to bed when I wanted to last night, but better prospects tonight. Joy just curled herself up into the blanket on the bed. Like, under the blanket....

Netflix work is DONE. Whew. A weird thing to type given its a Sunday evening, but that’s only because it was a short week last week and there were still a few things I needed to finish so I could get them uploading. And now, they are. Woot! I’m listening to a podcast...

So…Wordpress has these daily prompts now, questions to answer for a blog entry. Maybe I’ll start using them. Who knows? Liz left today. Sigh. Another month+ alone at home for me. Month, really, I guess, since I’ll be done for a week up in Portland to see the fam for...
