In which I’m lazy. And broke.
I slept all day not because I was tired but because I had nothing to do and nowhere to go and no one was home to talk to. I had two cigarettes in my pack and no money to get any more, and one thing that poverty has taught me is that the best way to conserve resources is to be asleep so you can’t use any.
I got up twice to let the dog out, but not wanting to knit or watch TV I just went back to bed again. I can always drop off to sleep, even if I’ve already slept ten hours. Napping is my superhero power.
I keep my money in AmmZon’s account (because mine has a levy on it), and my balance has recently dropped below $300. Now I’m nickling and diming her to death: “Get me $20, please?” “Get me $50, please?” She’ll bring me $20 tonight and I’ll buy smokes and dog food and $6 worth of gas and be out of cash again.
All is not lost, though. I’m not so lazy and useless that I eat badly: today I had leftover broccoli-cheddar soup with a grilled cheese sandwich of utmost deliciousness!
Behold its ingredients: American and jack and brie cheeses, red peppers, green onions, tomato, lettuce, black olives, and pesto, on light rye. It was freaking amazing.
But the very best news is I have another job interview, here, next Thursday. Maybe I’ll get two p/t jobs! Wouldn’t that be wonderful?
In other news, I finally surfed over to check out Windows Vista. It’s a blatant copy of OSX. I mean, blatant! I can’t believe they can even get away with that shit: they copied the Dashboard concept and took Widgets and cleverly renamed them Gadgets. And while the new mobile Sync Center feature does seem cool, they probably should have released it back in Windows 95.
I am totally switching to Mac… if my circumstances should ever permit me to buy a computer again, that is.

Ahem, (as they say) what am I, chopped livah?
I’m mostly home–you could come talk at me. And my homemade sourdough would be a most excellent companion for one of your awesome soups….
Aah well, hope you’re keeping warm, and good luck with the interview, you’ve got a lot of people rootin’ for you!
xo
Aww, don’t be salty dear. *smooch* -m
I had a grilled cheese of the more standard variety and a bowl of gumbo for lunch, myself. (How effin’ southern is that, I ask?) I hear the chipperness in your “tone”. Good things await thee, my dear.
Gumbo has okra in it. I loathe okra. That’s why I chose to be born Yankee. 😉 -m
It seems like you’re interviewing at cool places at least. I hope you find something soon!
Thank you, me too! -m
I’m gonna have to try that recipe out. That’s one of the few times where I’d eat anything cheese-wise. (They had a brand called cheese-whiz hush!!) lol
My breaking point I think was eating close to a whole galloon of cheese-flavored ice cream. I would have made money too, but I didn’t finish it all. I was expecting a rocky road ice cream, not cheese.
They make cheese-flavored ice cream?!?! Whatever FOR?! -m
