In which I watch TV, cook, and hang out online. (WHAT IS NOT TO LOVE ABOUT THIS RIVETING CONTENT, I ASK YOU.) Hi. Welcome to my day off. It’s pleasantly sunny outside, although the high is still ONLY ZERO DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. I am wearing sweats. They’re grey. The hoodie sports the logo of Scott’s alma […]
In which there’s a recipe for soup, because I want to know EXACTLY WHERE THIS IS and not have to read a dozen other recipes again the next time I decide to make soup for Scott. I haven’t eaten chicken noodle soup for a few decades, probably, but I remember the Campbell’s and Lipton versions: […]
In which I complain about things I don’t like. Because I’m spiritual and restrained like that. Finance I spend a lot of time on Amazon.com. I just do. I’m a Kindle owner several times over, I like ordering stuff online and not having to deal with stores or people or shopping, and it’s just convenient. […]
In which there are a million chai recipes, but this one is mine. My Chai Ingredients 3 c. water 2 c. whole milk 3 black tea bags 2 whole cloves 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. ground cardamom 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. ground true cinnamon 1/8 to 1/4 tsp. ground ginger 3 Tbsp.jaggery, or to taste Method […]
In which there’s a snack orgy for Sunday dinner. I worked all weekend, of course, because nobody gives a shit that I MOVED TWO THOUSAND MILES TO HANG OUT WITH THE GUY I LIVE WITH AND NOT TO WORK AT THE FUCKING HOME DEPOT. Working evenings and weekends sucks. Yesterday evening my beloved came to […]
In which there are germs and self-pity. Last night around eight I started to feel really icky. By ten I was passed out under three blankets on the bed. By twelve-thirty my beloved was force-feeding me Alka Seltzer cold formula. (Orange flavored and nasty. Like angry Gatorade.) This morning I felt awful and called in […]
In which standing is apparently much healthier than sitting but it hurts like a bitch. While I really enjoy my new job as I’m doing it, my feet hurt, the pay’s lame, and the schedule is horrendous. Don’t even get me started on the noise and the horrible lighting and the concrete floors, or the […]
In which I’m employed! I’ve been here a whole month yesterday! Had two calls from the temp agency, but no assignments. So today I went for an interview with Home Depot and got offered a job on the spot! I went to apply for a part-time seasonal gig in the garden department, but ended up […]
In which I got to see the view from the 27th floor. When I told people I was moving to Minneapolis, they invariably responded, “Oh, for work?” and I kept having to say, “No, for love. I think I’ll temp or something,” because apparently grown people don’t just move two thousand miles unless it’s for […]
In which I wore a coat to work this morning. RIP, summer. That huge tree in the neighbor’s yard has begun dropping horse chestnuts into the alley by the bushel, it’s darker earlier every night, and we had our equinox on Saturday: it must be fall. I really need to get some working lights on […]
