Dang, the Blues singer at the stage next to my apartment is interrupting every song to hawk her CD. And played one song that was basically 15 minutes of repeating "tip my band." I'm surprised she didn't go out on stage with crutches, a head bandage, and a tin cup.

Kalshane, We sometimes watch our Sensei's two kids. We have babysat each since they were infants and they are now 4 and 20 months. I refer to them as the dojo kids for simplicity. K-Bug has provided child care at the dojo for the young children of other students. So it can get confusing.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Today I'm trying "cook once, eat all month" through onceamonthmom.com. I'm done with 12 recipes so far today and ahead of schedule! Back is killing me though.

Trust my rage

There was a little girl (10) kidnapped in Westminster yesterday. Apparently she left for school and never arrived. I was just on a panel with an FBI person for something unrelated and she said they think it was "the real deal" which I think means a stranger kidnapping.

Sad and scary but I didn't mean to say it twice.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I just informed my husband that he was not coming back from his business trip to a clean house tomorrow, as the cleaning lady makes her twice-month visit on Monday. The laundry will be done, though, so he'll have clean sheets to slip into.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I got caught in the rain! But luckily, I was almost home by then. So now I'm back in sweats and cozy. I returned two pairs of shoes and got a new red (!) purse, which was sort of unnecessary, but eh, and ran around my old stomping grounds, which was nice.

Now I should really get cracking on the cooking. I am intrigued by cooking once a month, but sort of do that anyway -- at least, I occasionally make things that go in the freezer, often cook something on the weekend to eat several times during the week, and half-ass the rest of the time. Glancing at bon's link, I see a "Braided spaghetti bread," and I have been meaning for months to make a stuffed bread thing, so let's hope I make it to TJ's and remember to get stuff for that. Monday, I guess. Monday!!

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

I would probably do well with a cooking once a month thing. I have a friend (homeschooling two young boys, whose husband is a firefighter with irregular schedule) who's been doing it for years, and it works great for her. Me, it's good if I remember I made a second meatloaf and froze it. (Which I did! And it's good!)

I need to make fish stock over this holiday weekend, too, because my freezer is quite alarming with carnage at the moment.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

so he'll have clean sheets to slip into

but they won't be on the bed?

::sigh:: The pharmacy I was going to go to closed at 2. So...not leaving house. Thankfully that was a refill way ahead of time. Irritatinglingly, they wrote both prescriptions on the same slip, so filling one means I have to go back there for the second, which came up due a little later.

I am unsurprisingly okay with not going out.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."

Okay, this might be about to come off self-aggrandizing, but I'm really chuffed right now because an introduction I made last summer just resulted in a work team from one of our supporting churches going out to work on tornado relief projects led by another acquaintance of ours. I don't mean to make it about me, because I'm not the one who just spent a holiday weekend Saturday out sweating, but I'm pleased that the connection took, and I'm glad to see the church out there doing, you know, work.

eta: yeah, ita !, I hit a point around 3:00 today where it was clear I wasn't leaving the house, and I am totally good with that.
