You know, I've saved lives. Dozens. Maybe hundreds. I reattached a girl's leg. Her whole leg. She named her hamster after me. I got a hamster. He drops a box of money, he gets a town.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I wish I could tell you anything else about the stew I had! But otherwise, it was pretty regular stew flavor, with mushrooms and carrots.

Well, I have a "classic pot roast" recipe that calls for mushroom and carrots that I can probably adapt and throw into the crockpot tomorrow. Maybe I'll, like, rub the goat with spices beforehand.

I love anything that is dry rub, frankly. If you have a herbes de provence, then your stew might taste vaguely mediterranean?

Shot given two hours ago. This medicine hurts for a bit after, which is no good.

I have an accreditation visit at school for which I co-wrote the accreditation report. It starts tomorrow. As does the bit of cookie boothing I'm supposed to do.

I cannot tell you how exhausted I am. I just have to make it through Tuesday.

I've been watching Disney movies in my room since I last posted and the tension is finally leaving my body. I think this is the first day in a while that I wore my boot all day and was doing stuff all day. Normally while I work I take my boot off since I'm not walking.

Tomorrow is packing, Costco (already confirmed that they have electric carts), and then making some freezer meals. I can do a fair bit of that sitting, so I'm going to try to be easier on myself.

Tuesday is close...you can DO IT!!!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I'm pretty sure no one can do a deep clean of the whole house in a weekend.

Depends on your definition of "clean", I suppose.

Hang in there, Kat.

I found a recipe for Lebanese Seven Spices which might be what I had in mind and certainly smells good, which I will rub on the goat, substitute leeks for onion since I have leeks and don't have onion, use some of my chicken/duck stock in place of condensed onion soup, and leave out the potatoes. I think this will work.

Meanwhile, I realize* I don't have the ground pork I thought I did, I have boneless pork chops. So those are thawing and I'll have that with some sauteed bok choy for dinner.

'* By realize I mean I actually looked in the freezer

Disney movies is a good call, SuziQ. I can't recommend Wreck it Ralph strongly enough for its therapeutic value.

I'm making this peanut stew for dinner. I'm adding kale a bit later, because I think it needs some greens.

Yum!

Crap, I keep forgetting I have kale. But I want bok choy. Sorry, kale.
