Wash: Psychic, though? That sounds like something out of science fiction. Zoe: We live in a space ship, dear. Wash: So?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
This has the potential to be a terrible idea, right?
Yes. I mean, if an "ethnic" friend invites you to a restaurant, and knows what to order there that's not on the menu, then great. But inviting a friend along specifically for that reason? No.

Our wings are not tired.
Oh how I would love to spend an evening drinking wine with Consuela and Javachik
Ah, that does sound nice.
It is good to read that the mother encounters have been better than feared! We have had a good day here at Mom's. My sister made dinner, kinda. I think everyone had a part in it.
I did have to work and could not figure part of the stuff out so I had to drag DH into it. Seriously, this is why I figured out so many technical issues. It is less complex to just do it myself.

I hope the car stuff gets resolved soon, Connie.
Mom's been gone for seven years now. My sister wants to call and chat tomorrow, though, so I'll get some family time then.

Well, I did all my cooking for the week today. I made this black-eyed peas salad earlier today and it is delicious: [link]
I spooned it over toast since I didn't have any tortilla chips.
And I just finished a large batch of vegetarian cauliflower and lentil curry. Now I just have to figure out if I have enough tupperware with lids to cram all the leftovers in the refrigerator.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
The only productive thing I've done today is cooking, and even that was not organized enough for me to be able to say I have meals for the week. Probably I do, it seems like a lot of food, but it's not really meals, as such.
It's probably more important that I wash some underwear and towels to get through the week.
You know, seeing a white towel with "Don't Panic" embroidered on it in large friendly letters hanging in my bathroom really does make me feel better.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
My kitchen surfaces are all shiny clean except for the floor, and the sink is empty.
I don't wanna do laundry now...

This reminds me that I still need to clean the bathroom. God damn it.
All right, I've got that on my To Do list for one of the period breaks in tonight's Blackhawks game.
