I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
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.

I did the touchups on the banister today. I'm sure I'll find more to do (I'm nitpicky) and god knows the stairs need help now..... And I've got fix up all the wall paint bits.
Sat on the front steps eating a salad for lunch while Loki played jungle kitty in the sun-dappled front yard. He got really into it.
Swam an overcaffeinated couple miles (yeah, I really did have too much coffee today.)
Had a dinner of asparagus and 'shrooms, and a cider on the deck while Loki and Pumpkin hung out. Pumpkin leaped in Anna's tiny window and caught her attention, so then it was chatting while my cats explored her house.

Oh, banister pictures starting at today's (from the whole set if you want to go back to the gorey beginning): [link]

hip deep in pie
I got a Fitbit on Friday. And I never left my neighborhood and walked almost 14000 steps. However, I was off work and running errands all day.
But yesterday I tripped crossing the street and managed to hurt my wrist and knee, so my mobility is considerably less.
