I recently found this recipe for 1-pot, no-drain mac & cheese, and I'm tempted to try it
I might try that one. 1-pot, dump it in and heat it, recipes are about my speed.
Maybe I've always been here.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Are people getting shorter? I'm 5'2", and more and more I'm noticing that most of the people around me are my height or only a couple of inches taller. Many are shorter. Most of the nurses at the doctors office were shorter than me. It's becoming startling when I find people several inches taller than me. Isn't the average height for women in the U.S. 5'4"?

Yep. I'm 5'8" and I rarely meet women taller than me.

Isn't finding unexpected photos great, Juliebird? I once found a photo of my dad in the mid-50s, complete with beret, an attempt at a goatee, and a cigarette, that absolutely screamed beatnik. It was delightful.

Same. Actually, I feel like I'm around women my height fairly frequently, but they're wearing heels and I'm not.

It really is, Calli. I nothinged the man, but he sure was beautiful when he was young. There was one kittenish photo of Grams that read "From your Easter Bunny", and then a suspiciously well-worn photo of Gramps in swim trunks. We even found a baby photo of my dad, who has dark brown hair now (unless he's dying and I don't know it), with nappy blond curls. Would never have guessed.

Doves and even a sparrow are hunkered down on my deck. The dove are in the sun, but the sparrow is using my planters as a windbreak. Too damned cold. And my autocorrect wants me to capitalize damned.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
I insulated a window, all by myself! And I didn't fall or anything! Now all the windows in my living room are insulated. Next up is the bathroom, which I'll need the ladder for. I was able to stand on the back of the couch and use the bookcase for balance when I was doing the living room one. (My basic goal here is to put the space heater in the living room and seal off all the ways for the heat to escape, so that the living room will be warm, and pretty much ignore the other two rooms on the first floor; and then get my bedroom and bathroom windows insulated, and get an electric blanket for my bed, and a couple of extra bathmats for the bathroom floor, so that I can at least sleep and take a shower without freezing.)

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Go Hil! BTW I looove having a space heater in the bathroom, if that's a viable option.
I feel like I am around women who are taller than me (I am 5'2") all the time. How much taller I couldn't say.
I'd be very surprised if people were getting shorter. Average height has generally trended up for ages, hasn't it?
