Everybody dies, Tracey. Someone's carrying a bullet for you right now, doesn't even know it. The trick is to die of old age before it finds you.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Ugh, that gave me some bad work flashbacks.
My Mom made delicious tuna casserole--classic egg noodles, cream of mushroom soup, canned tuna. She also usually put walnuts on top because, like me, she thinks everything is better if it's a little nutty!
We had yummy dinner last night--grilled lamb steak sliced and tossed with a parsley/mint pesto I'd made a while ago and froze, grilled corn on the cob, grilled green beans, potato and yellow squash casserole. And I made a stone fruit and blue berry crisp in the cast iron pan for dessert!
I'm trying to wake up earlier so I can get ready to be in the UK next week so this morning I went to my friend's 6:30 yoga class. Now I REALLY want to nap but I'm going to try not to. Or at least try to get something productive done before I nap. I really want to nap.

Ooh, that sounds so good, lisah! Dinner, morning yoga, trip to UK - all of it!

I have packed all the soft foods and all my meds. Now if I can manage to get dressed I will have no excuse not to go to work.

My egg noodles are always mush.
Make sure you are cooking in plenty of boiling water and start checking for doneness a couple of minutes before the suggested cooking time on the package.
I'm not sure why my mom used canned cream of mushroom soup for tuna casserole but always made mornay sauce from scratch for her mac & cheese (also, very delicious). I'll have to ask her!

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
I have no excuse not to go to work. My commute is 12 steps. I would like to take this morning off, though. We were short-handed at the restaurant, and I ended up working from 5 to 1 am yesterday. So now I'm achy and exhausted, and Monday is already being Monday.

-t, I hope your mouth feels better today.
Rob was always the tuna noodle casserole king. His used either rice or egg noodles--depending on his mood--peas, canned tuna, cream of cheddar soup, salt, pepper, and corn flake crumbs on top. And now I want his tuna casserole.

My mom never made tuna noodle casserole (her equivalent used chicken instead), but she does make the yummiest tuna salad I've ever tasted. Like me she hates mayonnaise, so uses the bare minimum required to hold it together.

My mom used to make tuna casserole using those dried chow mein noodles, eliminating the boil pasta step. The inside ones would get noodly and the ones near the top maintained their crunch.

Monday is already being Monday.
It turns out that when you spend a weekend doing nothing but adulting, you want to stab everyone in the face on Monday morning.
Also, when people say they are going to come visit you in San Francisco, and I'm all, "I hope you don't think you're staying with me, because HA HA HA NOPE." Like, you do realize I haven't moved in yet?
I'm probably not going to kill everyone.
Probably.
