What are "Things I don't have in my house today"?
Hint: nearly everything y'all have listed
Gunn: The final score can't be rigged. I don't care how many players you grease, that last shot always comes up a question mark. But here's the thing. You never know when you're taking it. It could be when you're duking it out with the Legion of Doom, or just crossing the street deciding where to have brunch. So you just treat it like it was up to you—the world in balance—'cause you never know when it is.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Handful of grated cheese and some olives from a jar that's been living on the refrigerator door = charcuterie plate.

In all fairness, my therapist told me I can't consider that a meal. I told her that Aldi has pre-shredded gouda and gruyere and that's pretty damn fancy. She said it still wasn't a meal, but if I would melt the cheese on an English muffin I'd be getting closer to a meal.
Damn, that sounds good.

Sounds like a meal to me. I've eaten a can of olives by itself as a meal recently and was perfectly satisfied.
Possibly my judgment in this area is suspect.
Now that I have assembled dinner and started it cooking it will apparently never finish. Cruel fate toys with me.

Praise be, the end is sight. Half an hour, I can hang on that long....

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
If you put cheese, nuts and fruit on a plate you are certified FANCY.
Whole Foods and Trader Joe's both have pre-made meals you can just heat up for lunch.

I'm reading a collection of mystery short stories and in the last one I finished the orangutan did it.
I think this day might be defective.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I have pretty much talked myself into not eating dinner because it's too much trouble right now, so I don't feel like I can help with that, sj.
Yeah, that's what I had too. I think I ate something today. That's adulting.

Sometimes it is.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
I have to really watch the carbs--rice and tortellini are pushing it. So are the beans, but with the veg--plus raw carrots and occasional fruit and the protein, I walked that line pretty well. I'd live on bread and pasta if I could...but you know, pasta...or death? Sort of decides itself.
I will not primp veg--it never improves it, and it's a waste of time *for me* and a constant frustration of expectation. So I just won't. There are few that I'll eat raw or steamed, and I went with those.
