TCG took ltc to school today and picking her up. Which means I am still in my pjs, and there is no one else in my house. Which means I can mainline TV for the next 4 hours, which I have not done in nearly 6 months. I'm overwhelmed with the choices.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Allie Brosh from Hyperbole and a Half has a new book! Yay!
Woohoo!
I've made (fairly plain) Mac and Cheese - I'd cook the macaroni, make a white sauce using whole milk, add a LOT of cheddar, some salt, a little white pepper and a spoon of mustard - I had a jar of tarragon mustard that worked well, but a Dijon or spicy mustard works well. I've heard of adding ham to Mac and Cheese, but not peas. I'm opposed to tuna casserole, because I always think of tuna being something you eat cold (as in tuna salad). I like peas, generally ... once came across a recipe for spring peas just barely cooked and ... I'm thinking tomatoes and mustard? can't remember. I'm picky about a number of things ... I've developed an aversion to most meat. And I can't eat lobster (you're welcome to my share).
One of my go-to meals in college was mac & cheese with a can of meat (I preferred chicken over tuna, and Spam works surprisingly well) and a small can of peas or corn. Very yum and very filling and not very expensive.

Yay! I've been sort of worried about her.
This conversation has me wanting scalloped potatoes and ham.
Whyyyyy is my body betraying me? I slept from about 11:30 to 1, and then was awake until around 4.
I am so happy that there are Vegan mac and cheese dishes available. That is a big comfort food for me.
Bodies are not considerate at all, Dana. I'm sorry.
Since I feel like I often complain about how awful getting out of bed every day can be, I should report that this week has been an easier one for me on those terms. Not that I have been springing out of bed with a song in my heart ready to attack the day, but it has been less a matter of dragging myself through a swamp of despair to get myself to be able to start working, and that should be acknowledged.
Mac did not have a fever yesterday and feels all good, so he did not go get tested. He assured me he would keep checking temp and I got an unprompted "love you", so I'll just be up here in the clouds.
