On the subject of pasta, on Monday I brought up in therapy that I was disappointed with the time I've spent with Matilda this summer. I expected to cook more with her and I can barely get her to sit down with me once a week to watch Hacks. (She's been spending a lot of nights at her boyfriend's apartment.)
So, instead of marinating in that I just told Matilda and we made a date to season the carbon steel pans that she got me at xmas time (so I could teach her how to do that).
We did it last night and then I showed her how to make the bolognese sauce I made for her regularly for lunch in HS. She said she'd made bolognese at school a few times but mine was better. She took three pages of notes and it came out great with leftovers.
Have you heard the good news?! Interpersonal issues can be resolved by direct communication!
It's not Jesus after all.
Also, tonight is my friend Jes' monthly drag show at the bookstore and I've talked Matilda into attending with me.
In Other Exciting News Filled With Domestic Drama: I had to clean all the dishes before we cooked last night and I had pre-emptively ordered Dr. Pooper's anti sink flies potion because they've been gross and breeding in my pipes. Eucchhhh. Hateful little fuckers.
Anyway, I killed them last night.

Apparently our summer outlet sale is waaay busier than expected, so I have agreed to a half day tomorrow in addition to the half days I already had signed up for Sat & Sun. I hope I don't regret that too much on Monday. I have already asked for Tuesday off, so I'll be able to recover then...

And our power is apparently restored at the office although obviously I am not going back there now.
