GTL. Minus the T, and the G, and Possibly the L

Good Morning, Kittens.
 
Just a quick update today, because nothing has really happened of consequence.
 
Yesterday, I didn't go to the gym.  I am bad.  I decided, instead, to cook enough food to last for a couple of meals.
 
I made a basic pasta sauce.  I am thinking of following the Fabulous Lora's soup idea (which she blogged about here) with the sauce.  Each day I can add something new to it until it is gone.  Yay!  I started with onion, yellow bell pepper, a can of diced tomatoes, and spiced it all up with Herbs de Provence.  Nomz.  Maybe today I'll add mushrooms!  Or broccoli!  Mmmmm ...
 
So, rather than go to the gym, I cooked and ate.  Hm.  Counterproductive?  Perhaps.
 
Today, I need to do laundry.  Unless our machines are still broken (or have broken again or have exploded).  If the machines are non-working, I will go to the gym.  See?  Fit!  Healthy!  Yay!
 
But I will still have dirty clothes.  Life is hard.
 
Have a great day!
*smooches*

    As long as your gym clothes are clean, I think you'll be okay! ;-) You could always come here and do laundry. Bring Isabella, too (don't worry, the doggies have a Very Healthy Respect for kittehs - we had a Maine Coon who used to bully every dog he encountered). Just offering... ;-)

    I love cooking meals ahead of time. It makes me like an efficient 1950s housewife.

    Laundry. I should do mine.

    The soup thing is fantastic. I'm definitely going to do that.

    yay! i love your pasta idea!

    Did I tell you that it actually came out of eating pasta? the short story is that when I was in high school, my mom wouldn't feed me (sob) because I had a job (neglect) and I could buy my own food.

    So, I started with buttered or oiled noodles and went through the week from there. And by Friday, I had an amazing primavera with just a little bit of pasta as the base.

    Necessity is the mother of all invention. Thank all that is holy that I was parented so terribly. Who knows what I would have been otherwise!

I'm Back (from Vacation)

 I'm back. I will be posting about my vacation soon.  Well, soonish ... maybe this weekend.  I dunno. Also, I came back to a big pile of stress at work.  Good times. Can I go on vacation again?  (Why, yes. Yes, I can.  I'll be flying to Atlanta for Pesach.  Just the weekend.  Not the whole dang thing.  My body needs gluten. And, then, a quick trip to NC in early May to see the 'rents.) ANYWAY.  Israel and Latvia posts coming up. Stay tuned. Or just look at the pix on my IG. *hugz*

If We Took a Holiday ...

 Happy Presidents' Day! Since I last posted, so much has happened ... I think.   I was going to bake my parents heart-shaped biscuits, because -when we were wee lads- my mom used to bake my brother and I heart-shaped biscuits on Valentine's morning.  They were not as good as the biscuits I make now. However, after I grated the frozen butter in my food processor, I tipped it out into the flour and the handle on the food processor broke.  The bowl fell into the flour.  I dug out a few pieces of plastic and a spring, and I threw it all in the trash.  I called the manufacturer.  They are sending me a new bowl ... in 2-3 weeks.  UGH.  HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO MAKE BISCUITS NOW?!?!? The SigNoth caught a cold, so Valentine's Day was even more of a bust.  Not that I really buy into the whole pseudo-holiday thing anyway. Saturday, I did my taxes. Refund, yay!  And, I ordered some nice stationery.  I thought it would be fun to use my fa...

Too Early But Not Early Enough

 6:00AM. With the new normal, I should be on a bus to the metro station, where I board a train and then another train to arrive at my office bright and early and chipper as a newborn squirrel. Today is special, though.  It's Pottery Class Registration Day.  Which is surprisingly competitive.  The DMV has too many Type A Soccer Moms (and Dads). In order to register for class, I have to log on at 6:30AM and hope the Pottery Gods are kind to me in the registration queue.  We shall see ... so exciting. After I register, I will then board a bus and a train ... and another train to get to my office.  Depending on what time I arrive, I will either work late (ugh) or take some leave (also, ugh).  Being totally honest, I will more than likely take leave because I hate being at work late.   This would be a perfect day to telework.  If we were allowed to telework.  Too bad Danger Yam (as one of my mutuals calls He Who Must Not Be Named) thinks...
