In which there’s 28 pounds of history. My mother and step-father are leaving Wyoming, where they’ve lived for many years, to return to the Pacific Northwest for retirement. This means they’re going through all their shit as they pack. My mom emailed me to say she’d found a box of my stuff that appeared to […]
In which there are eggs. I woke up here in the new year, grabbed my phone, and searched ‘egg & chips.’ (Leftover fries in the fridge, you see.) Found this recipe from The Irish Times and had all the ingredients on hand! Got up and cooked. So, here’s eggs & chips with a green sauce […]
In which there’s a review! Of a year! Started the year in a chat pilot program, which meant typing rather than speaking with people, which was so much better. The pilot was a success! It was approved, made permanent, aaaand given to another call center. In India. So I got moved back to phones. They […]
In which there’s bread and soup. I went to the bakery down the street today and bought bread (a baguette and a rye boule), and then I served some for dinner with a pot of yummy soup! Saw a meatless pasta e fagioli recipe online that called for lentils, so I threw in some Beluga […]
In which I cooked a lovely meal. I have today off! Slept in, got up, took some saag paneer out of the freezer to defrost. Made rice and dal fry in the electric pressure cooker. Made carrot raita. Here’s lunch! Considered making some naan or papad, too, but didn’t. Four courses is plenty. Yum!
In which this is a pain in the arse. I’ve been using Flickr for image hosting since 2006, and have nearly 14k pictures there. They recently announced they’re moving to a for-pay model, and even though I do like their photo editor, I don’t know that I like it enough to pay fifty bucks a […]
In which I had the day off and did a bunch of domestic crap! My beloved got a new job, which he started today. So he got up and went to work early this morning, and my lazy ass slept until 10:30. Whoo! Then I ordered groceries, made the bed, and tidied up the apartment […]

In which I got sick as hell. Sunday I got off work, came home, had some cape cods, Skyped with my friends, and went to bed. Monday I woke up late morning feeling normal, and within a couple-few hours I was sick. I thought it was influenza. Fever, cough, aches, pains. Exhaustion. Oh, it was […]
