Today’s the no-fun time change, when we lose an hour, and, even though it may be staying lighter later in the evening, it’s darker in the morning. To make it even better, it’s a dreary, rainy, wet day – all the snow is melting and the basement is leaking in three places.
I should feel good – I did a bunch of work in both online classes, and then discovered that I don’t have a meeting tomorrow morning that I thought I did – I had it in my calendar wrong – so more time in the A.M. John got a really nice offer for grad school – so even though he’s stuck in the hard recovery from his broken ankle, he might be set for the next couple of years – going to grad school can be his job. Al’s OK, too – he’s got a real job here in Madison, real meaning that he doesn’t love it, but it’s a step in the right direction.
But I don’t. I think I am feeling the effects of nine months of being too busy. I need to get my tax stuff together. Stuff at School Woods keeps cancelling ‘cuz no one signs up. I’m looking for my joie de vivre, I think.
These guys will help:
Peeps!
And, this:
Hell’s Kitchen style rosti – fried grated potatoes with bacon, garlic, onion, scallions, parsley
Cranberry crumb cakes – look it how that pear got damaged in my grocery bag on the way back from the co-op yesterday, tho – grrr
Another view of the cranberry crumb cakes
And, yet another view of the cranberry crumb cakes
I think I feel better already. And we’re having tall chocolate cake – chocolate angel food cake – with butterscotch pudding & smashed berries on top for dessert. Maybe I’ll get a good pic of that – if it’s lighter later.
