Yesterday it rained all morning, my legs were unshaven, and I had an early morning meeting so I did a bunch of things I rarely do: I wore pants, and I drove.
I think I actually accomplished pretty much at work, but it was stuff like trying to edit the departmental website through the content management system and cleaning out email and playing phone catch-up – unsatisfying and frustrating. Plus “the drilling in the walls kept up and no one seemed to pay it any mind” [Bob Dylan, Lilly Rosemary and the Jack of Hearts], except it gave me a headache. They’re doing whatever the equivalent of tuckpointing is for this 1970s brutalist style building where I work. The pants were kinda tight; not bad for standing and sitting, but any amount of walking caused them to give me a wedgie. While driving, I had an inspiration to take a bubble bath and shave my legs, but I got distracted from that idea by the I got home tired and cranky and headachy.
I ended up taking the car for a few errands – tho I should have biked – and decided that what I really wanted for dinner was a hot dog – not a gourmet dog, just an Oscar Mayer regular hot dog – of which I had two packs in the freezer. With sweet pickle relish and Durkee sauce. So I got half a pack out to thaw, and made my last errand a stop at the grocery store for the relish, and had the perfect hot dog for dinner.
Hot dogs cooked in the micro with just a little water, so theyre almost roasted - the way I used to make them for my kids when they were little
