Last night I had a cheese sandwich for dinner &#8211; a sub, made with whole wheat sub bun bread from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.milios.com\/orderonline\/\">sub shop up the street<\/a>, sliced Tillamook cheddar from Costco, carrot &amp; daikon slaw from the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.epicurious.com\/recipes\/food\/views\/Pork-Meatball-Banh-Mi-356790\">meatball bahn mi sandwiches<\/a> I had made to eat while watching the Oscars, and Ovens of Brittany dill mustard dressing. I warmed up the bread a little, but somehow it still was a cold and not quite satisfying dinner. I finished off the Hershery&#8217;s kisses that had been in\u00a0 a (covered to keep the cats out) serving bowl in the counter.<\/p>\n<p>Today I went over to the co-op for a 7:30 a.m. finance committee meeting, and then had about 50 minutes to fill, before a staff meeting to announce <a href=\"http:\/\/host.madison.com\/wsj\/business\/article_f39930ee-2bbf-11df-8d19-001cc4c03286.html\">the site of the new store<\/a>. My plan was to go to the coffee bar up the street, get coffee and sit and work on my slides for tomorrow&#8217;s lecture. I had a Tupperware of Cheerios and a banana and a spoon in my bag, and I bought a pint of milk to put on my cereal.<\/p>\n<p>There were no seats whatsoever at the coffee place at 9:20 a.m. on a Tuesday, so I went back to the co-op, parked on the street, pushed the seat back in the car, and ate my cereal &amp; banana in the car while reading a book.<\/p>\n<p>After the meeting, I came back home to work and wait for the furnace man &#8211; the thermostat&#8217;s been being weird and the heat&#8217;s been dropping too much before it comes back on &#8211; we ended up with a new thermostat, but that&#8217;s another story.<\/p>\n<p>I wasn&#8217;t really hungry, but I still felt I deserved some kind of sit down breakfast, so I finished the carton of Mountain High yogurt with a little granola. I guess I really just need my mommy to make me one of her comfort foods, like tapioca pudding with the egg whites whipped so it&#8217;s fluffy, and eaten warm, or maybe fried bananas.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_567\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/woekathome.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-567\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-567\" title=\"woekathome\" src=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/woekathome-300x291.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"291\" srcset=\"https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/woekathome-300x291.jpg 300w, https:\/\/debslunch.com\/debslunchblog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/woekathome.jpg 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-567\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Work-at-home yogurt &amp; granola, with laptop on the side<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So it&#8217;s that really yucky part of the spring when it&#8217;s cold and damp and the snow is melting to reveal mud and trash.
