rejectomorphOh deep delay of time. But then it isn't time that's been delayed, it's me. Actually I was here a couple of days ago and planned to write an entry then, but got distracted, or fell asleep, or something I don't recall, and never got around to it. And then Friday brought the nightmare of shopping (what I endure for donuts!) and very weird sleep patterns, and some strange dreams which, thankfully, I have forgotten. The weather has continued to be mild, but Monday is to be quite chilly and will bring rain, and two subsequent days will also be cold, so it now seems likely I'll be forced to turn on the furnace early next week. I could forego it and just be cold, I guess, but HAHAHAHAHA that will happen.
The store was out of a couple of things I ordered, but more annoying is that they failed to pack the garlic and shallots I ordered (and paid for) so my diet will be duller than planned. I'll call them Monday and get the refund for the missing items, but I'd rather have the stuff. Most annoying of all is the fact that I myself forgot to order mushrooms, for which I'd had plans. I don't want to bother the kids to made a special trip to pick the stuff up for me, as having looked after old people myself for several years I know how annoying we can be, and I decided long ago to not be one of them. So no mushrooms, and only the garlic I had on hand, and I guess I can substitute onion for the shallot. Good thing I'm such a crappy cook anyway, as I'd be very unhappy if I were missing anything really good.
And of course I've got beer, and donuts, and I've got tea and biscotti for the rainy days. Oh, and cocoa. And it's going to be cold enough to do baking. I'm thinking cornbread, and maybe a spice cake. For tonight I've got a creampuff. I think I'll munch that right now, since I had dinner on time, and I'll be wanting to go to bed in an hour or so. Oh, look how late it is.
