plant lettuces: check
April 13, 2009 – 7:51 pmSpring is not cooperating here. Today it was rainsnowing. I planted lettuces on Saturday anyway. Along with kale, chard, spinach, radishes and carrots. smile.
Things at our house have been kinda crazy. I am now unemployed. Not unexpected, but nevertheless. This isn’t a bad thing per se. Just kindof hard for me to get used to. Last week (my first full week of unemployment) I got absolutely nothing done. And wanted to take a nap about twice a day. Today I began the week by imposing a little more discipline on myself: Get up. Read something brain/spirit-expanding. Drink tea (4 cups). Do schoolwork. Run.
Maybe next week I will tackle: Get dressed before noon.
Now, I’m also hoping that a bit more head space will mean getting a bit more extracurricular writing done. Some should go here, some in my journal, some towards new songs. Also, I’m researching some local places I can do some volunteer work. And starting training for a half-marathon on May 10. We will see how this goes. I am mostly worried about my knees.
Today it was so chilly/rainy that I was inspired to make Refrigerator Soup. You know it, the one where you rummage through the fridge to find anything soup-worthy (regardless of freshness) and stick it in the pot. Today was serendipitous and I was secretly smug about my mad grocery-shopping skills. Yield: 1/2 head of cabbage, 1 large sweet potato, 1 tupperware of chickpeas, half an onion, and some garlic cloves. Add some veggie boullion, some thyme and rosemary and cayenne, get Hubs to pick up a baguette on his way home; and you have dinner worth eating.
Oh, and I got a job offer today. a good one.
