Thoughts on the Day

The beautiful weather we had on Saturday was a head fake. We had freezing rain and snow with lows in the 20’s again last night.
Apparently I have been designated the “safe” place when the cats are playing grabass in the evening.
- There I am, just minding my own business, and suddenly I have one Siamese standing on my chest, claws dug in, meowling at the other Siamese to leave her the hell alone.
Irish Woman has come down with the same crud I am getting over. Her trip to the doc-in-the-box was as quick and painless as mine.
- I hate to say this, but I love that cigarettes-and-whiskey voice she always gets when she has a cold.
Dinner tonight was a roasted chicken with steamed peas, mashed potatoes, and gravy.
- The carcass is already in the crockpot with bell peppers, mushrooms, garlic, and onions to be stewed for soup tomorrow night. I’ll start it tomorrow morning and finish it with either rice or noodles tomorrow after work.
- I’m trying to show Girlie Bear how to cook good food without having to work too hard or spend a lot of money.
- Plus, it’s February. I need warm, filling comfort food to ward off bad thoughts.
I took Girlie Bear to get a cup of coffee today after an appointment. She pronounced that the coffee shop we visited was a bit on the hippie side, and remarked how the other one we go to is more of a neighborhood coffee shop. I’ve never been so proud.
