This jigsaw puzzle is the slowest ever. So many identical flowers, pieces that could go anywhere.
Everyone's a philosopher, even the puzzle people at Springbok, which, despite the name, proudly proclaims it's all USA all the time.
Great jolt of joy when you fit a piece in or a little group with its friends. Periods of total sense of incompetence between jolts.
Gloves and socks are continuing. Spinning continuing. Energy about 6 on a scale of 10.
But I did a good lunch, beautiful as well as good food
Golden jasmine rice, with turmeric, old Bay, salmon with salt, pepper, lemon juice. Raw kale.
Total time elapsed about 23 minutes.
This is why I bother cooking: colors keep my old person's small appetite up, good eating keeps my reduced energy up. Also I'm worth it! This is three meals for moi.
Misfits seems to be having a run of supply issues. Yesterday I signed on within one minute of the order open window, and: no flour, Fuji nor gala apples, dried apricots, baking cocoa, pita bread, favorite yogurt. Half my list not available.
And when they confirm my order on Wednesday I expect they'll sadly inform me that other items will once again be unavailable. Not blaming them. I think worldwide unrest, failed harvests, shipping issues, are probably behind it.
But I have to be pretty inventive to work around the gaps, however, I can't really say I'm hurting when I sit down to a lunch like the above.
I read a feature today proclaiming today, Superbowl Sunday, as the event that unites the USA. The ones who know it's on, that is. And who's playing. And where.
I literally know one person who cares, and he went solo to wherever it's happening. Not so sure about this uniting.
For people who either instantly got the puzzle or fear they will never get the puzzle, it's
CHAFFINCH!
This cracks me up because I was assigned to the Chaffinch Patrol in my Girl Guides (Scouts) years. But everyone knew the cool girls with all the badges were in the Swallows.
You'd think, as Mary would say, I'd be over it by now, heh. I am. I totally am. So take that, Jean McWilliams!
Happy evening, everyone! Enjoy your grudges while you've got them!
