a good day to stay in
it was a good day to stay indoors
after errands
that
is
had to drop off
cat hair covered leggings
at the dry cleaner
with all the weight i have gained
and
so far
haven't lost
tho
there is that
pound
that
comes and goes
its a tease
that pound
is
anyway
with all the extra weight
all thats comfortable
are
leggings
big sweaters
lucky for me
its winter
so
i went out
got necessities
like
bread
coffee filters
at
zabars
coffee
at
irving farms
citarella's
turkey meatloaf
baked salmon
chunky mashed potatoes
brown rice pilaf
of course
i didn't think it out
if i had
i would have
gone
to
citarella first
zabars last
that way
i wouldn't have been schlepping
all that
so far
after slip sliding
a bit
i stopped into stuart weitzman
for boots
that won't slip slide
then
home to warm up
i was about to edit some photos
for the blog
when the doorbell
buzzed
it was our former neighbor and his new significant other
what a treat
we spent a few hours catching up
i miss him a lot
the woman who moved into his apartment
is a voice teacher
a lot of her pupils should not give up their day job
it was wicked cold
so cold
i wore a hat
i hate wearing hats
they make my head itch
or
in the case of the hat i wore
a wool cap with ear flaps
forehead itched
but
i have to admit
my ears were not cold
i also made cream of wheat again
not instant
wanted to add maple syrup
but it was congealed
friends on Facebook
have instructed me
on how to remedy this
for next time
apparently
maple syrup like honey
never goes 'bad'
it crystalizes if you keep it in the fridge
turns out
the maple syrup
i had
was
from 2007
a vintage year
ha!
here's jack
ignoring me
why do cats
always
lay
lie
on
the
sharpest
hardest
thing
he seems to be in charge of the remotes on toonman's desk
