Return of the Black Dog
It's sunny and starting to get warm but I feel melancholy. I've been trying to pretend like I'm not, as that usually improves my mood, but that ain't happening today. I really want to go back to bed and sleep the day away.
I ended up taking a short nap, even though I'd slept for eight hours last night(!!!) , and felt refreshed. Sometimes a quick nap seems to change my mood and this did help. Can't say I'm super thrilled with life, but that's not really feasible all the time anyway.
I did a small amount of housework today, just enough to not be completely embarrassed when a friend came over with dinner. She was kind enough to make a green curry and sticky rice. I added some tofu and mushrooms. It was delicious! After we ate we had a fire in the fireplace and played cards. She won. Husband and I each put a dollar in the kitty to pay for our loses. We do this each week and buy a big fancy dinner once a year with the proceeds. Last year we ordered sushi for delivery and it was wonderful! None of us have sushi much anymore so this was a special treat.
We're still working on the veggie chili I made on Friday even though I frozen some. I think we should be able to finish it off tomorrow. I'll need to break out the cookbooks and look for something to make later in the week to take to work with me. I think it really helps having some sort of leftover in the fridge for lunches. There's always stuff for sandwiches but we both seem to prefer to eat leftovers.
I did a load of kitchen towels and guiltily dried them in the dryer. They're the one thing I hate to hang up inside. It's soooooo fiddly! I don't mind putting them on the clothesline, but even that can seem like it takes forever. Tomorrow it's supposed to be near 70, so I'm going to put a couple of loads on the line. I love it when I can I start line drying this early in the year! I can usually go until October, so that's seven months of free outside drying!
