It's Monday and I am very sleepy this morning. Last night, I was suddenly anxious as hell, so I took a couple of anti anxiety pills, and today I am having the aftereffects. I'll perk up with some coffee, but for the moment, I'm kinda tired.
Yoda was a total little fuckface yesterday. The only way he shuts up is if my sister goes in her room or if Jess and I sit at the dining foom table. It's obnoxious. I don't know how to fix it, because nothing works. If you ignore him, he barks, if you do anything but those things, he continues to escalate, jumping up and climbing on me like a jungle gym, and generally being a hell beast. It's making me dislike the weekends (and dislike the dog or at least resent the fuck out of him.)
I decided that I was going to take it easy yesterday. Yeah, that didn't work out so well. First, I cooked breakfast. Two dutch baby pancakes, bacon and sausage. It was very good, though the dutch babies weren't as good as the first one I made. I think that may just be one of those things that you have to make one batch at a time. Which is not a huge problem, just a learning experience.
Then, I filled and ran the dishwasher. Then, I did the rest of the dishes and cleaned the counter and stove really well. Then, I swept the floor, and then I ran the wet jet mop over it. Then I sat the fuck down, because my back was shrieking.
For the afternoon, I showered and relaxed until it was time to slice some onions and start dinner. We had Chicken curry, using the Golden Curry cubes. I used four, then added another four because it wasn't strong emough. It had a lovely flavor, and I'm definitely going to be trying the other types of curry they sell.
Tonight, I have no idea what I'm making for the main dish. It may just be a roast, and some veggies. We've got Collard greens and carrots to use up, so I'll probably make one or both. The collards require a bit of a time investment, so I'll probably start cooking them this morning, or on my lunch break, to at least get the bacon cooked and the collards preped. Oh, and the chicken broth ready (I think we have enough chicken base to make stock..?)
Okay, time to get my ass in gear. Everyone have an outstanding Monday!
