DISRUPTION.

HAHAHAHAHA

Poor Tim, but that doesn't sound as bad as it might have been! Glad y'all were able to find a dental office t take care of it today!

I am hoping to make a bunch of soup today but first I need a quick lunch because I forgot to eat at lunch time and now I'm starving. I actually bought chicken parts to make into soup which feels very weird but that seems to be what I need to do today.

shrift, I applaud your ability to keep yourself so well fed given you crazy work schedule.

Thanks, Burrell. Although I'll point out that leftovers do last a lot longer when you only have to feed yourself.

Laundry is in the wash. Beets are roasting the oven. I think it's time to retire to the couch and watch Agent Carter.

Oh, I meant to say, I think soylent is vegan? I'm not sure about that, but I think I remember reading that it was, at least, not milk-based a so many meal replacement shakes seem to be.

I think the original version used a protein derived from brown rice? Something like that

I think I could have handled the turnips or the barley, but not together.

I love lots of the other recipes, though. And some of them are super easy to keep the stuff to do them on-hand, even if I'm not actively using the menu.

Also, if I don't make time to cook for myself on weekends, I end up eating nothing for breakfast and frozen pizza for dinner. If I have quick, easy, and healthy options available when I'm tired, I make better food choices.

Soybeans and lentils, hence the name. Or so they say.

Dang, my canoe somehow fell off its sawhorses. I think the process must have involved the tarp that was covering it turning into a sail? It's pretty unwieldy for one person to manhandle, but I got it back in the correct position to not get full of rain, so I'm proud of myself.

Operation Make Soup is slowly in progress. Have cleared off some counter space and started pulling veggies out of the fridge. I'll need to start a load of towels before I do more of that, though. and I need to sit here and not move for a few minutes before doing anything about the towels.

I keep planning to spend a weekend day cooking up a big batch of stuff, but then stuff happens. This weekend it was dealing with Dad. We're moving him into memory care tomorrow, so I spent all afternoon dealing with that.

So tired, and emotionally out of spoons.

Happily, I found time to stop at TJs yesterday, where I got a bunch of lunches and a frozen pizza. Tomorrow I'll be on the run all day (what a great use of my limited vacation time, sigh), and then I will have chorus rehearsal.

Dad's been delusional off and on all week, and we've had to hire overnight care. On top of everything else, he's managed to break his $$$ dentures, and I have to get him into the dentist tomorrow to see if he can fix them. God knows how long it's been going on, but they're causing actual pain, so that can't have helped his mental state/cognitive abilities.

I did finally defeat the dragon Verizon, and made a bunch of other calls I needed to do.

Now I'm at home with a cup of tea I wish was a whiskey, and I need to pay bills and walk the dog. Argh.

I keep meaning to do the same thing, but it never happens either. Usually baby stuff and lack of energy get in the way. I'm sorry about your dad.

We are attempting to let ltc sleep in the crib at bed time tonight. I'm feeling a little ill about it, and we haven't even put her to sleep yet.

That sounds rough, Consuela. I hope getting him into memory care helps.

I was just gonna take Walter for a walk, but I thought I would drop my grocery bag and the candy I bought to keep at my desk in the car on the way and when I opened the car door he, of course, hopped in and wouldn't come out. So we went to see if I could find the park that is getting improvements, including a dog park. I think we did, but it's too early to see what they are doing. Anyway, there was a paved trail around the park so we walked that. There are some nice little parks on that I can get to a little more easily than I thought - it's just residential neighborhoods that I never have reason to go to, so I haven't explored it.

ETA: Aha! The park improvements were supposed to be completed in December like I thought, but El Nino hs pushed back the expected date to February. I was thinking maybe I read Dec '16 as Dec '15 and would have to wait all year. Couple of months is much better!
