rotini pasta

My brain is melting, as I turned the wrong burner up on the stove. Of course the pasta water isn't boiling. Currently making one of my favorite comfort foods of my 20s, pasta with Ragu sauce from the jar. I ate a lot of it when living on my own.

I decided not to go to d&d night. Brett won't be there, and I'm utterly worn out. The possibility of going insane over something stupid was high. Decompression time alone sounded like a better plan. Not to mention it's drizzling outside.

I never realized how big bald eagles were until recently. It's a strange thing.

Lori Petty on a tank

Wonder of wonders, Tank Girl is on television now. I can put off calling the cable company for another day. I've been thinking about upgrading our cable so that I can watch more than PBS and Fox.

Went to visit my mother this afternoon. She's got twenty stitches in her mouth and can't eat solid foods for at least a week. Alan's soup is the first real food she's had since Thursday and she really enjoyed it. She sent me home with some homemade cinnamon rolls with super buttery icing.

The house is pretty clean. I'm impressed. Some days I want to throw out all my possessions to reduce the clutter and things I worry about. I did some dishes last night. The quiet time helped my mood at lot. I'm feeling much more calm today.

kitty kaboom

We've got the most well adjusted cat in the world, it seems. Two hours after he got out of the car, Slate is prowling around the apartment and flopping in our laps. He's enormous! Big paws, long grey hair with shades of white and black. I love the kitty. So friendly and with such soft fur... it is good to have him here.

Ate dinner with Alan's father at Quality Seafood, where I ate fried scallops and hushpuppies. The ahi tuna was on sale, so we picked up a pound of that, and a pint of enormous sea scallops. We will eat well this weekend.
