About par for course
My life’s been pretty crazy for just over a month now.
To recap, it all started going downhill when I got slammed onto my neck (twice), then immediately broke out in hives, which went away, but then a mouse appeared in my bedroom.
Because of the mouse, I tore my room apart, which meant it looked like hell, which was further discomforting.
While this was happening, my harddrive failed, which meant I started scrambling to fix it.
Once that was fixed, I ended up slicing open my finger, so I rang my brother to bitch.
And in the middle of my conversation with my brother bitching about my life, hackers came in, took all my passwords, and then reposted it for the world to see.
So, yeah, about par for course.
After two more weeks of madness, I think I’m finally on top of the latest hack. Or at least good enough to meet a friend for lunch.
Her: I’m gonna get the tuna melt. Although they always put in like three cans of tuna.
Me: (puzzled) On what planet is that a bad thing? Y’know, I never think to order a tuna melt but I always want one after I see it. Next time…
Also, because things were calming down, but not yet calm, I stopped and did what I always do when I need to clear my mind: Cook.
Or, in this case, bake.
See, the boy – like all kids – loves carbs. But I refuse to buy him prepacked, highly processed things like cookies and other sweets. Because of this, I usually have to bake. Often.
Oatmeal cookies, almond flour chocolate cakes, etc.
This time around, I found a buncha premade nut crusts so I made some organic, high-fiber, high-(good)fat pumpkin pies.
Four, to be exact.
They were so good that we – mainly I – ended up eating three of them and I finally remembered to take a picture of one of the finished pies when there was just over a half of it left.
While I love cooking for the boy, I gotta admit that I miss cooking for someone that’s not in second grade.
It’s funny what you miss.
Now, these are the kinda problems I wanna go back to.
Then again, there’s always tomorrow.
Location: home, after another all day shoot, wondering if I should have some pie
Mood: sick
Music: had a one-way ticket to a place where all the demons go (Spotify)
