don't be a drag, just be a queen

I was informed that I should be spending more time updating my blog. This comment came from [censored], who is most likely to know what I did on any given day - but it was because [censored] was excited to read about all he got done yesterday and then didn't have a record of achievement to review. This is a real mixed message since [censored] is [censored] because [censored] doesn't like being blogged about, but I guess I'm sorry??

sssanyway, yesterday [censored] did many tings around the house (fixed a door, hooked up my grill, mowed, string trimmed, etc.) while I mostly stayed in the shade and wrote / journaled / read something a friend wanted me to read. I also experimented with making meatballs - I've never made meatballs for spaghetti and meatballs before, but after mastering ham balls, I feel like a good meatball needs to make it into my repertoire. Last night's experiment was pretty good - it was super easy, since the only thing that required chopping was some parsley from one of my outdoor pots. The meatballs were quite tasty, and went well with a jar of marinara sauce. I'm going to keep trying before settling on a final recipe, but this one was good for starters.

After making meatballs, [censored] and I ate a late dinner while watching some clips from various Conan podcasts. Then I went to bed, slept somewhat poorly, and had trouble falling back asleep because of my neighbor's dogs. So I didn't get around as early as I intended today, but I did pull myself together and slog pretty much straight from 10-7. At some point in there I said farewell to [censored]. After the slogging was done, I walked downtown to pay my gas bill (and steam myself, since it was still almost 100 degrees and the humidity was high), and then I spent some quality time on my balcony with my journals. And now I need to sleep - goodnight!
