Sep. 26th, 2005 09:56 pmI came up with a brilliant plan today. (You may correctly interpret this to mean that I came up with an idea that doesn't have a chance of being executed.) Somewhere in mid-morning when I'm at work, I always have a bunch of productive things at home that I think of doing, and then I get really anxious and excited about starting them, but since I'm at work, I can't. And then by the time I get home, I'm too tired to even think about working on anything other than a good book and maybe a computer game. Lather, rinse, repeat. So today it occured to me that what we should do--M is the same way--is to get up on our days off and come to work for a couple of hours. Just when we get all antsy with all the lovely things we need to be doing at home, we can leave! And go home to do all those things we were wishing we could do! Because on our actual days off, we sit around and eat cheetos instead of wriitng books and cleaning bathtubs. And, there are a thousand flaws with this plan but first and most importantly... hello! Not going to get up and go to work on my day off! That would suck!
The bread machine thing is going well, by the way. We haven't bought a loaf of bread in a long while. I didn't really intend to give up my bread because.. I am a creature of habit and bread comes in plastic bags. Besides that, I know preservatives are bad and stuff, but I don't go through a lot of bread, and my bread needs and M's bread needs are incompatible, so we have to buy separate loaves (when we were still buying it.) So, I rather like that whole thing where it doesn't go bad for a few weeks. However, and perhaps this is a sign from above that I should eat better bread, the last two loaves I bought (before and during the purchase of the bread machine) ended up with mold growing on them after a very short time. Defective bread! And so I figured that I might as well find myself a good white bread recipe if it was going to spoil like real food products do. I had a sandwich from that loaf at lunchtime and it was so, so good that I had it again for dinner. (I really should stop doing that because it's how I ruin foods these days. Right now I can't stand even thinking about eating a piece of bread since I overdosed on it earlier.) I guess the main point here is that today's sandwich ingestion required another batch of bread to be made, and it's time I go put the cooled loaf away. And take a nap. A long one.
