here's a way to start the week

First wake up at 4AM feeling shaky and nauseous. Is it withdrawal from that stupid anti-depressant? Blood Sugar? PMS? Hmmm, too groggy to stab finger and check sugar. Let's eat a few slices of bread. It's bland and will send up the sugar if that's the problem. Go back to sleep.

Get awaken at the earliest telemarketers can call you. It's SEARS looking for their money. The post office sent back THEIR mail too and I missed a payment as a result. Mentally whip the postmaster. Pay bill over the phone consider giving USPS the 40$ late fee bill, plan to tell them again about them sending the mail back and No Sears did NOT keep the returned letter, Mr. Postmaster.

Check sugar. Be thankful I ate the bread since the blood sugar was in the double digits four hours after eating. Going to chill for a while before telling the students I miskeyed two questions on the test and that's why their scores are different and pray the weather man is wrong and that it won't rain all day and start snowing at night because I have to draive 30 miles on a lonely country road that doesn't know the meaning of street lamps all the way back.

ARGH!

This day has to end and it's not even noon. I open the curtains to see it's snowed three inches. Out to shovel the walk. Hand is now so numb I can't hold the shovel so I'm using one hand and a foot to do this task. Student loans called me to tell me they're suing me again. I keep telling them I'm disabled but since I'm not 100% disabled they don't care. They won't mail me the paperwork. TWO years this has been going on. Today she goes well we could FAX it. Listen dumb fucks, why didn't you say so two years ago? I wonder if I can get Oprah to take pity on me and put me on the show for donations at this point.

Recipes - For Leni's Holiday gift

 

leni_ba  asked for some 'simple' recipes for the holidays. Here's my modest offering. Most of the usual courses for ONE meal are here (though I suspect most of us will not prepare all of these for one setting). Sorry about the American measures since I don't know the others (you can convert them on line I know). Hopefully there's something simple enough to suit your tastes, Leni. Hope everyone else enjoys them as well. (be thankful I didn't try to teach you the traditional Italian Christmas Eve feast of the Seven fishes)
