the housemates are staining some furniture on the back porch. Simon the cat is walking back and forth over my bed to the window, checking the status every few minutes. the combination of sunlight and air is crisp and sharp, like my white sheets. i'm in bed with my laptop.

this place feels familiar and comfortable. i am very happy to be living here.

maedbh7 did me a HUGEASS favor and brought me to Stop and Shop today. i realized how big the favor was after i spent maybe ten minutes in the store and wanted to put a frozen item on my head and lay down in the aisle. yeah, that sucked. but i got good stuff:

fresh fish
fresh hamburger
dark leafy greens
carrots
fresh pineapple
pomegranate
avocado
more soymilk
chicken noodle soup
tea
stewed tomatoes
mango
popsicles

i need to find the energy to cook some of the fresh things tonight. i'll cook a bunch so i won't have to cook again for awhile. i'm trying to decide if i want a hamburger or if i want fish. they have about the same cooking time and take the same amount of energy. but the fish doesn't freeze well, so maybe i'll do that.
mmm tilapia filets with garlic...

did i mention that being sick is reeeeally fucking boring?
yup, it is.

Eat your greens!! Stay in school!!!

YUM!!!

steamed tilapia filets with garlic
steamed collard greens
a piece of that marvelous organic bread that fangirl got me (nuked for 20 seconds to produce that fresh bread consistency)

then i took the leftover steaming water from the veggies and put some miso in it so i could have "soup."

i'm not bad in the kitchen, i hafta say. and if i ate like this all the time, i'd probably never get sick again. lesson to be learnt there.
