Wow!
Tonight I made dinner. I did NOT want American food, and my mom's idea of "healthy" includes being drowned in an oil/heavy cream mixture... So, taking my lessons from the past, I stir-fried some veggies, in NOT too much oil. The veggies were carrots, who don't really like being stir-fried, and some past-their-prime mushrooms. The mushrooms looked thirsty so I threw in a pat of butter--> no longer vegan. So then, since I was feeding my grandmother and she is not one for vegetables, I threw in some chicken cutlet left over from last night. The upside, I suppose, is that although I included meat, it was not the highlight of the meal, and also I left the carrots undercooked so it feels like I am eating a garden. Also, the meal cost nothing as I used things that my mother had bought and also the things that I used were things that would have landed in the trash, had she been cleaning the fridge at the moment that I was cooking. In an effort to improve myself, I blew lots of money on thank you cards so now all that is left is writing and sending... I must take pressure off myself aand JUST DO IT. The New Year's resolution to acquire a Jetta is underway, as are dreams of finding a job. All I can think about is my as-of-June APARTMENT. And the parties and the friends visiting that will ensue. I really cannot wait to be doing exactly what I am doing this moment every night of my life-- that is, eating Alex food while having some downtime at the computer. My other resolution, to snag a live one, also has its seed planted and watered... I must now only wait for it to grow into a shining sunflower! Props if that makes ANY sense to you.
My Gaja is coming. I miss her.
