Been a while
Oops, I guess I let my journal slip a bit there. Funny how doing nothing can take so much time. Well, now I'm busy. Getting ready for a short vacation. But, how does one take a vacation from a permanent vacation? Well, I guess it's more a change of scene. I'll undoubtedly be busier on vacation than I normally am at home. It's a tough life.
Preparing dinner tonight for a couple from down the street. Couple of what? Well, alcoholics, mostly. Not that I mind drinking or other indulgences; I do them myself. But, it is the level that bugs me. Funny that the level of an activity that a person does is considered 'normal' and anything more than that is considered to excess. The universal egocentric view of the world.
I am putting on the dog tonight. And yet in an understated way so that it doesn't look like anything special. The best way to outshine someone is to appear not to be doing so. "Oh, this is just something I threw together. Oh, do you like the fois gras? Thanks, I just had it sitting in the fridge and thought I better use it before it went bad."
I'll try to remember to file a report tomorrow.
