Big Developments
When you only leave the house once a week to go to the grocery store, it's hard to have a lot of big news to share. This week my 24-pack of Diet Coke did split wide open in the middle of the snacks aisle at Jewel and send cans rolling in every direction, but that's as exciting as things got. I do think I brought a lot of people joy with that maneuver, though.
Other than that it's been work, chatting with friends, and watching TV. Oh, and I've taken up crafting in a serious way. Ian and I have been learning the fine art of mosaic and this week I ordered a weaving kit. I envision myself developing a textiles empire, but the more likely result is probably half of a scarf.
Eating has taken on a whole new importance in this environment. Of course, I've always been a fan of going to town on a big bucket o mac and cheese, but now I find myself planning out meals days in advance. And each time I finish one I start thinking about the next. We ordered in Taco Bell on Monday and it was a tragically transformative experience for me. And tonight my chicken sandwich almost made me weep. So yes, there may be some signs that I am unwell.
Overall, though, I think I'm keeping it together. I mean, the light bulbs around here have never been so quickly changed. And we're certainly caught up on our DVR. So onward we march.
