We’re talking budget at work. My brain is numb. That is all. (I got the effect in the second photo by moving the phone, by the way. The shot expresses exactly how I felt when I took it…) ___ My #photo365 project on Tumblr.

cccccold
If I were in the habit of swearing on my blogs, I would swear. It’s gotten seriously cold. Yesterday morning I was so stressed, I drove to the local 24-hour Metro (grocery store) to buy some chocolate. This was what I saw as I walked back to my car. (That’s not my car, by the [...]

drowning my cares
This is where I go to forget. And feel better. And rest. And restore myself. And feel born again. Also: Clean. Out of all the things in my life right now – all the things I love – my tub is my best friend, and the only thing that truly seems to calm me. What [...]

fierce
RRRRRAWR! (Actually, that’s just him yawning. But doesn’t he look fierce? I need me some of that.) Seriously, though – very lazy day. Lots of napping going on. Laziness. Good for me. Made a frittata (below). Was trying to improve on my own technique, after sampling someone else’s at brunch. Very satisfying. Do you ever [...]
garbage juice
Yesterday when I was bagging up my kitchen garbage to take out, I spilled garbage juice all over my work pants and wool socks. Nasty. I immediately took them off and soaked them in a bucket of water with a few glugs of vinegar added, to help deodorize them. I’ll be laundering them today… First [...]

green bean massacre
It never fails. I make a grocery store run, I end up with a green bean massacre on my hands. (My cats will eat all sorts of plants – including lilies – and green beans are one of their favorite things to snack on. When I bring my groceries in, they immediately go on a [...]

kitchen towel
The above photo was taken early in the morning while I was preparing my breakfast and lunch. I lay on my kitchen floor beside my refrigerator to take it. This is the towel (rag, really) that I use to wipe my hands while I’m working in the kitchen. I change it every day for a [...]

magical bowls
I store produce in two glass-fronted cupboards in my kitchen. Each cupboard holds several bowls on shelves, and to a friend of mine, it looks like the bowls magically replenish themselves every week. I wish. This whimsical idea has been entertaining me, though. What if I really did have magical bowls? What if they really [...]

laundry hack using safety pins
When I had to take my cats to the vet last weekend, they were given charcoal to help absorb the poison from the lilies. One of the cats later threw up some of the charcoal in his litter, and then walked in it… and then walked across my bed. I got charcoal on my duvet [...]
