I had the weirdest dream this morning - after a restless night. I didn't sleep well, again, I don't know why. Around four I dozed a bit and had this weird dream. Where the tires of my car were so smooth, so run-down, that the air went out of one of them ... and I was stuck along the road somewhere ... boss refused to help, (which is not realistic), but a secret admirer turned up and helped me ... someone who'd been admiring me from a distance for a long time. This, too, is completely unrealistic.
Although everyone wishes they had someone who admires us for who we are - somewhere deep down, so deep we don't even admit it to ourselves. I've made peace with my single life a long time ago. I've always had the choice to work towards becoming the kind of woman, a man could be happy with - instead, I chose to work towards becoming happy.
And for the most part, I am happy! I still need to work on dealing with work frustrations, so they don't get to me so much. And the rest is simply me being an adult child - and I have a program to deal with that. Apart from the financial insecurity, I'm living the best life ever! Better than the life I've been working towards!
I always thought I'd end up in a small flat, with my entertainment and hobbies centered around my PC ... Ziva changed all that. Well, the first change was actually, when I started to grow plants on the balcony in the small flat in Pretoria North. That inspired me to look for a place with a garden, when I moved to PE. I got so much pleasure from the garden there - and Ziva only found me, because I had the garden ...
Now I'm stuck with four lovebugs! Each has already been here, for attention, while I wrote this. I've had Mini on my lap, now Janey just hopped on.
I've turned on the geyser, I have a lot of cleaning to do, today.
Just about eleven. Kitchen is clean, I've just taken a breakfast break ... now to hang up the laundry.
Well, I cleaned the percolator and hung up the laundry. Now I need to come up with ideas.
Internet's been off for a few hours. In the meantime, I've packed the tomato juice in bags, which I've put in the freezer. After I've re-arranged the freezer to make space. I took out the cookie dough - I figure it's time to make the cookies. I've cleaned and cut the beans - just need to parboil them, and pack them in the freezer as well.
Oh, and Smeagol showed up again! He hasn't been around for two nights in a row - and he hadn't eaten any food, either. As much as I worry about him - his absence also is a time of peace for my mippies.
Just past three, beans are in the freezer. Still need to vacuum pack, once they're frozen.
Remember how I said the carrots are somewhat on the large side? Well, that's the biggest one:
That's MY hand, not some infant's! Seriously!
I've experimented with the Rösti maker again. This time, I mixed an egg with the potato strips, as well as steamed carrots, which I also put through the Rösti maker. I shaped half into patti's, and the other half I tried to follow the recipe - making one big pan sized patti. The former worked, the latter ... just scrambled, again.
Well, I've worked hard today. Or rather: I've achieved a lot! Tomorrow, I'll need to start by cleaning the kitchen again - and end with that, again, as well. I'll need to bake bread rolls, and I'll bake cookies instead of muffins. Then there's the stew - but that shouldn't take long. Although I have a lot of chopping to do, for that. I think I'll grate that huge carrot - I think it's the only thing to do with that.
I remembered to put on the geyser late afternoon, so, once mippies are inside, I'll enjoy a lovely hot bath, and then I'll just snuggle ...
