The Days Just Slip Away

Time just gets away from me here. I look at each day and ask, “What did I really do?”

Yesterday’s Curried Butternut Squash and Lentil Stew wasn’t bad, but damn there was a lot of it. We ate it for lunch again today and there is still half of it left. I bought some freezer bags at the supermercado because I am tired of the damn stuff.

I got up around 11 and Stef and I talked until 1 p.m. Then we changed the sheets on the beds (we had two pilgrims last night) and started the laundry. I went for a walk in the rain, got the bags and some Coke Zero (dropped on in the store, so it is in the fridge till tomorrow) then painted a door downstairs that needed a second coat. (It needs a third too, but that is tomorrow.) I was going to work on the mural but I got cold. Dinner was broccoli and mushrooms over rice. I told Mom she’s going to start eating more vegetarian food when I get back.

I know I’ve lost weight but I have no idea how much. But walking and eating mostly veggies will do that. Even though I eat “postre” most days. And a fair amount of Napolitana cookies, although not as many as I used to. (I’m bring a box back, guys, don’t worry. Maybe two.)

I also talked to Montse and Gingerbread Jon. I wanted to make sure he was okay after the shootings in New York. He is.

These pictures aren’t from today but I know y’all like pictures so here you go.
