It's been a bit of a blah day.
I expected these. The days where I lay around and wonder what I'm doing.
I'm trying to decide between making a tuna fish sandwich or risotto with shrimp and asparagus for dinner. I've made this risotto dish before. It's based on a dish I had once at a restaurant called Calo that my friend Laura took me to on a visit last May. It was sooo good and with asparagus from a farmer's market in St. Louis last summer I attempted to recreate it. I did okay. I think I could do it again. I just need to find the energy.
I rented Schindler's List. Not to be depressed, it was just next on the Netflix queue. I've never seen it and feel it's something I should see. Do I make fancy risotto and watch depressing movies? Do I eat tuna and watch depressing movies? Do I take myself out for a drink? The answer to that is 'not likely' since that would require putting on real pants.
I'm good when I give myself a task. Tomorrow, lunch with Emily and Laura, Friday, new makeup shopping with Sarah B. and making dinner with a friend. Today was no plans and no motivation. These days are fewer, for sure. I don't relish them. Although, working up the motivation to write all this out has helped me create the desire to cook actual food. Fancy risotto and depressing film, here I come. Wish me luck on both fronts.

Wish I would have read this earlier...I would have recommended a nutritional dinner of either pop tarts (to go with a re-viewing of your favorite Gilmore Girls episodes - they ALWAYS make me smile!) or cupcakes (and SATC). That's the extent of my energy on those type of "funky" days.
ReplyDeleteSpeaking of which, I totally know the funk/blah you're referring to. I, as well, tend to experience those more when I have nothing planned. Uh oh...tomorrow is one of those days! Sure, I have a to do list as long as my arm but knowing my history I'll spend the majority of the day getting sucked into the computer and then an hour running around the house shortly before Lee gets home to make it look like I did something other than "ass around" all day.
The rest of your weeks sounds so fun! I know it will improve your mood and you'll have new make-up to show for it - yeah!
So when do we get to see pics of your new abode? I'm getting antsy over here!
