As I mentioned in this post, Tom is out of town for the next week, so I’m on my own.
So far, I have cleaned the kitchen, the dining room, the bathrooms, done a load of laundry, done the grocery shopping, and bought a bunch of fabric at Jo-Ann, did some sewing, and planted some key lime seeds.
This morning, I followed this tutorial on Smitten Kitchen and had poached eggs and toast. I think I’m going to have this every morning. It was the first time I’ve not had my poached eggs turn into disgusting blobs. I didn’t have any butter for my toast, so I used mayonnaise instead. It was yummy.
Tomorrow I have to drive to Covina to get my car serviced. I’m nervous about it. Seriously.
My back hurts (it might be kidney failure, I’ll let you know) and I should go to bed, but the live Olympic coverage that we are getting is pretty neat and I have anxiety.
Since I decided to quit my job with no notice, and I have decided not to start a new job until the 18th, you may be wondering, why didn’t I go with Tom? Well, first of all, Tom made his plans with Martin and Lisa before I made my plans (which were very last minute), second of all, I didn’t want to foul up anyone’s plans, and third of all, I like having the time to myself. I need it to re-energize. And I’m playing with the idea of a short jaunt up North in the fall. Depends on the money situation as the time draws nearer.

I’m so glad you linked to the poached egg directions! I told Aunt Doodie on Saturday that I wanted to learn how to poach an egg, and then promptly forgot. Woohoo!

That sounds mightily industrious. Well done! And thank you for the poached egg recipe. I can’t make them for shit, but that egg looks magnificent.
