How to get past a monotonous menu
Facing a monotonous menu for the next day or so, I realize that the picture on the package should not be used as a guide to taste. I’m into an oversize lasagna; the kind you purchase to feed a family of four. I figured “What the hey?” One person over four meals is just like a family of four doing things once, right?
Except that a family might have gone into an expanded view of things. You know, salad, dessert, etc. I’m just working my way through to done, and I think that by the time I see the bottom of that aluminum tray, I’m going to be ready for something else. Anything else!
Today seemed a bit longer than yesterday. Grey outside, some rain, a dog that is bored with (my) life. In a better existence, we’d be out wandering the fields, except that the local newspaper carried a rather scary story about how our tick population is nasty and numerous. We don’t have opossums to keep the numbers down. I don’t want to borrow the dog’s anti-tick collar. I’m taking my own safety to heart, by staying indoors. I am slowly realizing that there are still toys to play with. I have a bicycle to prepare for a new season. I have music; lots of music.
Guess I’ll get back to pondering my existence. That’s good for a few hours of nap time, no matter what else comes up. Or I could figure out how to navigate Netflix and just chill. That’s supposed to be what the younger folks do.
