The Great Giveaway during a Blue Moon
The correct answer will remain a mystery, but I wonder: if I don’t cook my frozen fish fillets quite long enough, is that like eating sushi?
This is the Great Giveaway Day (aka Hallowe’en), and our contribution is already off to the community centre. That’s why my meal priorities are odd. I would have preferred to be an official taster for tiny chocolate bars, but instead had to dig into the freezer for my supper. See the above question. Now I’m waiting for the next big moment of the year (where the clocks all have to be reset). In the case of a power outage, only the models that depend on electricity get to experience time shifting. Tonight, however, the bird in a box will also require manipulation. And, in surfeit, we’re celebrating a Blue Moon.
I’m still dealing with the discomfort of a kidney stone (renal calculi, because I know there are more than a couple in the queue) that is improperly parked. I wish I could call a tow truck. Instead, I’m faced with (days? Weeks?) of wondering how much longer. To see me walk, you’d think I was an old man. Disclaimer: I am, but it’s not something I like to put on display. For now, I’ll remain seated.
Hey! People, in costume, at my door. Leaving the light extinguished and the dog on a short lead wasn’t enough to discourage the wanderers (who came by parental taxi). I clearly explained that we had centralized our efforts, and they left without protest. Did they imagine that we’d keep the “good stuff” here, just in case?
