ragdoll13I'm tired and stressed out, but there's little better pleasure in the world than cooking a steak, dressing a salad, changing into your pajamas and watching one of your favorite television shows while chowing down on the bed with your kitties.
My room has become a haven, a little nest containing just about every non-culinary thing I need to live my life. It's big enough I can hang out without feeling boxed in, full of light colors and my two little pothos and sunlight streaming in in the evening.
I've been spending a lot of time at Uisce lately. Not drinking, I just pop in for a soda after work. The truth is, it's comforting to be around people who like me but don't really know me all that well. To sit and drink my diet coke and chat with whoever's behind the bar. Molly and the boys are good to me. Welcoming and kind. Soothing, but not preachy.
Now that I've started losing weight, my attention span is waning. I feel bored and annoyed with the diet, which is ridiculous. It's not a culinary boredom... it's just that it was such a big deal, such a project, and now I've done it and I know it'll work, and there's nothing else to hold my interest. This is where the hard work starts.
