August 16th, 2000: what's it got in its cupboardses?
Or: "Kris, you're sick. Are you positive you should be playing with the hot stove?"How To Make a Really Icky Casserole:
- Discover that you're hungry.
- Take the cold medicine that makes you kind of dizzy.
- Decide, Hey. I could make a casserole.
- Start pulling things out of the cupboards. Let's see...macaroni. cheddar cheese soup. canned chicken...artichoke hearts!
- Locate broccoli and green onions. put macaroni on to boil.
- Decide to make custard. Make custard.
- Hum around the kitchen, half-staggering. La la la...oh, look, custard!
- Mix mix mix. Macarony's done! Drain macaroni. mix glop together with macaroni.
- pop dish in oven. bake at 350 for half an hour...or however long it takes you to clean up your delerium-induced mess.
- pull casserole out of oven. Let sit for as long as it takes to cue up another Xena episode.
- Dish up some. Say, "God, this sucks." Eat some. Salt and pepper. Eat some more. Finish the bowl. Go back and fish out the artichoke hearts. Trash the rest, calling it inedible.
- Go write a journal entry and go back to bed.
So, yeah, i have a cold.NyQuil is, again, my friend.
This always happens when I have time off. It's my body telling me I MUST REST.
So, yeah, i'm no longer working at my old job. Got laid off......and I have a new job, with a large company. Call it...Company X. It's a good job. I get an office with a window. I get good benefits.
And I get a week off.
Which I use to have my annual summer cold.
And if you'll excuse me, i'm going to go make good friends with a dose of cold medicine and take myself off to sleep now.
