Wednesday Anxiety
I had a lovely evening last night....got home from work to find Leo done with one hour of his hard labor (weeding) and Owen finishing up mowing the front yard. I got Ernie to help me plant my window boxes and I'm rather pleased with them. They won't look like much for awhile but I like the colors (Ernie's reommendation....I had a different idea but I think he was totally right). I talked to my sister Debbie for awhile and roasted some chicken with green olives, lemon wedges, lots of garlic and fresh oregano. Then I pulled it all out of the roasting pan and dumped in some tiny asparagus with lots more fresh oregano. I roasted it a little too long but it made parts of the asparagus kind of crispy...so it was delightful. I happily downed a Unisom that I had begged Ernie to buy after a run of sleepless nights....only to look at it suspiciously and find that it was an IMPOSTER. It was 'natural nights' unisom. Melatonin and vitamin B6. Hmmmm. When I want a 'sleep aid' I want it totally UNNATURAL. Hmph. Oh well....did sleep a little better.
So I woke up today, went to my underwear drawer and found part of a Lego tree wrapped in the underwear I grabbed. It makes you wonder. Now I am sitting here frozen with anxiety over not having enough people for Friday night's house concert, cleaning enough for Friday night, various work things I need to do (none of which should be inducing said anxiety), the shirt I'm wearing, the amount of grey in my hair and other random issues. As much as I miss my mother....this is the part of her I could have skipped inheriting.
Deep breaths.
O.k.
Here's my dinner from last night...note there are no pictures of the completed dishes....we were too hungry.
