Brighter

Feeling slightly brighter as the week goes on. The other night Ernie picked me up from work and said dinner was started, Owen had already done his homework and both boys were happy.....so could he take me out for a drink? I acquiesced and it was lovely sitting and talking with him. Eventually we dragged ourselves out the door. On the way home we got a text from Owen saying, "Are you guys EVER coming home?" I texted back, "No, and don't forget to pay the mortgage." He wasn't terribly amused but I was. Then Ernie played the Meat Puppets 'I Quit" really loudly. I turned it up even more and we sang along until we turned into our icy little alley.

We blew off our planned dinner and made our standard don't-feel-like-cooking-but-don't-want-to-order-out frittata. It was a good one....a bit of andouille, a bunch of leeks, some kale, leftover yellow rice and a bit of cheese on top.
