Friday

Zara's emergency pate food arrived from Amazon, and yep, she ate most of it. I'm glad that I can understand what she's "saying". Mimi promptly started eating the leftovers, and I took them away from her. Like herding cats :)

I found a cookbook on how to make Indian food in a slow cooker, so I'm thinking about getting it. And I'm eyeing rice cookers on Mercari. Damn, that food was good last night. And I found an Indian grocery in Springfield, and it even is in a convenient spot. Champaign has a couple of them. I also found an "easy" Indian cookbook with recipes for Butter Chicken and Palak Paneer. Must buy.

Took a nap and slept through until morning.

Odds and Ends

Woke up at 9:30 AM. Started laundry and fed the girls.

I want to watch Heartstopper, which is a sweet queer teen love story on Netflix. It sure beats shock jocks making nasty comments on the radio, which was what we had when I was a teen. It's a much better world.

Had a nice nap with Zara. She snuggled up to me for a few minutes when I woke up. Awww.

It turned out that a new rice cooker with Amazon Prime shipping is the same price as a used one with shipping on Mercari, so I bought a new one on Amazon. It also steams vegetables while you cook rice. And I got the Indian cookbooks. Tasty food awaits!

I'm thinking of not going to Springfield tomorrow because of my IBS flare-up. (I'm wondering if it's misdiagnosed Crohn's because I get sore spots when I have a flare-up?) So I'll stay home today and run errands tomorrow.

I got my Miami book. Yay. And mower guy is here. Got library books ready for return tomorrow. Started tackling the kitchen. I ordered my new swimsuit so that I can swim at the local pool this summer. Got a bag of papers ready to go out in the garbage.

Mimi was making a big production about her dry food dish being empty. I got up to find that it was half-full. I filled it anyway, rolling my eyes. Apparently, fresh food is better.

Showered and shaved my legs. Threw on a t-shirt and shorts. I'm feeling clean and relaxed. Worked on the kitchen some more.

I found a mother load of recipes that I need to put in a notebook. I think that I'll work on them while I watch TV or a movie. Cleared off the chest freezer enough to get into it. I have flounder and pollock, but no cod. And a gazillion frozen chicken breasts, so I need to make a lot of Chicken Tikka Masala and Butter Chicken once I get the sauces. I'll make a grocery list for the cod. I think that I'll make Garlic-Parmesan Flounder instead because I think that I have all the ingredients. (I need to doublecheck that I have garlic.) I'll put the flounder into the fridge to defrost.

Oh crud, it's gotten late. I need to eat before my call with Mom.

Mom is still not doing well. She's dizzy and food is going right through her. She's walking a little better though.

I have stuff to do, but can't stop yawning, so maybe I should just go to bed and get up early.
