an adequate diurnal unit
Jan. 17th, 2006 11:19 pmtoday has been, of all things, a good day. low on spoons, as always, but filled with encouraging things, like depositing checks, and being able to pick up my prescriptions and buy the fresh thyme i needed to convert a lot of aging carrots and a less-than-sprightly sweet potato into carrot and leek soup with thyme.
why, yes, yes indeed, i am in fact trying a new recipe for the first time in months. furthermore, i am listening to music while i do it. it's been two or three years since i really listened to music at home, but tonight i've been enjoying a flashback to January 1988 courtesy of Boston, Satriani, and Shriekback. (what ever happened to Entropy anyway? the Shriekback is his fault.)
i even did a load of dishes. also, i am smiling. that might be a result of the increase in my lithium dosage, or it might just be the $3/bottle local Pinot Grigio. because goddammit, i can't make a new recipe without wine. i mean, how would i deglaze?
anyway, right this minute, for whatever reason, i'm feeling quite a bit better. who knows if it'll last, but i'll take what i can get.
must go. time to puree the carrots and sauté the leeks and garlic. by the time i'm 39, i should have achieved soup.
P.S. for my birthday i want to get so stoned i completely lose motor control. i don't expect to actually achieve this goal, but as Robert Browning said, "A man's reach should exceed his grasp, or what's heaven for?"
