A Day Without Ambition
Dec. 9th, 2009 09:51 pmThe snow got me an unexpectedly free day today, and it was a much better, much easier day than yesterday.
I started off promising myself a day to be lazy, and I'm not sure it happened. My lazy day somehow resulted in split pea soup, and there are uncooked bagels in the fridge, to be boiled and baked tomorrow (when the gravlax I've been curing should be ready to eat). Hotspur napped at all the convenient times - once in the morning, when I started the sponge for bagels, chopped vegetables and picked over the split peas; and once in the afternoon, when I needed to pay attention to the soup and shape and proof dough. In my corner of the multi-verse, stir crazy involves a lot of food.
Danger Lad! went to bed early (he didn't nap at daycare), and
danceboy wasn't all that far behind him. At eight, I put Hotspur in my lap so I could surf with one hand and give her a bottle with the other, and fifteen minutes later she was snoozing like a baby angel.
I have disassembled the "Free to Good Home" box, and I do believe we'll be keeping Hotspur after all.
