ho-hum

Alexander is back at school.

I am afraid to leave my house for fear of spending money.

I sit in front of my computer wondering who I can contact, yet again, for employment.  I think of one person and write to her.

I clean, and re-clean, my apartment.

I do not walk.  It is raining outside, though of course if it were sunny I’d have another excuse.

I eat little, at least compared to previous days.  After a big dinner last night (Atlantic Grill with Valerie and Abbey), my baggy lululemon pants do not feel baggy today.

I compare health care plans with my brother-in-law, as this came up at dinner last night.  I am paying 43% more than his corporate plan and I get fewer benefits and have a higher co-pay.

I play many games of Words With Friends as my program is not crashing today.  I get 89 points for a 7-letter word, UPENDED.  Thrilling.

I make a dinner using what is in the house:  quinoa and brown rice with sautéed vegetables of bright colored peppers, onions, and mushrooms.  It is more than passable.

My gorgeous ball fan/light from The Fan Company broke after eight months use; its replacement arrives today.  I have been without living room light for over two weeks, so this is the most exciting part of my day (even though it is not up yet; that’s something Mike, my handyman, has to do, and who knows when he’ll be available).

In short, I have little to write about today.
