Greetings from the couch, and may I never again leave its friendly embrace

I'm starting to get the feeling that evening is not the time to be posting stuff. Even after a profoundly non-mentally-taxing day like today, the thought of sticking words into sentences into paragraphs into anything remotely coherent makes my brain twitch like the weird Jello wad that it is. But since I'm here, let's see what happens.

I think I went just a tad over the line at the gym this morning. Tired and sore are normal, but this was tired and sore and...something else, like I sprained my ghost a bit. Didn't affect the rest of the day for the most part, except for the bit when I was stapling a bunch of piles of card stock together, which is one of those activities that could kill you but the obituary would list it a homicide to spare your family the humiliation.

The office was ridiculously quiet, outside of illicit crossword construction, the aforementioned stapler fandango, and my laptop coughing up a lung when I was literally not even touching it. The company is going to be closed for the entirety of next week, so we're taking bets as to whether this week is going to be five days of Silence of the Power Ties or three days of silence followed by two days of shrieking Nordic epic deadline panic. Pray for me.

We made egg roll in a bowl for dinner. 'Twas tasty.

5 things for Sunday, none of which are current events 'cause I like my blood pressure where it is

1) Weekend temps tapped at the mid-'80s, which for this part of Maine is kind of weird. We only have one air conditioner put up right now, partly because we haven't needed more and partly because the living room window is directly below the drainpipe which means cramming towels behind the couch every time it rains. Pondering solutions before July hits.

2) Since The Godfather last week was such a success, last night we gave The Godfather Part II a test drive. Fun fact: if you accidentally start on disc 2, the movie is very confusing. "Who's the weird senator dude? Why is De Niro whispering at that old guy in Sicily and then gutting him like a lake trout? WHY DID YOU DO THAT TO FREDO??"

3) We're making an attempt to buy our food from farmshare and the farmers' market whenever possible, which meant a nice chicken pesto pappardelle last night and a gorgeous roast chicken today. I am so on board.

4) I have to go to the office tomorrow. I do not want to go to the office tomorrow.

5) The Great Pottery Throw Down is good for the soul.

Fond of rumpots, crackpots, and how are you, Mr. Wilson?
