Pajama Day

 

I declared today a pajama day so not much of note got accomplished.  I got the slow cooker fired up this morning with chicken tikka masala and forgot to take its picture.  Of. Course.  *sigh*  So you get a picture of the last time I made it.  It's tasty and the house smells great.


 


Last week when a cardinal landed on the platform feeder I wondered how it landed without hitting its head.  Well, today this mourning dove got itself into the platform feeder and I couldn't figure out how it managed it but manage it the bird did.  It even turned around in there and never bonked its head.  I thought it looked like a battleship in a parking garage.



This evening at 6:00 I got to go to Friday Night Knitting--on Zoom.  It was so good to see their faces and hear my friends' voices.  I suspected that I'd get more knitting done with them around and I did.  I added a good 3" to the Baktus scarf.  The bad news is that the red/pink variegated yarn got to a black section and it was hard to differentiate which yarn I was working with so at least once I neglected to increase a stitch.  I'm not going back to fix it.  No one will notice unless I point it out.


24 April--Just peachy.  

How are you? they ask.
I'm fine, I say,
just peachy.
Do they know it's a lie?
If I had to pick a color
to describe how I feel
I'd pick beige.
Peach is warm,
peach is happy.
Beige is neutral.
I'm going along
in neutral.
Stuck at home.
Stuck in neutral.
How am I?
Beige.

Don't worry, that is not how I'm feeling, at least not most of the time.  Sometimes, yeah, but mostly I'm just fine, happy even.  Tomorrow morning I get to Zoom with my kids and grandkids.  I can't wait.
