verbminxI'm so hungry, but there isn't really much to eat in the house... half-recipes. "I have the butter, but not the cheese. I have the noodles, but not the sauce." Etc. The perils of a fixed monthly income: a bare larder during the first and last week of every month. And I'm a big eater, and I hate not doing the shopping, because then essential things like lunch meat don't get bought, and inessential things like blueberry bagels do. At the moment I do not even have mac-and-cheese. Ramen, maybe.
I think I offended someone the other night, I think I implied that I was bored talking to them, which isn't the case... I'm often bored on the internet. (I replied "to alleviate boredom" when asked why I do something that I do a lot when I'm online, which is that I browse online shops.) It feels like it's getting more and more difficult to find interesting content lately. I like to know what's out there, what's available and where.
I had one of those weird moments earlier... when I was having my smug little alfresco breakfast the other day, I got an insect bite on my ankle, which I have been scratching as though it holds the secret to all existence. Scratch, scratch, scratch earlier this evening, and... why is my hand wet? My fingers came up covered with blood, just enough to feel bloody. I jumped up and cleaned the blood off my ankle, trying not to drip everywhere and feeling foolish. Kids, leave those insect bites alone! A news report today said that Deep Woods Off was the best mosquito repellent, but I prefer Skintastic, even though it makes the pad of my thumb swell up. MAYBE if I had been wearing repellent while slurping my coffee in the driveway at 8AM, I wouldn't have had blood dripping down my careless little leg this evening.
I feel unenthusiastic today. "Ever to confess that you are bored means that you have no inner resources."
