What I Did Today

Ravioli punch hid for a long time

Busy, busy day. I’m exhaustedand hurting.

1) Woke up. Good start to the day.

2) Got up. Right away, Go me! The Energizer Bunny(tm), you bet.

3) Had a glazed doughnut for breakfast.

4) Showered again. There’s always time for cleanliness.

5) Dressed again and didn’t even go outside to the peoply world.

6)  Wrestled with finances again for a long time. The storm clouds gathered.

7) Did something. My mind’s mush from the day’s wrestling matches.

8) Started to pause and reflect. Realized I didn’t have time, so I stopped.

9) Looked for well over an hour looking for my ravioli punch. I had to take out all sorts of kitchen untensils out of the drawers and put them back. Hurt my pack from all this bending down and squatting and then getting up again.

10) Found my ravioli punch. It transpired that it was in the box with the pasta machine. I put the punch there because it was the most logical place for it to be. If there’s something like logic in the spirit world, tell it that I’m not happy with it.

11) Made ravioli. It’s a highly repetitive process that requires a fair amount of concentration. I also made ravioli sauce.

12) The ravioli turned out well, thank goodness.

13) Flour got all over me and the table.

14) Ate ravioli in minutes. Thank goodness, it was tasty.

15) Revised my ravioli recipe again. Although, I think it’s a keeper this time.

16) Briefly thought about estimating the total cost of ingredients and ravioli gizmos and the total time needed to get to the point where I am happy with my ravioli. However, my mind utterly recoiled at the thought. I’ll never again question the price of restaurant ravioli

17) Cleaned up a bit. Hooray, a native is cleaning up the rest of the mess.

18) I’m really in the mood for some murder mysteries.

Behave yourselves.

Misread Sign

While, in fast-food restaurant, I misread the following sign:

“Curly fries are friend magnets.”

I really thought for an instant that the sentence went as below.

“Curly fries are fried magnets.”

So that’s why I keep bumping into iron. On the plus side, I won’t need to take iron supplements. Oh, and people are strangely drawn to me.

Paul’s Awesome English Dictionary – Today’s Word: Puos

The world teems with people unsure of the plural form of puo.

This uncertainty dates back the Elizabethan Era.

Astoundingly enough, there’s no word that means more than one puo. It’s time to correct this oversight.

My Latch Hook

In my continual quest to find something that will me keep off the streets–where I’d only foment revolution–I’ve taken up latch hooking. This project will also help my manual dexterity and my eye coordination by building neural pathways. So my latch hook project is a win for every one.

I have decided to do Charlie Brown as I like his character very much and I also had a 26-year old kit for him.

Doing my bit to tame inflation, you betcha.

And here’s my progress after two days.

01/04/2024, Second day

I played Snoopy in 5th grade Santa Anita grammar’s school production of You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown.

Iggy piggy poo. (I ran out of things to say.)

My Day

My local library is smaller than this

Sometimes time gets away from me. I almost forgot to post!

Yesterday, I found out how difficult it was to find, buy, and take home a latch hook.

This morning, I discovered how hard it was to find where I put my latch hook.

I looked for hours for it, but to no avail.

I looked on line on Amazon, etc. and found nothing that could get to me in time.

While doing this, I dealt with a hacking or virus attack. This is why I wasn’t on the streets fighting crime.

Okay, I stopped a bank robbery, but that was only for a few minutes.

Hoorah! I found the latch hook. It was in the back of the car, in a flexible cooler with two ice packs.

Had lunch.

Went to a library arts-and-crafst get together. I learned to use my latch hook. I did! I did! I’m going to make a latch-hook rug of Charlie Brown.(tm)

I drove home in a horrible rain storm. Whew.

Made meatloaf for dinner.

Watched Seinfeld and two mysteries.

Checked to see if the Earth is still rotating in the right direction. It is.

Writing this blog and will go to sleep soon.

Good night.
