Thanks for the fish

of my cranberry apple chutney that I’m giving away for Xmas. Even broke out that scariest of all kitchen appliances…the pressure canner! Yeah, it scares the shit out of me. That’s why I’m here in the office instead of in the kitchen watching it hiss and spit and spew water and steam everywhere. that thing could easily take out an eye or a head, or a large limb. And honestly, once you get through all the hoo ha, it basically takes as long as doing it the old fashioned way. I should have just boiled them for half an hour. Oh well… whatever. I’m sampling the chutney on wheat crackers with sharp cheddar cheese. yum! I’ve spent the entire night on this, but it’s actually been good to be occupied. lately I just mope around all night and wait for bedtime. So it’s nice to have a goal.

Well, for better or worse, I should have a new job soon. Money money money! Time time time! What will I do with it all? Will I use it for good? Or evil? Only time will tell? Will I take naps and get schnockered all day like J thinks? Or will I write the Great American Novel? Well, it’s all kind of exciting. But sad at the same time. The thing with my job is that I love two of the people I work with and it’s not a drag at all to be at work, and I know that’s really rare. And I’ll miss the hell out of them, and hopefully will continue to see them on a social basis. But, I have the chance of a lifetime, to get paid big bucks for not too many hours of work and have time to devote to my dreams and goals. I may never get this chance again, so it’s worth a shot anyway. I know, I know… you make a decision and then you justify it.

Time to clean up for the cleaning lady! I love every other wednesdays!
