Y’all put me in such a good mood tonight (well, that and finding out I was into overtime before my shift started, which puts me into CHA-CHING! territory) that I fixed myself a decent amount of food and enjoyed a pic-a-nic dinner.
Someone upthread mentioned chicken cordon bleu and that put me in the mood, and I had some in the freezer. Not the “good” kind, pretty cheapo brand, but still filling and tasty.
I put on Monkey’s jingle-bell collar, and went outside to look at the big, bright full moon & Jupiter shining nearby, both so bright you could barely see any stars. Monkey was treated to a rare treat: nighttime outside time. He mostly stuck close by while I marveled at the moon, and snacked on garlic cloves & Triscuits while awaiting dinner.
Of course, dessert first (a tapioca cup) plus more Triscuits with cream cheese spread, plus some random slices of prosciutto that really needed to be eaten up.
It was lovely to sit outside in a sweater and silence, in moonlight so bright I could read by it, stretching my legs and filling my belly (two things I really need to do more!) and just enjoying the contentment.
That’s marvelous news!
Sitting in my driveway yelling, “Monkey! Monnnnnkeyyyyy!!” probably makes me look a bit nutz, too.
