The SO just left for three days in Portland (roughly 280 miles away). Her Toyota Tacoma gets about 25 mpg, and my Jeep would get 20 mpg on that trip; so she took the Prius. I hope I have everything I need out of it!
Now… What sort of mischief can I and the cat get into while she’s gone? Muwahahahahaha!
A friend gave me a copy of the World War Z audio book. We loaded it into the stereo yesterday, and she’s going to listen to it on her drive down. I hope she likes it.
I usually use such times to eat anything I want/usually not allowed to eat. I order the big platter from the Colombian restaurant, the Hawaiian deep dish pizza with the extra ham and extra pineapple, the steak and blooming onion from Outback. lobster.
I then spend a day of misery as my bowels react to the amazing yummies.
Then it’s another day of green tea and heavy exercise to make up for the horrible mistreatment of my body.
by that time she’s usually back. Of course, I always forget about the ice cream I bought and left half-eaten int he freezer, so I still get in trouble, but it’s totally worth it.
Chefguy posted a recipe for lamb kebabs. She’s eten them when I’ve made them, but it turns out she doesn’t care for lamb. So that’s on the menu. Tonight I plan to invent the Spicy McHaggis Sandwich.
I recommend the Utopian Gaslight. Clean your living space, make a bunch of repairs, stock the fridge with a lot of healthy food and don’t say anything. The unspoken message will be that she’s the problem.
