Some days it gets real disappointing.
Somewhat trivial in the way of things, I guess, but two things, on top of all that I've been through, have suddenly made me feel quite fragile.
1. The roast pork I was going to pop in the turbo broiler? The cook got to it first and forgot to ask if she could use it. So while the end product tasted fine, it wasn't quite what I wanted to do with it. The kicker: she did the very same thing that time she left on her day off that she wanted to extend into a week off. So sort of...strike two?
2. The corn on the cob, my favorite thing, disappeared off the table after dinner. Mama gave the last two cobs to the maids for their dessert. *sigh* She said I should have set it aside, and I would have if I'd known it was in danger of being given away while I made a dash to the washroom. She never did that before. And to think I was so looking forward to having them when Ramon messaged me as I was on my way home from Gaisano.
*shrug* Ah, well, that's life! There's four more ears of corn that can be cooked for breakfast tomorrow. And in a fit of hormonal-influenced restlessness, I did an inventory of the main freezer and found bits and pieces of meat that are now defrosting in the fridge. Plus a kilo of ground beef from a month? two months? ago. Tomorrow I will pop them into the slow cooker and make a stew, I suppose.
So yeah. Irrational venting. Now I have a yearning to watch something utterly mushy so that I can cry at the ending...catharsis and all that. Or see if "The Incredible Journey" is available as an e-book. You want to see me turn into a waterworks? Give me the ending of that story to read. It never fails.
Life's been good today, overall, and I am grateful.
