Day 27!

Today has been a decently productive one in terms of my apartment. Kitchen and bathroom have both been thoroughly scrubbed. The laundry, complete with 100 year dryer, is in the works. I took a nap, haha.

Now I am happily pursuing cookbooks with wine while dinner cooks.

Carla Hall's Cooking with Love and Diana Rodger's Paleo Lunches and Breakfasts On the Go.

Hoping to choose some recipes to shop for next week and try more culinary experiments. :) This week is leftover crock pot meals and cutie salads.

I am happy to be sitting down to watch The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones once dinner is ready. I've heard mixed reviews but I'm almost done the last book that's out (except the Magnus Bane short stories), so I'm going to check it out.

My only negatives: it's bloody snowing and the lady bug, my constant companion, appears to be having friends over. They're harmless, just visually distracting. I can't kill them; they're very cute.

Day 14!

So today I was rather domestic and just took the time to do things like cook a lot and grocery shop. It's nice to know that literally I have breakfast and lunch made up for EVERY DAY this week and I don't have to worry about it. It's the little things.

Also, aren't my salads adorable? They make me happy.

Mason jar chicken Caesar salads! :)

I also spent the morning finishing City of Fallen Angels and can I just say, is it May already? How am I going to wait THREE MONTHS for the final book? I read the first five in TWO WEEKS. I'm having book feels and one of my ships has sunk and I just need it to be okay and I just need the book, okay?

In brighter book news, I have used my free trial of Amazon Prime to ensure that my lovely new Mercy Thompson book arrives on my doorstep on publication day Tuesday. Not like I had to wait two years or anything. I'm just glad I could order it online, especially after I'd driven to the city to find publication was a week later than the girl had told me so I drove home book less.

So, other than reading and cooking, my day was rather pleasant and I'm good with that. :)
