Toast A friend has been diagnosed with pancreatice cancer. Prognosis imho? Toast. My toaster had barely been warming the English muffins. I reset it. This morning I'm eating burnt toast slathered with butter to soften it. I did not burn my coffee. 33° at 10 a.m. and weak sun. I'm going to try to get out. If only to pick up milk. I'm reading a 1975 paperback, The Kung Fu Avengers. Light reading is still reading imho. I'm withholding certain misgivings for the moment. 574 trinkets collected to date. Not too bad. I did offer some in February but I'll need to make new ones. 36 degrees at 1:23 p.m. and sunny. Saw two friends. Picked up milk. It's $7/2 2% gallons here. Le Petit is open inside... but not for sitting down. Very frustrating. Sun and clouds up to their usual games playing tag at 4:25 p.m.; still 36 degrees. Worked on a short story for children. At 560 words it's about right, but I need to expand and edit. Limit is 1,000. I really want to know what reading level it is. A couple words may need to be replaced by something simpler. So... three pieces almost ready for posting. Almost... Need to be careful about time and deadlines. Chicken-mushroom-parmesan on a bun. A bit 'goopy' so I may need to serve what remains over rice. Soup can be eaten after the expiration date. I have 7 'old' cans that expired in 2020. I'll be having cream of asparagus next. Some of the new soups expire in 2023. I have 31 cans of soup. That will hold me for awhile. Quill nominations (I glanced at them today): "Pink [262]" (medium length poem - free verse) fine "April 23: a poem that contains an argument [48]" (medium length poem - structured) needs an edit or something "Być Gwiazdą (To be a star) (297w) [35]" (flash fiction) needs an edit "Five Simple Steps [177.11] (298 words)" (flash fiction) may be okay "Porthole" (blog) no comment 3,755 |
