Because I spent the entire day doing office-y organizational things in my pajamas that I don't actually sleep in but I put on to go use the bathroom without giving anyone too big of a thrill. There was no reason to get dressed today, but I wish I'd gotten more done. I've been feeling highly kick-ass lately and I blame my new shiny oatmeal recipe, which is only for those with time in the morning. I will write it up ala Irma Rombauer
In a pot, combine
3/4 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup milk
3/4 cup water
1 smidge salt
and cook it, stirring so it doesn't burn
put
a handful of almonds
on a pan in the toaster oven and toast at medium. go back to stirring.
when the almonds are done, dump them out onto a cutting board and use a sharp knife to chop them into little bits. Your oatmeal should be getting near done. Add
a spoonful of raspberry jam
to your cooking oatmeal and stir so it gets all mixed in.
Put the oatmeal in your bowl and wash the pan before you even eat it. Otherwise you will regret you even made oatmeal. Go back to your bowl and add the chopped almonds and stir them in.
This is probably more of a pain in the ass than most people I know would bother with on a daily basis but for me it's comforting, and it makes me feel vaguely like I'm MFK Fischer or one of those other great American food writers (my food is all set, I just need to work on the writing now).
My goal for the day is to make a bunch of massage-appropriate CDs for work and also to write up a bio for my new job, something like:
"Andrew brings a background in energy work to his practice at the Therapy Center, and offers a blend of relaxation, deep tissue, and athletic work to a broad clientele. Andrew is also a musician and appreciates the needs of clients who play instruments, use computers, and engage in other forms of repetitive motions. He tailors his sessions to the client's specific needs and goals. Andrew is available for appointments on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays."
Only, you know. About me.
