Not posting lately.

Not that I don't want to but the Iran thing in the context of the Arab-Israeli Conflict has me using practically all my brain power on that. Poor readers -- those who commented on the last post got seventeen-page emails in response as I try to figure out where I stand in relation to all that's going on.

Took out the trash and actually mopped the living room floor for the first time since I ripped the carpet out. Figured a bad job mopping would be better than none at all. Turned on the gas heater in the living room since unlike last year gas costs less than electricity.

Cooking spaghetti. I avoid smoking by going out to buy things and avoid buying further clutter by buying food instead. I got tired of the whole "potato tacos/quesadillas only" thing so splurged and got some great spaghetti sauce on sale in nice glass jars I can reuse. It's dumb, I know. But that's my entertainment these days.

Haven't gotten out of my bathrobe all day. May go out later or may not. Don't really know just yet.
