I stopped cooking.

Tonight, I will cook a pot of soup.
I hope it turns out.

Carlyle's a cool cat

The following quote was brought to my attention, following this past Sunday's posting:

"I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom." - Thomas Carlyle

on exhaustion

This morning, I woke up, and talked with Shananana, who spent the night while working in Provo for the weekend. (Take that, Ella!  I get 'er now!  That's whatcha get for moving SLCwards :-P phbbbbbt.)  Apparently the fight to desmellify my home apt is working.  Yes!

And then I went back to sleep.

I read a chapter or so from the E-Myth revisited. And then I went back to sleep.

I went to the grocery store to purchase (I kid you not, this is what I plan to eat, today): eggs, julienned ham, a red baron pizza (holla, Megasaurus!), and two pints of fancy fancy ice cream (Ben & Jerry's errrrhm some cookie dough/brownie mixture and some fancy french pot small batch black raspberry choco chip concotion.)

And then I went back to sleep.

Checked Post Secret, ate some fancy black rasp ice cream, read some of Pullman's The Subtle Knife (thank you PioBook!) and through all the computer/ice cream/readingness cuddled with my kittie while making myself as small as possible in my rocking twisting soft old granny chair of glory (color:camel.  Swear I'll paint it one day, just watch!)

Oh, and then I went back to sleep.

Read more of Pullman's s The Subtle Knife (thank you PioBook!), answered the phone when Drew called to say he was out of church but still had (more) meetings (to follow the three hours of meetings before church, three hours of meetings that comprise church, and then hour or so of meetings after church.)  Ate some of the unnamed Ben & Jerry's.  Dropped said ice cream on the floor while reading Eliza & Christman's mormon mission blogs.  Cat jumps scaredily (scared-a-lily?) out of my lap, faster than ever before.  Parentfolks call.

And, this time, I didn't go back to sleep.  Although, I did put away the ice cream and preheat the oven for aforementioned Red Baron (holla, Megasaurus!) pizza.

greetings, Day.
you tire me

Boys and Girls Club



Nobody can replace a parent.
I am not babysitting kids, or working as a pseudo parent.

I work with good kids, who have good parents.
My roles are ones of mentor, life-skills coach and academic tutor.

At least, that's how I understand things, thus far.
