keep it together

bus2
it is too hot today.
my apartment doesn't have AC and i'm upstairs.
imagine the fun!
plus i had to ride my bike home in this heat, while wearing jeans and boots.
and then i had to do two loads of laundry.
PLUS i should be cleaning my house!
i am kind of working on it.
had to get up by 4AM the past two days and tomorrow, the same.
but it's nice to get off early, but then it's hotter than the dickens (hi i am a grandma) and i have household chores to do...

it's okay! i'm still happy as a lark.

heirloom mater

this is what i call a 'real tomato'
it grew on a farm, ripened on a vine, was hand picked and brought to sell at the farmer's market right down the road from where it was grown.
YES! the only thing better is growing it yourself.

cat in the hat
this picture is painted on the store window of my NEW PLACE of EMPLOYMENT!!!!!
woohoo! yay!

lunch
i am very lucky, kind of. this job market is crazy!
the time and annoying effort i put into my resume and cover letter (and i applied at like fifty places over the past two months) got me lots of interviews. most of the places where i interviewed had stacks of applications, some receive at least twenty per day. the place that just hired me said they could easily interview twenty people tomorrow for this same job. whew! tough!

anyway, i am flattered to have been chosen and very grateful and will now proceed to make the best of it. my attitude is "how may i help you?"

pastrami
i am obsessed with mustard and sour things because i am a sourpuss.
i love sauerkraut and pickles and pickled peppers. i squeezed pickled pepper juice on this sandwich and also stuffed it with pepperoncini. mmmmmm. the meat was pastrami.
NO shredded iceberg sorry and thank you very much.
i'd take spinach leaves or sprouts or leafy green lettuce if they'd had that.
i'm glad subway has spinach leaves. they've got THAT goin' for 'em.
