random thoughts – Day 1,862 – (Tuesday) – work, eggs, dance

Matzo brie for lunch.

It was a butt in chair at the desk all day kind of day. There was a resume workshop scheduled for those of us who will be departing the bank soon. There were short notice ads and a delivery to the printer for the other project of the past few weeks.

Lunch was matzo brie, a scrambled egg delicacy introduced to me by X1 and his family and made possible by the display of Manischewitz matzo crackers at Market Basket the other day. Oh, matzo brie, how I love you, with your broken crackers sautéed in a fry pan with butter, with scrambled eggs poured in and stirred while it cooked. Delicious. 

Suddenly, it was 5:04, which I noticed almost by accident as I was finishing sending out an ad. I really needed to be logged out, grabbing my bag for dance practice, and hitting the road.

But first, I needed gas, because I neglected to get some on Saturday when I was out in the world, and then again on Monday on the way home from downtown. As I dashed out the door, clad in a rarely-worn heavy pullover sweatshirt, I discovered it was 75 degrees and sunny. This is information I would have known back in the days of having dogs, because I would have been outside with them several times during the day. I would have tidied up flower beds. Walked the yard. Followed the dogs.  Known many details about the weather. Without the dogs, I rarely go outside.

Without a zipper for temperature control, it was hot in the sweatshirt and then I remembered why I usually don’t wear it. It provided an opportunity to check out the A/C in the car. It works.  

Dance was good. We are preparing for a show in mid-June, so there was discussion about who is in which dance. We stretched, broke down some moves in some of the dances, and then we splintered off into groups to review the dances. Very productive.
