Yesterday and today

Adrenaline rush: filling up a shopping cart at Trader Joe's, getting to the checkout, reaching in my pocket for the wallet-substitute with all the plastic in it... and it not being there. Went out to the car, to double-check the bag, but no dice. I went back in and got under $15 of groceries (what I had in cash), and drove home carefully (knowing now that I had no license), and frantically looked where I put it during Shabbat. No dice. Checked the rain coat I wore Sunday... ah, there it is! Foolishly didn't put it back in the right place. Much calmer :-)
Accomplishment: getting the apartment cleaned up. Well, except for my bedroom, which looks worse than ever. But the rest of the apartment is in pretty good shape, a lot of things away that haven't been in a while, so a touch less clutter in certain areas (possibly perceivable only by me :-), enough to give a sense of getting ahead just a bit, rather than just trying to keep up.
New food: Trader Joe's "pinjur," described as a "traditional Macedonian recipe made with roasted peppers & eggplant." It's pretty good, lightly spicy, made out of ingredients I recognize (and it's vegan).
Phrases: lunar rainbow, and solar ear plugs.
Today's -
Celebration: According to Google's logo, it is Michaelangelo's birthday today. Happy birthday!
Good news: a long-distance friend is going to be visiting soon :-)
