where our wasted time becomes your wasted time
They’re done, with only days to spare. Way to go, Lloyd! I have no picture of it actually taking place, but Lloyd said, “Just use any ol’ picture of me sitting at the computer.” Ok, how ’bout a montage?
That’s all.  Safe travels to Amsterdam, Brad. Don’t die, and don’t have any fun, either.
Â
I got nothing. We spent most of our day sleeping (Lloyd with the help of medication, me with the help of natural laziness).  The Ham Fairy came by during our nap, which was a nice surprise. (Friday’s Soup Fairy must have been in cahoots with her.)Â
Happy Monday. Â
Happy Easter! The Lord is Risen, He is Risen indeed!
I’m pleased to report that Lloyd spent more of his time awake today than yesterday, but you can see by the photo that he’s not %100. The hat is because he has stupidly picked the coldest corner in our house to sleep. He was awake for a fair amount of the afternoon, so we worked on a little ‘Easter Egg’ on our webpage. Can you find it? Brad, can you find it?
I’m just kidding. I actually like being home with no demands on my time. It suits my inner hermit.  Lloyd has spent most of his time unconscious, due to the active ingredient in his medicine that causes ‘marked drowsiness’. Here’s my favorite picture – I took his book out of his hand, but his hand stayed in this postion for half an hour:
I spent my day eating Zicam tablets like they were Tic-Tacs (the candy, not the cat), and working on taking down the rest of that stupid border. Remember back when I said it would be done by Easter? That was a joke, but it looks like I might not make that ridiculously long deadline.  Cricket’s been a big help, though.
My plan is to paint a tan-ish border where the old border was, then paint some words on it. I’m a big fan of words on walls. I’ll take any great quote suggestions, though I can’t promise to use them. Ideas?
Yes, we are both out of school tomorrow! The weekend was fraught with promise! Would we have a zany adventure where we went to the airport with just a backpack of clean clothes and pick a random destination? Would we go on a crazy window-shopping spree? Or maybe just drive around Nebraska and take pictures of our rural state?Â
None of the above. I love Lloyd, I really do, but he has the uncanny ability to get sick almost every time we have a long weekend. Today was no exception. I’m not mad……. oh, who am I kidding? I’m always mad.Â
Here’s the arsenal so perhaps we can do something Saturday.Â
(At least the lasagna was good.)
After each having a pretty bad day, Lloyd and I pigged out on lasagna made in the ultra-cool Baker’s Edge pan. The noodles fit just right – after snapping off about two inches from each end. This recipe uses the ‘no-boil-um-first’ method, which didn’t work well the first time I made it back in ought-one. This time it was much better. It turns out that you don’t need to worry about turning the corners – they just expand during cooking and fill up the space.
All in all, a good dinner. Here’s to a better tomorrow! (It’s got to be better – leftover lasagna!)
