Today has been a mildly successful day in that all of my very low, easily reached goals were easily reached! I woke up (too early but that's how things are nowadays) and did my weekly cleaning, which included vacuuming. I took a walk and it was GORGEOUS outside and I saw a woodchuck, a bird trilling its heart out, a dog running besides a guy on rollerblades, and approximately 128 butterflies. I've done two loads of laundry and, shockers of shockers, busted out the ironing board for some ironing. (I think I actually iron things about three times a year because ironing just seems so pointless to me. It's the same with dusting. Dust never goes away, I should just let it live its happy life on all my horizontal surfaces.)
(And now that I think about it, the same thought process could be applied to vacuuming so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about.)
I cooked an actual meal today, which wasn't too successful. I've been trying for awhile to find the perfect measures of ingredients for a meal that I'm sure has an actual meal name but I can't be bothered to look up online. It's essentially cheese tortellini, mushrooms, water, some marsala cooking wine, and a roux to make the marsala cooking wine act like an actual sauce. Either I put in too much of the wine or not enough. Tonight was one of those not enough nights and I get to look forward to eating the bland leftovers during lunch tomorrow. But! I bought a pineapple yesterday so I get to slice it up tonight and eat some and that somehow balances out the bland tortellini in my mind.
The rest of the day has been spent watching videos by the VlogBrothers and going eeeerghphewarbleWHYWHYWHYblehughwah. Every time I think that maybe I'm a halfway decent communicator and could possibly have a personality that others might like, I find approximately 1888390090920 other people on the internet that are personable and charming and smart and hilarious. Then I found out that John Green is the same John Green who co-wrote Will Grayson, Will Grayson and sometimes I really wish I had the talent that some people seem to have in their pinkies. WORLD, WHY CAN'T I HAVE JUST A LITTLE PINKIE TALENT? If I could choose the type of talent, I would definitely choose humor because people who can make other people laugh are just amazing. And then I read things like this:
And I think that maybe I can do it someday.
