I ruined supper tonight
I ruined supper tonight. I had this great plan about making beef, and rice, and you know, such. But it all went to shit. I used the raw sauce on the beef and now it tastes like cigarette smoke. And I guess I didn't know that rice is supposed to steam on low heat. Low. Not high. So I left it to steam on high, and 20 minutes later the fire alarm is going off and the entire main floor is thick with smoke. I took the rice outside, and put it on the wheelchair ramp. My mom said "why don't you just eat the rice off of the top?" No mom. It's burned. All of it. Yeah, and the beef's no good either.
So I caved. I ordered pizza. But didn't eat very much of it. Because just when I decided to blow two hours work on dinner, I realize that I've really lost my appetite. Gone.
But there's good things to my night. I got off of work an hour early (praise the work gods), and I watched the Canadian Idol results show, and Big Brother 4, which I've never seen before, and I'm now officially obsessed with. Now, I'm going to put my laundry away, throw in another load, talk to Marcus and go to bed. I need to work out to....sometime. Sometime soon. Times running out for me and my out of shape body. So I'll get on that. Em is home, which is good. And all in all (although I'm exhausted) it was a decent day. I can't believe that I only have a week and a half left.
Oh yeah...and what is up with our wheelchair ramp? So fine, disabled people can get into our house. But once you go into the door, there's a landing the size of my desk, and then stairs going up AND down? Stupid house designers.
