Apparently I missed a great soccer practice last night. It was just a bit too cool for me. Especially since it's about 10 degrees colder on the field than it is here most of the time. Plus I've been a tad bit depressed lately and just couldn't muster the interest. So instead I stayed home and cooked a meal. Oven barbecued chicken breasts, rice, and a veg. And I made a pot of fluffy tapioca for dessert. I thought it would go well with an "edge of your seat" episode of LOST. Unfortunately it was a repeat and not a very good one. Yes, you read right. A bad episode does come along occasionally.
I went to bed early and tried to read Middlesex by Jeffrey Eugenides. Wasn't happening. It's a pretty interesting read if you can get the family tree somewhat straight but last night I just didn't have it in me. I'm on page 259, just shy of the halfway point. Book club meets in a week to discuss. If I don't get out of this funk I'll never finish in time.
I've been spending copious amounts of time in the garden. Hopefully the massive dip in temperature last night didn't do any harm to my little seedlings. I should have put the melons and peppers in the cold frame last night but didn't think about it until it was too late. Great weather for my peas and cabbage though. I jumped the gun quite a bit this year and started a ton of stuff. I had to. I couldn't resist the siren song of the soil. The constant nagging of the pile of horse poo. I had to get the garden underway. I needed life to spring up before my eyes. So far everything has cooperated except for an old pack of spinach seeds and some saved delicata seeds. Still waiting for the weather to stabilize somewhat before I throw in the cucumbers, etc. I'm building a bamboo trellis for them. That project will be documented at Square Peg Mama as soon as I load the camera software onto this computer.
Time to wrap this up. It's Wednesday which means I will be meeting my writing buddy and fellow blogger at Colony Coffee. She's doing Script Frenzy. I'm still working on my Nanowrimo novel. I don't think I'll ever finish it. It keeps changing on me!
