Keyboard and Cooking Adventures

It was one those mornings where getting up felt like an extremely difficult chore. Jpeg woke me up around 9am, as usual, and I proceeded to ignore him for as long as I could...as usual. The result was getting up at 10:30-11am, and dragging my butt downstairs.

As I settled down to make my dad and myself some eggs, .Jpeg went and hopped in the Elf Family's box, contented to sit in Mercy's fruits basket.




Immediately after breakfast I started planning lunch, as I had nothing else to do and Mom and Joelle were going to be oot and aboot for a while (later to be learned: 6pm). After poking around with this blog layout for a while, I made a "cooked-in-a-pan" roast beef and cheese sandwich + tomato soup for my dad, and myself had a ham and cheese "grilled" whatever sandwich.




I fulfilled my goal to cook something today, and actually ended up cooking three meals. Tonight I made my Dad an egg and ham sandwich--so my "cooking" skills are not skillz-with-a-z. So what. It's edible, it works!

And then came the keyboard...as many of you know, I have a slight keyboard cleanliness obsession. This little issue of mine is made all the worse when it comes to having a black keyboard, a saint bernard, a shih tzu and a cat.

I refrained, oh did I refrain! from popping the keys off my keyboard as I did not feel like calling Dell for the 6-7th time in the last year, and the 2nd time for a keyboard. But lo and behold, in my attempts to compromise at yanking numerous (numerous) dust bunnies out of my poor precious' keys and "not popping" popping the keys up...*ping!* Yep. I half-popped the C off my keyboard. I proceeded to finish pulling it off because it was not going back on...and what ensued next was an attempting of putting the little plastic bouncy part of the key back together. Fortunately, an hour or so later, all was well, the key back in perfect working condition. I do not think Dell would amused had the story not ended well.



I had inspiration for how to write this earlier, but it is gone now. And was actually gone before I started this post.
