Let’s Kick Monday off with Randomness

I’ve been quiet. I know. I’ve been quiet in reaching my goals for the past week, too. Transitioning back after the holiday has been harder than any transition I can remember in recent years. Productivity has not been something that has been my friend lately. That needs to change.

I’m working at my kitchen island today, hoping it does. I find that a change of scenery is important to me. I get in a funk if I work from one spot for too long. Some of the most productive work days I can remember took place in diners, the back corner at Panera, a nook at Barnes & Noble. My speaking career was launched from a small table next to the bathroom in a local coffee shop. Variety: the spice of life.

I did manage to inventory our seed supply and place an order yesterday. Seed prices have risen more than food prices; I’m rather certain of it. I had much of what I will need for this season, but I still managed to come away with a considerably lighter pocketbook.

I’m geekily excited about a new variety of tomato I discovered. If the pictures and descriptions are accurate it is the mother of all tomatoes; beautifully imperfect with impeccable taste. Fingers crossed for heavy yields.

I’m struggling with this sugar free 2012 stuff. It’s not the sugar. I’m free of that little devil’s grasp. I think it’s that I fully expected this to be a much bigger challenge than it has been. Which means my must-have-a-challenge complex is having a fit over this. I got sugar free. It’s done. It was easy. Now what? “Next!!!!” she screams. I’m not good at coasting.

I’m also not good at dealing with the illusionment of the general population. (And yes, I did just make up the word illusionment.) I define it as the opposite of being disillusioned. Being illusioned, I suppose. Lack of common sense. General stupidity. A full-fledged disregard for facts. Blind subscription to assholery. I really just have little patience for it these days. And by little, I mean none.

Look, we’re all screwed. That’s all there is to it. And with that I think I should probably wrap this up before I tell you to quit talking about wasting food and the starving people in Africa. Bitch, please. People are starving because of greed, money, power and control. It has nothing to do with the amount of food available to the world. Whoops! There I went.
