Oh...it's going to be one of THOSE days....

You know, those days you wake up in a fuzz and feel a little like you're floating between sleep and consciousness. That's where I am. Nothing really makes a lot of sense, but nothing seems crazy or out of the ordinary either. It's like a dream. I can't concentrate because I'm focusing too much on making sure my eyes stay open. It's a losing battle...

Driving back from the store at lunch today, listening to a story, I was sort of staring off into space because I was too tired to focus my eyes. Then I saw it. A horse, walking down the sidewalk on 84th Avenue. My jaw dropped...just in time to see that it was a gardener, carrying a giant tarp of lawn trimmings and branches. My eyes are playing tricks on me...this is an interesting tactic.

The sun started to come out as we continued down the hill. As we approached the overpass, I saw an airplane driving over it, right along side regular traffic. I rationalized that a semi must be transporting the plane to the airport. In reality, it was just three semi's and the sun was casting misleading shadows. My eyes are winning...

During some regular office banter, the local news was brought up. There was a search in the area for a body. I hadn't heard this story, but as I was being told the details, I started to get worried and stressed out, almost like I was being overwhelmed by guilt and fear of getting caught. Strange, since I don't remember committing any crime, let alone a crime involving the disposal of a body. It was a strange sensation and it can only mean one of two things. Either I am watching too much Dexter or my mind is now ganging up on me with my eyes. My battle just got harder...

So here I sit, on my lunch break, hoping to get through the day. I foresee an evening nap on the couch in my future, my life is just that exciting! I shouldn't say that, I had a very full weekend of cooking dinners for people. Sounds weird, but I live for it. I think I might just resurrect bimonthly dinner parties. I just need a house to use as a host venue....any takers?

My head just came out of the fog a bit, but only to focus on the menu. Tuna Tartar Amuse-Bouche, Shaved Almond and Goat Cheese Spinach Salad, Pan Seared Beef Tenderloin with Onion Crisps, Asparagus served on a bed of Scalloped Potatoes..... Dessert is the tough one....either a blueberry creme brulee or raspberry chocolate pots...yum!

Now that the menu is done, back to the fog.....back to work....
