Hiatus

Well, Monday Meal is going on Hiatus this week. Matt left for Cali yesterday and I just can't be bothered to make a meal on my own, especially after what happend last night. I went to the trouble to put a bitta rice in the rice cooker and then saute some zucchini and mushrooms. The “main course” was to be a frozen salmon filet with dill sauce on it that I got from Target. It was the only thing going in my oven, so I decided to put it on one of our oven proof plates – less mess in the long run, since I could eat off it as well. Bad choice. Of course after it came out of the 425 degree oven, I promptly forgot it had been in there and put my hand right on it to pick it up. I managed not to sling it across the kitchen, but it did get dropped a couple inches onto the counter where it did that rotating plate thing for a second and just sat there. But the damage was already done. My hand was burned. BADLY. I am, in fact, sitting here looking at the blisters on my thumb, pointer, middle, and index fingers. The pain was so bad I had it on ice or in a bucket of water until almost 2 AM when I finally fell asleep. This morning, I was OK to go without ice, but it still stings like hell.

Matt is in Cali now. Maybe he'll write something up for us. Yea, I wouldn't hold my breath either. He'll be vair busy with his new job. It's going to be so much fun for him. Before this, CO was the farthest West he'd been. And I'm sure I'll be visiting him occasionally… So this is also Loki's first day at home. Alone. In his kennel. Because we can't let him have the roam of the house – he might (and this is a fairly real concern) chew a power cord. And we can't let him have the run of the yard, because it is as of yet untested if he can jump the fence or not and he's a truly inspiring jumper already without a challenge. So he's alone in “the box.” Poor little guy. I fully intend to make it up to him when I get home tho. He'll have a most excellent run and some snuggles and training time. I just hope he forgives me!!!
