Cheddar is best for tomato bases.
Chili’s and Spaghetti’s are yummy
but cheese adds another dimension.
Mozzarella is great for the cheesy pulls.
Pizza’s are an excellent example.
My favorite is Feta but that is a specific flavour.
Best in salads.
Parmesan is outdone by Romano for seasoning dishes
and best of all is a dish that uses all of them!
If only they could listen.
Understand what the problem is.
I do not speak cat
but I try my hardest to figure out why?
Hopefully I can figure them out.
If not I might have to google things.
I lost my edge.
I can not find the path.
Travel is winding.
Long and forgotten.
Where do I go from here?
I run out of breath easily.
Long tasks tire me out.
My mental energy goes away quickly.
I exercise.
Still people say I should do more.
That I am only being lazy
and not putting in the work.
I need to listen to my inner voice
and have it understand
I am not just lazy.
I merely know my limitations better than those people.
Opening the emergency hatch on a moving vehicle.
Putting boiled eggs in the freezer.
Lying to you friends.
Petting a growling dog.
Having life insurance expire.
Segregating the cats
so one can build his confidence back up.
If only the smaller one could not hear him playing.
Even if she is in a different room.
Her toys are hers.
All toys are hers.
Even if she doesn’t like playing with them.
Still, I try.
Hopefully one day she won’t be so jealous.
Time marches forward.
Many times we would like to go back.
But the only way to change to the future
is by acting in the now.
I do not always react in the now.
Most times it is days or weeks from now.
Pliable.
Elastic.
Mobile.
Fraught with stress.
Never ending frowns.
Comments are to be kept to themselves.
What profession are you in?
Someone can be an amateur for years
and yet novices can be professionals.
The disparity between the job
and the experience is not always clearly defined.
I am a professional mom
but I would not call myself
a professional homemaker.
I simply am.
Inspired treats.
Like fried rice or
Szechuan beef.
If not for those who come to us
we would not know
some many wonderous things.
