Work at Home

I have a confession to make.  Yesterday, I took a nap.  A 2 ½ hour nap.  I think that’s a sign that I should not regularly be working at home until we finish the garage-to-office remodel.  I was reading a paper I need to review and I kept hearing my bed calling to me.  So I gave in.  It felt wonderful, but totally threw last night’s routine off.

It took me until 12:00 a.m. to get to sleep and then I kept waking up every 2 hours.  I did discover during my light sleeping that the cats have been battling over who can sleep next to my belly.  I had heard that cats like pg bellies (which I’m still not sure I believe), but considering all the places that they normally snuggle against, my belly usually isn’t one of them. 

And it was not very comfortable.  With Bunny pushing as hard as he could from the inside, the last thing I want is two cats fighting about who can push as hard as s/he can from the outside.  Thus, there were kitties flying across the bed during the night, and not on their own accord. 

The Garden

I’m still amazed at how much the garden is producing this early on.  Yesterday, we had our first real harvest of radishes.  Only, we didn’t eat the radishes;  we’ll have them tonight with some salt.  What we actually had was radish greens soup.  I had found this recipe years ago in Food and Wine, but couldn’t find fresh enough greens to use with them.  I figure that the 30 minutes it took to harvest, clean and chop them could count as “fresh.”  And the soup was really good—very mild and tasty.  I didn’t tell Dave until we were halfway through in case it induced a weeb reaction, but he liked it a lot too.  And it just seems so gourmet and frugal at the same time!  I love the idea of eating the entire plant.  Actually, I can’t wait until the beets are ready.  I love roasted beets, but it’s the beet greens that come out beyond delicious either steamed, sautéed or in a soup!! 

OK.  Off to work.  I had to write this entry twice b/c stupid, frickin’ radio refreshed and I lost the original much wittier entry.  I’m hoping tomorrow to finally post my review of birthing books.  You’re going to be shocked about what is out there.
