ismoWell, I guess I'd better say something . . . I have been unaccountably tired the last couple of nights. I haven't slept well. Tuesday night, I had one of my end of the world dreams. This one was relatively mild, because nothing bad was happening at the moment. It's just that everyone knew the world was about to end--not the exact moment, but Real Soon Now. Most people were just pretending it wouldn't happen. I was wondering how long one should go on doing things like paying for snacks at the convenience store. On the one hand, it seemed like a good idea to maintain social conventions until close to the end. On the other hand, money had no real value if you weren't going to live beyond next week. I decided to behave properly for the sake of the people who were in denial, but it was kind of irritating to have to conform even at the end of the world. Then last night I woke up at 5 am after dreaming I was trapped in a room with an extremely evil international criminal. Gee, I can't imagine where these notions are filtering in from.
Yesterday, I was out having lunch with Madame, and the Sparrowhawk stayed home to await the refrigerator. When I got home, it was there! And the angels sang! LAAAAA!! It took most of the day to chill down to its proper temperature, but by nightfall, we had a functioning refrigerator. It is a thing of beauty. The specs sheet is a bit weird though. It contains this information:
"Steep a relaxing herbal tea or prepare light and fluffy couscous with an adjustable hot water dispenser that provides precise temperatures and measurements.
Use your voice or smart device to preheat water from your refrigerator while you relax in another part of the house."
I must say, it NEVER occurred to me that one day I could make couscous with the aid of my refrigerator, while reclining on my chaise longue.
Also this:
"Display groceries like a gallery with showcase LED lighting positioned throughout the interior to spotlight your favorite foods and containers."
Now they have gone too far. I have to have a favorite container now? My leftovers will be a work of art? The pressure!!
The Philosopher and his Lovely (pregnant) Friend are coming to see us tomorrow. I am in a panic state because--you guessed it--I am NOT READY. They'll be lucky if they get anything to eat. I'll be too busy arranging my refrigerator to look like an art gallery. Maybe I can make some couscous.
