1) Sweet Potatoes
My whole life I've been eating yams. Yams in Chinese food in the form of Yams & Broccoli at Chef Jia's place, yams as a side dish at Thanksgiving or Christmas dinner, yams & tofu at home. But I'd never eaten an actual sweet potato. Tonight I had my second meal with sweet potatoes, a quick stir-fry with broccoli stalks and lots of sliced garlic and a splash of soy sauce. (Broccoli stalks because I like to eat the florets either raw or steamed by themselves. I have been cutting the stalks and peeling them and cooking them as a regular vegetable. Sometimes with carrots.)
2) Meds
My prescriptions arrived and they didn't cost as much as I had thought they would. My co-pay is usually ten bucks each but now that my doctor has changed a couple of them, I'm getting twice as many as before and I thought the co-pay would have gone up more. But it didn't.
3) Jewel the Cat's litter box
I hate changing it, but I also don't want her to be unhappy. So I changed it today and when she's happy, I'm happy.
4) Networking
I found a new contact who seems to be very cooperative and friendly and halfway promised to help me network to a new job.
5) Frank
I heard my friend Frank's voice on the radio today. He's morbidly obese and I thought he might not be alive anymore. We'd lost touch about five or six years ago. Now I gotta remember his last name so I can track him down.
