Catnip is crack, ordering a turkey, cranky thoughts

Maybe found the catnip! 

Maybe is glad?

Having watched everything I could watch on instagram featuring  the little Japanese baby girl  eating delicious Japanese finger food - and the baby gorilla gorilla-ing in a Japanese Zoo with his family -  I remembered that we are hosting Thanksgiving again-  The connection being food and family, I guess.  I decided to go to the Co-op to order an organic, free range, named and loved, turkey and do a brief shop. Ordering the turkey was irritating and , in the end,  I said  forget about it. I waited about 15 minutes just to talk to the  young woman at  the service  desk, She filled out a form , asked all sorts of question, another 20 minutes, Computer was very slow and the desk person was new to the system. Then she disappeared, went upstairs for another  19 minutes. Came back down and said that I must  create an account with some weirdo company that delivers food to the Co op. Answer more  questions giving information about address, email, phone number, credit card, bank, marital status, ...  IT'S JUST a TURKEY for F's sake!! I waved her off, said " No thank you very much -  We will get one from Cost Co."

Today has been irritating, not sure why, could be the change in weather, could be that I didn't get enough sleep, could be that I am not living life according to "dictates of  my higher self.".. ( ok, I find Oprah irritating as well) whatever.

I tried to order something online, when it came to final price which added shipping and taxes and a GD tip (?) I dumped it.What else irritates me today- Oh I know- when people are describing  something instead of using  a simile, they say This- whatever- it- may- be , is "Giving"..blah blah blah- giving notes of lemon zest on the breeze , giving Gervaise  sass , giving hints of seasonal inspiration...dear lord, spare us all! 

" hmmm "  I say,  while cogitatiively stroking my beard, " you are giving , I would say, hints  and notes of pretentious  booolshit"  

The other thing that gets me is when audience members decide to WHOOP their way through a performance, whoop and whistle - fine for a rock concert, granted, but a ballet or a poetry reading? Just shut up. Not all performances are about you . 

While I am being cranky I  will also just  say that sexual assault on a woman, rape, is attempted murder and the perp should be on trial for that, sentenced for that, because it is a MURDER but the murdered survive, forever damaged.  "boys will be boys"?? Not today A-holes. 

 Yesterday, I bought a grab bag at the thrift store after  eye treatment. Fabulous enough? Ornament hanging on the bottle is  Bedouin amulet, the ornament on the orphan is  Banjara. The pottery bell doesn't ring, it clunks, and I love it! The orphan is  the wildest one I have every found. Her hair is crazy and she means it! 

I stopped at the grocery , bought these seasonal local apples called OPAL. They only grow in Washington state  for a very brief season. 

Here is an accurate description from a review I found online. 

"The Opal apple looks like it shit itself. I apologize for being uncouth but there is no more apt observation. Just look at the top of it. The Opal apple looks like a jaundiced, freckled, unwiped anus. In fact, this may be the ugliest apple of the modern era. That being said, if you’re going to be an ass, you might as well be a good ass. And like a good ass, the Opal apple is exceptionally sweet and juicy. In fact, the complex flavor profile featuring hints of banana, coconut, and pear make this Czech-born, oddly-named monstrosity a delight to consume. And while the outside may be stained with a toddler’s accident, in an ironic twist, the interior of the apple does not brown for quite some time. "

I left the last sentence off because clearly this writer has a fixation on ass and the ending was too much of it. 

   

I rolled my window down to take a photo of the corner where I turn into town. The window was rain droppy.

Pyracantha I think it is called. Or firethorn? Anyway it stays plump and pretty for a couple of months . Grows abundantly . 

Ok, then, I am going to take my cranky self downstairs to move stuff from one place to another thinking that will add more space to this house. Chasing illusion!

Dig a hole, fill it up.

Crank on, my fellows!
