++ I CAUGHT MYSELF talking to myself out loud 4 times yesterday. I figured it out. its lonely because the only human interaction when you live alone is 1. over the phone ande 2. when i purchase something. luckily i live with someone, so now i have three forms of interaction. well four if you count people at work. and the other day before heather got into town i fixed myself some dinner and it was super good, except i was the only one enjoying it, and well so it wasn't so enjoyable anymore, so i only ate half of it (which never happens) and put the rest in the fridge. so then heather flew into town and we fixed dinner and it was super good, but then i wasn't so hungry, so i ate half of it and threw the rest in the fridge. good story. i know. i'll tell another.

i went to go re-heat my food from the fridge only to finally realise we don't have a microwave. i never knew how great mmicrowaves were until i tried to heat my food up in the oven. those plates are hot when you take them out of the oven after they have been sitting in there for an hour. its too bad the food doesn't actually heat up with plate and the oven. it just gets hard and crusty on the top and cold in the middle. on the other hand if you put foil on top of it...it takes even longer than the hour it takes to get a crusty top and its still not warm. ++
