Monday Monday Monday

So, Duchezz has had a day full of fail.
Jiro "hydrated" her Millefleur throw.
She broke the travel cup I gave her for Christmas (which she loved).
She ran late and had to miss her kickboxing class.

So she came home early. Went to get her wet laundry and put it on the line. Except she programmed it fine to start sometime this afternoon, but failed to hit the "Start" button.

Went to set up the new mailbox ($60 for mailbox, $20 for portable hole--part of the great home improvement shopping excursion from the weekend) only to find that the 4x4 piece we have at the house is an actual 4x4, which of course means it's OLD, since a modern 4x4 is actually 3.5 x 3.5.

So she's working out frustrations by raking up the leaves that accumlated by the side of the road (read: did not blow across like the rest of the leaves).

On the stove are collard greens in the Dutch oven that came with the house and jambalaya in the Le Creusset Dutch oven [livejournal.com profile] kelfstein gave us. And  in the kitchen is a new box of cereal for breakfast that's all [personal profile] svan_1004 's fault.

Later there will be grading and Jack (24, not Daniels).

We shall salvage the fail. That's how we roll.

Fail: It's what's for dinner.

We eat fail with clotted cream.
Steep pain like tea and drink.
We cook up every scary thing
And serve it nice and neat.
With nettles in the crock pot
And gators in the stew,
We chop and roast what others fear
To make it something new.

When we feel full up inside,
We pour a tiny drink
Of friendship and compassion,
And wash up in the sink.

From Duchezz:

*Laughing* "Thank you, Dicea! This is just one of the many reasons we love you."

holding the wand for a day does not make you the screw up fairy.

Take care

I have said 3.5x3.5 at our house, happy to provide, on a different day of failure we recieved a notice that the mailbox could not be in a milk can and in effort to strictly comply with the rukes, Wolf purchased all said supplies and found you can't dig holes in shale with a shovel so all sits in the barn. Let me know! :)

not fail: only setbacks and distractions

I am glad you like the dutch oven.


The Fail will fail.
