One Pink Elephant (a week in the life)

“A week in the life,” posts are incidental musings, pictures, memes I mined and things I’ve bought. Why? Because it’s content and nothing I wrote for today made the cut. Welp, enjoy!
I finished this pink elephant on Tuesday. I branched out into making elephants while trying to keep myself distracted and also contemplating my return to training. I sourced some new wool from another supplier who was more cost effective. It allowed me to experiment and dare to waste materials or mess things up. The freedom to do that actually helped me not mess it up because I could potentially fix it. There are 5 of these elephants in existence right now. Two look passable. The others look like they want to kill you…Like the ugly cats, they just come out kind of angry, maybe because you have to stab them 145385673852 times to form them.
(I just sent the above pic to a work friend while writing this. She told me to bring the elephants and ugly cats so no one will go near our desk.)
I cooked a big rack of ribs on the weekend. I experimented with garlic and maple, salt and pepper. It came out well and I will do it again sometime when I crave meat. It’s not that much food, technically the meat is only a thin sliver on each side of the bone so…it lasted a couple of days…and once again the will to be slimmer and fitter disappears for another week.
Monday was crap. Monday is always crap, it’s the start of another week of you working, getting closer to death, all of that good stuff. Naturally when my friend AC wanted to drop by after work, I was feeling like poop and did not feel like being a human let alone entertaining anyone. I did it anyway for the short time he was visiting. The good thing was that AC brought around a belated birthday present for me, probably knowing I’m a sad sack, Eeyore, mopey fuck atm.
I have chicken feet socks. This makes me happy. Bok Bok.
I had a hot chocolate on Friday night. It was literally hot.chocolate. Not milk and a lot of water etc. It was Spanish drinking chocolate. Chocolate is part of my food pyramid, I think I even have a problem. It’s a must-have for me. However…trying to drink/eat this thing was tiring. It was so chocolatey and definitely worth the money, but halfway through I was slowing down, the richness that I usually want was almost overwhelming. The marshmallow on top was blowtorched to all buggery by the pretentious curly-haired teenager at the counter too but, besides those things, it was a good experience. When I left, I told my mum that I am never eating chocolate again…
and now that I am looking at the picture, I’m contemplating a drive to get another one and would recommend you treat yo self too.
