I have been absent the last couple days and not for any good reason. I just simply didn't have anything to say and completely forgot.
It seems that the evil dog situation is much more under control so that's awesome. But I have been sleeping terribly with really bad, scary, tiring, weird dreams. It really sucks. I don't know why or how, I really just can't figure it out. Hopefully it will pass.
I went to the grocery store yesterday, not the same one as last week though. I wanted to try something else price wise and to change the general shopping experience. It worked. while I spent waaaaaay to much money (better selection) and went a little crazy on the dairy side of things, it was nice. I had this amazing meal planned out for myself. Gourmet baked mac and cheese, butternut squash, buttermilk biscuits, and a red leaf lettuce salad with peanut butter chocolate chip cookies for dessert. I got home and unloaded my groceries and started cooking. I prepped and cooked for about 2 and half hours and sadly, I do not have any pictures to share because it basically ALL FAILED. The squash was not ripe even after being in the oven for close to an hour, came out hard and not sweet. The cheese from the mac and cheese didn't fully melt after being in the oven for awhile, and I put too much breadcrumbs on top. I only have one baking sheet, which was currently occupied by the disastrous squash, so the biscuits were completely forgotten about and by the time this all had gone awry, I was far too disheartened to attempt the salad (even thought it's something I know I can do). I also made some pesto for future dinners but realized I forgot to buy fresh garlic. Tired of cooking and really hungry by now, I left the cookies for another day. It was all pretty annoying by the end of the day, but the thing is I didn't use any recipes and just made it up as I went along. Now I guess I will know how to do it right...?
In other news, I went to Glacier Park Motel & Campground's "job fair" today. Yes they really do have fully furnished tipis. When I arrived, there was not a single applicant on site that I could identify. Okay, good news right? Better chances for me. I filled out the application in about 5 minutes (half a page) and then a few other people showed up, all older women (this place is entirely populated by old women, I'm sure of it), and the woman at the front desk gave me about a 6 minute interview and said she would be calling references on Tuesday. Strange, I thought Monday was a day for business...
We shall see how that all goes.
A nice little something that did come out of this day was I decided to take a different way home, as in, not the way I came (there are only two ways). It turned out to be shorter and much prettier. So if nothing else, I went for a pleasant drive today.
I took some photos while driving, here is one. The mountains are nearly my back yard.
