LOL! And, if you thought yesterday was boring...

...you're gonna HATE today!

At least yesterday I went shopping after work. Today was another cold, windy, miserable day (a good "chili" day, but I still haven't found or made any good chili, yet).

Quite the opposite, actually. Today was a rather lengthy search for a restaurant that still served fried clams. I first got hooked on fried clams back in the 1970's, when the Howard Johnson's in Port Huron offered an "all you can eat" fried clams dinner on Fridays. OMG, they were good!

Today, however, fried clams have been removed from restaurant menus everywhere, and I'm not sure just why. Perhaps in our health-conscious society, a mound of deep-fried, battered morsels of clam-goodness, served with either tartar or seafood sauce, no longer works with the diet-de-jour.

Anyway, with the help of the Piece Offerings Administrator, I eventually found a restaurant that still served them (Beaver Creek in Westland, the place that serves the wild game and buffalo). So, that's what I had for lunch.

But, all afternoon, I was sleepy. I don't know if it was the heavy fried food or the cold, or the long afternoon, waiting for the weekend, but I could barely stay awake.

So, when I got home, I decided it would be a great idea to take a nap, so I wouldn't fall asleep too early tonight (that's twisted logic if I ever heard it!) and so, "could get a lot done tonight."

Now having a plan, I got home and after dealing with the mail, etc., I went to bed with my book and a drink. It wasn't until 6:30 when I actually fell asleep, though. I woke up just after 8:00, but I really didn't feel like beginning any projects or cleaning the house (which was why I took a nap in the first place!)so, I didn't. I heated up the last two pieces of my homemade turkey pot pie and ate that watching TV.

I did stay up until 12:30, but with no net gain on my house at all!
