And now I guess it’s just going to be totally normal to eat my yogurt with the edge of tiny plastic knife.

Turkey and avocado sandwich and a yogurt

So I’ve become the kind of person who brings her laptop everywhere, even to her office, so I can type things up as I go. Which meant I had it with me so I could skype with M. while eating my sandwich and yogurt before class. While of course we had big dramatic things to talk about–I mean, she might have a j-o-b by the end of the week!–of equal importance was whether I should eat my yogurt with a tiny plastic fork or a tiny plastic knife, having no spoons in my drawer at all. I was inclined to the fork, but M. suggested the knife, and, well, she’s the one with the Ph.D. Worked wonders when it came to scooping around the edges.

I toasted my bread which meant I had a warm sandwich and that was pretty nice, sliced pear on the plate too, on the couch gabbing with K. like old times like all times. We agreed that our cats are pretty cute, and that you pretty much know what you know when you know it, so it’s probably not worth thinking that much about.

Made a sandwich and put myself back on the couch, chased it with a honeycrisp apple. What a great apple, right?

Terrence Hayes is standing up at the front of the room at the podium, just finished reading some poems to a quiet room that only laughed when he told us to, me too, and asks for questions, one hand shoots up fast, This doesn’t have anything to do with you poems, but why are you wearing two watches? And he tells us the story of his watch, more expensive than my first car, and then the watch his daughter gave him when she was seven because she figured he liked watches, runs on a battery he sniffed. The watch went dead in January, five years it lasted, he keeps it on his wrist because he’s used to it and because I like to think about time. Yeah, me too, this two-day old sandwich, that lifetime ago when D. gave me his book and it really was just right, there’s a reason it won a big prize

What a sandwich, what an apple, what a well-packed lunch, what a companionable lunch, googleychatting with K. in the sliver of minutes between meeting two and meeting three.

I didn’t get to lunch until 4:15. Gutter. Barrel-scraping.

I loved what G. showed us about PubMed. Seriously blew me away, how effective that MeSH searching is. Sunk into my sandwich after the meeting a whole lot smarter than I was in the morning.

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich and an apple

Nothing to see here, nothing to see here, just moving through tasks while eating my sandwich. The apple was exceptional. Maybe there’s something to this whole organic local food movement after all.
