Dirty little secrets

Having returned to work, I'm starting to understand why so many people purchase convenience foods and fast food. Holy cow, I'm starving when I leave work, and fast food, which I usually think is gross, even sounds tempting. Thankfully, DH or the girls usually have something waiting for me when I get home. I don't even remember the last time I cooked a proper dinner, though.



Yes, I'm guilty of purchasing some convenience foods. This time of year, there's not much in the garden, the freezer is empty, and the pantry is bare. This, if all goes according to plan, won't happen next year, as I intend to grow and put up a LOT more than last year. But, for now, if I have to shop anyway, I'm buying stuff that is quick and easy to fix.



Time is precious lately. I need time to get the garden in, or there won't be any produce to put up for next year. The less time spent cooking something that I'm just going to wolf down without even tasting, the more time I have to work in the garden.

Between working (at work), and working in the garden/yard, I've completely lost touch with the outside world. Maybe that's not altogether a bad thing. (North Korea did what?)

You'd think having a job would put me more in touch with what is going on in the world, wouldn't you? But I am usually working outside, and the trip to and from work is short, therefore very little radio news. I don't watch tv, though I guess maybe I should start catching the news every now and then. Problem is, that when the news comes on, I'm either working outside or asleep.

I've made some new friends at work, which is nice. I do love my job, but when it's over, I'll be glad to be home again. Although, I've discovered another dirt little secret: working, at least at my job, is much easier than running a household.
