Just a few short things because I’m running behind today!
A reader (I think Kristin from Going Country?) recommended I try Joe’s O’s from Trader Joe’s for one of my post-shift cereals, so I did.
I was impressed by the shape of the O’s; it was more reminiscent of a true Cheerios shape than most off-brand versions are.
However, to me they tasted sort of sweet but bland, as if they needed a little sprinkle of salt. I googled to find out if anyone else felt this way, and apparently, I am not alone.
So, I’d say I like the way the Aldi version tastes better, but the Joe’s O’s are more visually appealing.
I’m used to writing for an audience
I’ve realized a reason all these school writing assignments feel a little pointless: they’re being seen by almost no one!
I’m used to writing for people; I type here, hit the publish button, and then ta-dah! It’s in front of an audience.
But for school assignments, I work hard on writing a well-researched paper, I edit it, reread it, edit it again, submit it, and then…one person reads it.*
That is a tiny bit unfulfilling.
Especially for someone accustomed to blogging life.
*In some classes, I have my doubts the professor was even reading what we submitted, because my classmates and I got the same exact generic feedback on our submissions.
I really need to do a freezer challenge
After four years here, my chest freezer has gotten a little bit too full.
And my kitchen freezer is kind of a mess too.
(You know that saying, “Wherever you go, there you are.”? That’s me with freezers; no matter my address, I will eventually fill up a freezer. Ha.)
I feel like I might have a little bit of mental space this semester, so I’m hoping to do some freezer challenges. I’ll probably do them bite-sized like I did many years ago, taking just one little freezer section each week to work on.
This is perhaps a sign my life is feeling a little more manageable; I can actually consider a freezer challenge!
Ok, that’s all for today. See ya tomorrow for Thankful Thursday. 🙂
