Frugit the Asteran

It's been a minute.

I guess I sorta want to get into the habit of journaling. Today I worked pretty hard to get a creature out of the VEND machine. I hyperfocused on it and didn't get up until I got him out. That might not be a very healthy thing for me to do, because I did want to stop and do something different with my day today. But the creature was only there for about 5 more hours. Anyway, when I finally got Calle13, I got up cleaned my kitchen a bit and made a spinach and white mushroom lasagna. Mostly all the ingredients were fresh, with the exception of the lasagna pasta. Overall it was kinda basic, but very edible. It had a whole pound of fresh mozzarella cheese which was the highlight. It was missing basil in the sauce and an extra 2 Roma tomatoes. I thought I had over done it with the black pepper, but it actually wasn't enough. My roommate enjoyed it, but she started giving me ideas that I wasn't really looking for. I don't think I enjoy cooking with other people. It's just for me and I like to focus on everything and think every little detail will matter for the overall dish. I have 4 pieces left. The calorie count came out to approximately 600 calories for 2 squares and 30-35 g of protein. That's pretty solid. It's flavor I need to work on.

I also forgot to add fresh basil to the sauce. My basil plant is sitting on the mantle but I'm afraid she only has a week before my neglect kills her. I'm really hoping my roommate is better at keeping plants alive, than I am. Once I pick up too many hobbies I become overwhelmed and drop every single hobby I've picked up.

I hope that doesn't happen to EggCave because so far I have been active for 21 days straight and I love to watch my critters grow up. Today I have 2 full grown creatures, which I am happy about.

Yesterday I walked to Target and walked back with a 20 lb kettle bell that I bought to work out at home when I get the chance.
On the to do list is: find a sitter for Sativa, clean the living room, pack for my 10 day trip, prepare for my 3 day train ride. I need to pack up Sativa into his smaller cage so he can live with my BFF and her twins for my trip. My roommate is new, so I don't want her hanging out in my room just yet. I don't know her very well and I shouldn't trust her with my pets yet.
For my 3 day train ride I should prepare some over night oats, stock up on some sandwich and salad stuff and maybe take a small growler of my favorite beer for the ride. Oh and I shouldn't forget a good book and maybe a videogame... or maybe not. I would hate losing it in a state I don't live in.
