I simply could not get moving today. Sure, I made the weekly car move and knocked out some laundry, but I literally spent the rest of the day in bed. Had I my druthers, I probably would've stayed in bed until 5 p.m. or so. However, work called.

Granted, it was dead as disco tonight. No idea why, maybe the crappy weather or maybe whatever caused last week to be so busy finally ended, but Junior and I got one fairly good-sized table and two or three two-tops. I spent most of my time upstairs making jambalaya and creole sauce. I like the prep side of the gig, and I'm going to think up a proposal to the Boss Man that'd put me back in a prep cook position. Maybe something like come in at 10 in the morning, prep for however long, do the stock and then help out on the line. It all sort of depends on whether or not he buys the joint, as there's a whole lot not getting done now and I'm sure he and the Big Man will be much busier once the deal goes down. We'll study on it and see.

Otherwise, not much to report. Rainy and cold today, and it's supposed to stay that way through tomorrow. I went to Cosimo's after work, and had a dude named Jim come up to me to express his interest in my coming there to read. Speaking of reading, I read some Harlan Ellison at the laundry mat and started I, Claudius this evening. I liked the former but I really like the latter. Library books, but I may have to break down and buy a copy of both I, Claudius and Claudius The God at some point.

Beyond that, I think the Cat is going back into heat as she's being inordinately friendly and seeking of affection. And with that pleasant note, my toast is done.
