Seeking Supper

After school today, I took a hankerin' (that's Indiana talk) for some Casey's pizza.  For the unitiated, Casey's is a gas station/convenience store...and Mooresville has two of them.  When Meg and Nate lived near Camby, I would often go by their place on my way home from school by way of a Mooresville Casey's, just to buy a couple of pieces of their pizza.  I love it!  I thought about doing that today, but the roads are so messed up with construction that I wasn't sure I could actually get home from Mooresville in a timely fashion.  Okay...scrap the pizza.  What is Plan B?  Hmmm...what am I hungry for?  I have food at home, but that doesn't sound like any fun.  By this time, I was on US 40 in Plainfield.  The usual fast foods were too far down 40 for me, but Long John Silver's caught my eye...

My experience with Long John Silver's isn't all that good.  The few times I have eaten their food, I've been disappointed...but somehow, I seem to forget that between rare visits to the establishment.  Today, I decided to try again.  In the drive-thru, I ordered a platter with 2 pieces of fish and 8 shrimp, with cole slaw, hush puppies, french fries...and a drink.  It came to over $8!  Brought the stuff home to eat, and guess what?  It's just as bad as I remembered!  When I think of what I COULD have had for $8, I shudder!  I ended up giving the french fries to the dog.  The next time I decide to try LJS's again, I will announce it on the repeater and hope that someone talks me out of it!!!

My schedule at school is killing me.  I teach 3 1/2 classes before lunch, then 1 1/2 before break...then one more.  We are down to 4-minute passing periods (from 5), and there simply isn't time to use the restroom!  The only saving grace is that my prep period is 6th, which is just about the time that the morning's food/liquid intake hits.  Ahhhhhhhh!  (I feel sorry for the teachers that have first period prep!)

This is going to sound silly because I spend a great deal of my spare time with my daughter and my adored grandchildren....but I miss the companionship of Megan before the children came...and their move to Muncie really messed me up!  In a sense, I suppose the distance is God's way of helping us both become more independent of each other...but isn't that doing it the hard way?  It could be worse: she couldlive in Colorado...

The Fro-dog left me some presents in the house today.  I THINK I have found them all.  Fun, fun!
