I’m a little burned out from work. My favorite inventory, the small Hispanic grocery chain, ended yesterday. On Friday, there was extremely thick fog in the morning, and I said riding in the car through thick fog made me hungry for pea soup. Kevin agreed. In fact, he agreed so much, that he reminded me twice throughout the day to pick up ingredients for split pea soup on the way out. So I googled recipes really quick, and apparently, it’s made with a hambone. Well Kevin is a vegetarian, so I googled pea soup recipes without ham. It suggested carrots, celery, onions, dried split peas, vegetable stock, and spices of your choosing. I got this carrot at the store we did inventory at. It’s so funny, I didn’t want to chop it. One of my friends said, “It’s happy to see you!”
I guess it is! I’m glad we had today off. I rested all day, had leftover pea soup, and we shopped for more frozen meals. That’s because tomorrow we get even busier at work. I’m exhausted just thinking about it. We are working four days locally and then on Friday we are traveling to the dead ass middle of Texas.
I took every single denim chenille quilt I’ve ever made to my favorite washateria. They all look amazing now. The two that will be gifts are ready to ship. The others that are going to be sold are going to go in an Etsy shop in 2026. I’ve also made a wreath for one of my friends who moved to North Carolina. It’s a housewarming/holiday gift. This way, I’ll get practice shipping wreaths, too.
That carrot certainly gave me a good laugh! "Happy to see you" indeed.
