Place: Subway
Lunch: Big Hot Pastrami (with chipotle southwest sauce, pickles, and stale bread), creamy baked potato soup, Coke
I saw the Big Hot Pastrami ad over the weekend and was terribly excited. It's been a few years since Subway's done the pastrami thing nationally. So that was my lunch plan for today.
And it's awful.
Wow.
Almost flavorless.
I actually taste the staleness of the bread more than the pastrami itself.
Depressing.
The soup's okay, though. I don't go to Subway much and I'm not sure when they decided to carry soup. Apparently the cashier isn't either, because when I asked for soup, she had no idea what I was talking about.
The girl who made the sandwich (aka "Subway Sandwich Artist") did, though.
Woke up at four this morning. I did so because Chester Cat decided I needed to be up then.
This happens when I return from long trips. The cats tend to be more demanding for awhile, and I was just gone for ten days. (They're not left alone, I have a cat sitter who visits them periodically.)
Anyway, Chester's method for waking me is to sit in front of my face, purr loudly, and slide his paw in and out of the space between my face and the pillow.
It's quite effective.
In this case, it led to him being shoved off the bed. I'm grumpy enough on a good day. But I currently have a sinus cold going on, so...
Ten seconds later, he was right back in my face, purring, doing the paw thing.
Then Maggie Cat appeared on the other side of me, looking at me like "Well? Are you up yet?"
So I laid in bed for awhile and pet them. Then I got up and fed them. They were SO excited.
I'm about halfway through the work e-mails for the past week.
And about half past sleepy.
