food, car, dog, i think... what i meant to say (somewhere along the way) was that there is much more hope than anything else... or something like that... speaking of the car, i hope to test it more tomorrow and still get to the party tomorrow night... there is always a solution, albeit some are ridiculously expensive, so hope for the best...

and the food included meatballs that i have been meaning to buy for weeks because there are two open large tomato sauce jars in the fridge and i wanted to use them before they spoiled, so i did... unfortunately, the meatballs werre made with fennel and spices i do not like, so now i have four dozen meatballs that i do not like... i would bring them to the party tomorrow night, but i don't have a pot bring them in... i don't even have a container to keep them in the fridge... the kitchen here is simply not big enough to unpack and organize all the stuff so i can never find anything and that's one of the main reasons we are moving...

anyway, i bought some old favorites to cook this week, easy stuff i add my own seasoning and extras to to make them more to my liking... there is a giant lasagna to go with the meatballs (if only they were my kind of meatballs... i suppose i should have read the ingredients... they were supermarket made ground pork... i didn't even notice they were pork... that's what i get for rushing through the store to get back to my car to get back to happiness at home... usually i buy raw ground beef and mix my own ingredients and spices to make meatballs, but the arm was not up for the mixed of the meat, spices, and other stuff i sometimes use (bread crumbs, eggs or potatoes, etc)... anyway, there's more food in the fridge again...

happiness is depressed again, as expected... watching the cars and the door, waiting for jackson... we go through this every time she's away, which is a lot lately... he just lays at her door waiting for her looking sad most of the time... so i take him out more and give him more treats, but nothing replaces mom for long... i put him on the couch for a while and sat with him... after a while i had to check on the food cooking and he watched me for a while, then went back to the foot of her bed... he doesn't hop up on the bed or things anymore... poor old puppy, what a drag it is getting on...
