unjustifiably proud of myself

The internet wasn't working.

So, in a flash of brilliance the likes of which has not been seen on this Earth since the day God said LET THERE BE LIGHT, I unplugged the router and then plugged it back in.

I wonder if NASA is hiring
I INVENTED THE INTERNET THIS DAY.

The whisk wasn't in the kitchen drawer to the right of the stove. I looked and looked, under the wooden spoon and behind the spatula. But no. The whisk was GONE. All hope was lost. I was going to have to use a fork to whisk the eggs. A FORK. Like Jodie Foster in NELL.

But then, in a moment of crystalline insight into the order of the world, I thought maybe, just maybe I should look in the drawer to the left of the stove, and...

I needed to trim my fingernails so I went looking for the fingernail clippers.

Several weeks later I found them.

obviously
in the kitchen
with the stamps
and the tape

Me: I'd like the veggie burger with cheddar cheese.
Her: Waffle or sweet potato fries?
Me: I'd like the green salad.

No thanks
actually
I'd prefer
room-temp
leaves
do your leaves have stalks
I def need some stalks
fibrous
nutrient-dense
I love how
they get stuck in my teeth
so much better
than
salty
crispy
french fried
potatoes
because I'm good
so good
this time

I think it was pretty clear from the breathless awe that shone from her face that I was the most impressive person she'd met since the new millenium, or possibly ever.
