Dec. 10th, 2018 02:00 pmI put frozen chopped spinach in my sour cream noodles and now they're healthy and stuff.
I am doing okay at this Cooking Like An Adult And Getting Vegetables thing.
On the other hand, my 51-year-old roommate concocted a Plot to dump out the 55-year-old roommate/landlord's booze and fill it partly with water. She did this without consulting me, because I would have said "That's a fucking terrible idea, you can't force an alcoholic to stop drinking". Which I did say after the fact, as well as saying not to involve me in this shit.
And she said "Well I just don't want him drunk around us" and I said "That has never, in the thousands-of-years history of alcoholism, worked. If he doesn't feel like he's as drunk as he wants to be, he'll just drink more to compensate. What's a BETTER idea, which I am doing right now, is taking a picture of the bottle so I have evidence for when I talk to his probation officer AFTER I am safely out of this situation".
I just . . . how do you get to be that age and so utterly inept at How Things Work? She keeps asking me how to do adulting things, and I google it. I'm defaulting to "You have a phone, you can look it up".
But my noodles taste good and I'm trying to focus on the positives there.
