not so aimless, but also not productive

Apparently all I need to keep from feeling aimless is something to procrastinate on. I spent a large part of today hitting F5, but because the alternative was working (preparing for a meeting on Monday), I wasn't worried about the more fulfilling things I could be doing. I was actually kind of disappointed when I realised I didn't have to do a state tax return because that would have let me feel super productive without having to do any actual work.

I did go to the gym and grocery shopping and make delicious mulligatawny soup for dinner (and a vegetable pie thing for future dinners and sandwich filling for this week). All the cooking created a lot of washing up, so that took a fair bit of time, too.

Tomorrow I'm having brunch at a Mexican restaurant with a housemate. They have a prix fixe menu from which it's possible to order a dessert-like thing for all three courses. I'll have to restrain myself to get my star, unfortunately, but luckily the other options also sound good. Then, I really need to do some work...

I just found a recipe online yesterday, but it turned out really well. It's a bit sweeter than I remember tasting it at a restaurant, but I like it that way. You could leave out a bit of apple/lime juice/brown sugar if you don't want it sweet.
