REMEMBER REMEMBER

guy fawkes was not good at terrorism.
nope.
he got caught right away.
and now, there's fireworks about it.
let's all give a clap for england and their sense of humor.
remember remember when that dude tried to blow up our government?
let's make explosions about it to mock his failure.
....and light effigies of his body on fire everywhere,
four hundred plus years later!!!!
ha!
i just made oatmeal about it-
for real,
i didn't have a nighttime bonfire,
instead i fell asleep at the wheel a little on my way home in the dark.
yeah.
not cool.
but i did start the day with a big bowl of breakfast cereal.
porridge, i suppose you could say.
look:

THAT'S V FOR VENDETTAGABLES, BOI!
cacao stencil activation?
got it.
candied praline pecans?
yup.
(that's toasty pecans with vanilla and powdered sugar)
agave-gazed toasted pepitas?
(the name tells you what's in there)
toasted coconut?
OBVIOUSLY!!
vegan mini dark chocolate chips????
yummmmm. such a good idea.
frozen bloobs and raspies?
dope!
real maple syrup is on there, too.
and the best part?
there's exxxtra-thick rolled oats,
steel-cut scottish oats,
AND regular oats in there-
that's 1/4 cup of each, plus one and a half cups of coconut-almond milk,
plus a splash of vanilla,
AND a handful of brown sugar,
and cinnamon,
and a little bitty bit of baby buttery vegan pats, man.
it's a thiccccc bowl.
i thought that'd be a good idea to start my day.
it probably helped.
***********
i spent the rest of the day with my favorite and the small ones.
off my phone.
for real.
just us hanging out.
there was dancing,
there was eating,
there were vaccinations (yes, my babies get those- shoutouts to science)
there was a LOT of driving and a ton of conversation.
so how'd that go?
....it sure did.
the phone part was actually not a problem, so i'm encouraged by that.
my personality was not improved by the oatmeal, it turns out.
oh well.
i also drank a gallon and half of coffee and still passed out twice on the road.
i dunno what it is about driving at night that puts me in a coma instantly,
and i'm not excited about it either,
but it is what was going on.
maybe it's driving alone?
probably;
never quiet, never soft.....
