Farm Fresh has eggs, hooray! Soul Food has no eggs and only frozen chickens for the winter, so I was worried I might have to alter my protein ingestion habits. Well, I will, a bit, but not as much as I feared.

In addition to eggs, today's box brought

• satsumas
• apples
• pears
• lettuce
• shallots (A lot of shallots, I have no idea what to do with them, I usual buy them one or two at a time and not very often)
• leeks
• sweet potatoes
• broccoli
• spinach
• collard greens

I feel healthier just having all those leafy greens in my crisper.
 
I had left one of those paper bags with handles out for the cats, mostly because Wednesday was really enjoying it. This morning she got it stuck on her somehow (possibly by pushing herself halfway through the bottom, I'm not sure) and did that cat tearing around trying to get away from the flapping bag that's stuck to her thing. She apparently solved the problem by diving through the cat door, because I found the bag wedged into it, completely blocking access. One of the other cats brought it to my attention, of course. Edited to add: and then she tore up and down the hallway maybe an hour later with the handle still wrapped around her middle. Poor thing. She did stand still long enough for me to get it off of her and didn't seem traumatized by the whole ordeal.

For a hot minute there I thought I would make and stick to actual New Years Resolutions. They're the same resolutions I make, like, every other week, but for most of Sunday I was motivated to actually do stuff and felt like I could keep it up. Pretty much gone by Monday. Ongoing process is still ongoing, I suppose, and holidays mess up what little routine I have. But the Overdue Items on the To Do list is shrinking - not rapidly, but it does shrink. So that's something.

I have been doing well keeping up with the weekly Torah portions, but I've been disappointed in iTorah's English translations. I think it might just be KJV, which is not what I'm used to and not what the commentaries I have access to use when they quote in English. So it's readable but I don't want to get to reliant on it when I get all thinky. I've had Robert Alter's translation of Genesis on my wish list for, I don't know, years and finally went ahead and bought it this week. Of course, I start Exodus on Friday, so kind of not timely on my part? But I'll have it next year. And I should just remind myself not to get to caught up in thinkiness with my current resources, which shouldn't be hard.
