- Airdrop photosfrom iphone to laptop for the new recipe
- Open tinypng (fabulous website that compresses your big jpg files to tiny bite-sized files, ergo the name) to compress photos, and upload them
- While it’s doing it, check Facebook because there’s a notification – it’s a recipe request by someone on a photo shared
- Go to get the recipe link from rasaala.com
- Post the link, and tag the person who requested it
- Friend posted picture of a bobcat sighting in her backyard, it’s huge!!! Make an admiring comment on it, with a “haha” emoji
- See the recipe for an Indochinese menu in a foodie group I follow – looks so good, wonder if I can make it for dinner
- Go to the fridge to check for ingredients. All I have is soy sauce and Sriracha. Add stuff to grocery list
- Check on the green beans plant – recipe calls for green beans, one of the plants I’m growing from seeds, it’s doing fabulous, but no flowers yet!
- Back to laptop – notice that tinypng is frozen, refresh it
- Get distracted by an email from a friend who’s in a google group I manage about changing her information, and go to change it
- While there, check another member’s settings to make sure it’s correct as she’s been saying she’s not getting any emails
- Before posting recipe, want to settle on the couch with a show or a movie in Netflix to run in the background while posting
- Open Netflix and start browsing Malayalam language movies specifically Faahad Faasil’s. Rainy weather makes me want to watch artsy Malayalam movies
- Pick one, only after reading the reviews of a few in a trusted site (filmcompanion.in)
- Get distracted by a story there about an upcoming movie based on a book (The Extraordinary Life Of A Fakir …) Hmmm. That looks very interesting
- Go to amazon.com to check out the book, debate whether to buy it in kindle!
- Member in google groups wants her address changed again, do it and text her
- This weather making me sleepy – it’s after 3 pm. Debate with self on the risk of drinking coffee this late as won’t be able to sleep.
- Go make some coffee and drink
- Wonder if my meandering and distracted writing will be a somewhat interesting blog post for the Middle-aged And Restless blog which has been dormant for a while….
- Write the blog post
- …Wow look at the time! Where did the afternoon go?
- 6 websites, 3 hours, 1 strong cup of coffee later – recipe is finally up!
