I am now leaving class to pick up meat. Lecture started at 3pm. My CSA share arrived at 3:16pm. I could have made an alternative plan. Picking up meat isn't complicated. Hold on to my phone, answer it when the call comes that meat is almost here, go outside and pick it up, put it in the department freezer with a note pleading not to trash my bag of meat. I could have easily asked someone to take care of this for me. 

But instead I took my chances. I selected a seat near the door; I needed to be near a plug anyway because my laptop will die after about 30 minutes. I kept my coat on; it was cold outside, and I didn't want to make extra noise or waste extra time by putting on my coat for my brief escape.

I couldn't wait to see what was in my magical meat bag. So many great items; the wheels in my head immediately started turning. Ground goat could become homemade goat sloppy joe's (inspired by a dish I saw on the menu at Little Goat), or perhaps some chili. My first bit of beef! More raw material for my slow cooker. 

I am now writing about meat in class. Someone had taken my carefully chosen seat; she is now sleeping. I am stuck sitting on the floor next to my plug. But I have meat waiting in my office freezer, and that's really all I can think about right now.
