Beginning the day

We're to expect some rainy, windy weather today. It's not fretting me, but the weathermen would prefer that it did. They sure do get excited about using heavy adjectives, you know? Devastating, torrential, catastrophic....you name it, they use it. Everything's a big deal. Well, I don't think so! While I don't doubt that the weather might get dicey, I'd rather not make too much of an issue of it until it gets here.

Just one outing today, and that includes buying clothes soap. Just going to trot down to that friendly Family Dollar this morning and get that. Then home to do school, make chocolate chip cookies and have either potato soup (postponed from yesterday) or split pea. Neither thrilling, but with yeast in the house, and plenty of flour, might make some fresh bread. That'd liven things up, I think.

With me being online less, I've been more inclined to keep the house up. Have a pretty good housecleaning record for the past little bit. Love getting it all spiffed up in the evening, so when I make my tea in the morning, the sink is empty and the living room is straight. Just makes my heart glad. Clutter makes me tetchy, and for a long time, I wasn't aware of what was bothering me. While we never get all things clean---the bedrooms are full UP!---the main living areas make me smile!

Now, time to get off this thing. :)
