Here we are, sitting on the outer clouds of Isaac and I'm so looking forward to a couple of days of rain. Well, it's supposed to be like that---and rain makes me so happy. My insides get all settled and soothed when I hear it drumming on the house. My most peaceful days are rainy ones.
And pinto beans are soaking after a rapid boil. Will simmer them this afternoon and mash them a bit with onion/garlic, some southwest seasoning and a can of Rotel. Flour tortillas, cheese and sour cream will round that off. Comfort food, I call it.
But for now, need to get off my keester and get to work. There's dusting and re-arranging to finish that I began yesterday afternoon. Thankfully it's a tad cooler outside, so that the inside of the house, with the overcast skies, is more agreeable to work in.
That's my goal. I was just talking to Gary who's working on another vapor, and is getting a bit anxious about it. He's doing some inlay with crushed turquoise and it's kind of tiddly. Trying to finish up work to pay the bills---lots of repair work (which is our bread and butter), and still with build work for someone with a house in Mississippi. Still, he struggles with multi-tasking, worrying about tomorrow and fretting about stuff. I get it, but want him to be able to relax in what he's doing NOW and not look too awfully far ahead. That seems to work for me, well---when I actually practice it.
