Cold this morning? Certainly cool. Then warming. And if the giant ball of nuclear fire is in the sky, then it will feel hot. Like yesterday. While it was cool to chilly in the shade, the sun poking through the clouds was like a heat lamp and I was the entree sitting on the cutting board. I might even have a little tightness to the skin on my neck and shoulders. I’m really glad it wasn’t sunny for longer.
I thought I had a plan in place for yesterday, but I was wrong. On the other hand, I spent a few hours with my lovely wife watching other kids perform, and about 15 minutes watching my kid do her thing. All while sitting comfortably (mostly) outdoors. Took a while to get home after, as traffic leaving the event was poorly managed. I did some quick auction stuff, then read for a while while waiting for kids to get home.
Today I’ll sleep in a bit, then do what I can to get the house back into shape. It’s currently disrupted by the laundry/entry/pantry project, and all the holiday decorations. Just getting all those back into the attic will help. Getting the entry/laundry finished and back together will put even more stuff back where it belongs. Oh, and I should make something nice for dinner.
If I can get anything off the list it will be a bonus.
We’ll also begin to see if there will be widespread or localized madness in the stores or the streets. W says her socials are mostly emphasizing food bank donations to fill any gaps. I wonder how long that will last as people see just who has been spending their tax dollars, and on what. Trump has once again disrupted the status quo and focused attention on something that has been building for a long time without oversight. The ugly truth of the abuse of SNAP will last even if people forget that Orangemanbad was the one who flipped over the rock.
I’ll keep stacking and adding to my stored resources. You should too.
