Mist

Posted at 7:38 pm MDT to Weather

This morning the clouds were walking. I could see my neighbors' houses a few hundred feet away, but not much farther. It burned off by early afternoon.

There were predictions of snow for this weekend: I'll gladly take mist instead. Actually, I wouldn't mind a little rain, while the weather has decided to be warmish. Better an inch of rain than a foot of snow, and March which is supposed to be one of our wet months, has been dry so far.

I have more energy this weekend than I did last week (I think I've got the St. John's Wort dosage about right) but I'm taking it easy, and not thinking about work today if I can avoid it. Tomorrow I need to shop, for veggies to go with my corned beef on Monday and also for some fresh duct tape for my dryer vent duct (which has pulled apart) so I can do some laundry.

Today I shopped online. I finally ordered the additional spice tins I've been needing for a few weeks.

I re-subscribed to Cook's Illustrated (after a gap of a few years) and paid for access to their online sites, and told them to send me a sample of their sister magazine Cook's Country. I discovered back in January that one of the local PBS stations carries the Cook's Illustrated TV show, America's Test Kitchen and I was watching Test Kitchen episodes today so that I could delete them and free up space on the DVR. They have all of the TV recipes on-line, and they also have all of the episodes on-line so that if you want to try a recipe you can follow along as they demonstrate the techniques and pause or rewind whenever you want.

I'm not going to make any serious decisions about things until after the acupuncture on Monday. Making decisions when you know your brain chemistry is hosed is a stupid as making them drunk.
