I got tired of flogging myself thru all my aches and pains and nasal congestion/continuing infection and spent all day yesterday sleeping and DAMN it felt good!
Not that I'm any more productive today (altho I did fix a couple of sprinkler heads) but I sure feel better-rested and less achy. I should do that more often!

This reminded me of somebody explaining how innocuous cleaning agents are:

So hey - I just want to keep this closer to the top.
I know most of us can be somewhat irregular posters ... but Brenda, you're usually here. How 'ya doing? Well, I hope.

But I really think that's the kind of weather for sheltering, and for rest.
Cozy I can do when my chores outside are finished.
No rest for the wicked as the saying goes. Got some more donations to make before the snow comes if we get any this winter. But that is a good thing.

I'm doing okay. Sort of semi looking forward to Christmas and getting things done for that.

Thanks for posting back, Brenda! I'm glad you're well - and that it's holding off raining.

Made some meals that the family liked (and they're a picky bunch!). Today ws chicken and dumplings ... hubby hates chicken unless it's almost unrecognizable but today he asked for seconds, and there were no leftovers.
Yesterday was bbq pork with Greek-style salad, which usually begins with cucumber, celery, red pepper, cauliflower bits, and garbanzo beans but I had all kinds of other yummy things to throw in like kalamata olives, leftover tomato, leftover green onion, and avocado from the tree.
The day before that was hot and sour soup with tofu and spinach and green onion. (That's where the leftover green onions came from)
The day before than was vegetable lasagna, which dear daughter prepared. It's quite a complicated recipe and she did such a nice job!
Tomorrow it's beef and bean burrito, taking into account everyone's food allergies/sensitivities, of course ... no beef or red salsa or olives or lettuce for me (all allergies); no beans or salsa for dear daughter (sensitivities); no sour cream or olives for hubby (preference).
After that, chicken gumbo with Christmas limas from the garden (chicken bits for dear daughter) and okra, celery, turkey sausage, tomato bits, and leftover corn and whatever leftover vegetables I think will fit in with the soup.
I still can't taste anything, but I really like making food that others enjoy, and that's good for them.

Wow, Lady Rain, such a tease in these parts.
The 10-day weather forecast predicted rain for yesterday, today, and tomorrow, totaling something like 0.7". But the closer the storm got, the more it evaporated until we were at 0.13" scattered thunderhowers for this AM.
Well, the scattered thundershowers came and went ... barely disturbed the dust on the car. But then there was rain ... a LOT more rain than they predicted after the thundershowers went away. I put out my "rain gage" (it's just a flat-bottomed, straight-sided acrylic pencil holder) and it looks like we got 0.3" - not as much as originally predicted but a lot more than they finally thought. The first rain of the rainy season: YAY!

I was noticing that as well @ wunderground for my zip code. As I was checking over 3 days (sometimes a few times a day) it went from 95% chance of rain, to 80%, to 75%, to 70% ... and the predicted amounts kept dropping as well from about 0.75" to about 0.33". MOST of the rain was predicted to fall at night. So when I got up an saw barely a half inch of rain in my "rain gauge" (a somewhat less accurate straight-sided ball canning jar) I sighed a disappointed sigh. But about 10:00 I heard thunder in the west. And shortly thereafter we got some on-and-off thunderstorm downpours through about 14:00. My "rain gauge" now sits at about 1.75".
As I recall though, the many years of drought started with November rains ... and then ... nothing. So based on these rains I have no anticipation for what the future will bring.
Do you know of any long-term forecast? The only one I have is the Dallas Raines one I stumbled across from about 6 weeks ago where he was predicting another drought year at about half normal rainfall.
