As you can see, I am interested in the "spare/bare" look of future decorating around here. I am not actually going to get these shallow sinks. A friend has them and water splashes everywhere and you can't wash cashmere sweaters in the sink. Something I do often.
Riley and I are well fed and waiting for the storm to begin. We are having drizzle. Very light breezes. I saw on the news an hour ago that Pennsylvania is already having high winds. Which makes me wonder if the local stations are just trying to be "included" in the Big Storm as a way to gather viewers? High tide is now. Well, the first one. Second one is at 11 pm tonight. We are prepared for the worst.
I have a lovely 6 pound chuck roast in the oven, not the crock pot. My grocery had them on sale for $2.99 a pound. I have a cabbage to cut into cole slaw and potatoes to boil and mash for tonight's dinner. Plenty for leftovers by candlelight if the power goes off tomorrow. Whether I go to work tomorrow depends on doggie day care being open or not. The sun seems to be trying to shine. The last of the oak leaves are fluttering gently, but not much.
I'm still in my pajamas. Since I did the necessary grocery shopping last night after work, the only reason to go out is to pick up G's library book. I could just suggest he stop and get it on his way home from work. Breakfast was bacon, eggs and red grapefruit. I am having my second cup of coffee. The last load of laundry is in the dryer. I think I will change the bed sheets and get them into the washer.
What I want to do is travel down to the workroom and play with fabric for an hour or two. Perhaps even paint some fabric. I watched QA on PBS and saw Marsha Derse printing and painting fabric (in much the same way I do, except I don't use dyes or resists). Now I want some silk screen inks. I have the dye and resists if I seriously want to start down that path. I am just sort of "afraid" of the dyes.
I am trying to find a very simple flour less chocolate cake recipe to make for myself. One of the high school students had a small portion of the cake she made at school to share with me. She is just not sure the recipe she wrote out for me is correct. Eight ingredients. We have eight items in the recipe but L thinks there was melted chocolate AND cocoa. If we add the cocoa then we have nine items. So I have to either find a recipe that matches on the internet or wait until I see her again at work. Perhaps next Friday. Her little sample was delicious.
So, I am sending G and email to pick up his book. I am changing the bed sheets. I am going down to the workroom and see what I can find to do. A very lazy day.
It's now 5 pm and still not much wind. Drizzle. But the major wind will be after midnight. Sigh.
