ismoI tested myself again this morning, because I have or had a dentist appointment scheduled for Monday. The office is closed on Friday, and they require 48 hour notice for cancellations, or they will charge you a fee. Aaand the pesky little pink line was still there, bright and clear. I'm really not happy about this. It's not too surprising, because I don't really feel great, anyway. But I'm just tired of it. And when I conscientiously called the dentist to cancel the appointment, they didn't pick up. All I could do was leave a message and hope they got it.
Potato salad. Once again, this is my chief accomplishment of the day. I made another batch, because the Sparrowhawk likes it. He said I should just keep making it all summer. I told him I'd make it until he was tired of it. He made some sausage and sauerkraut, and we had sausages, sauerkraut, and potato salad for dinner. Well, it sort of has all the food groups, and I was in no mood for additional cookery. We sat in the back yard for awhile this afternoon, and sensed some weather coming. We folded up the chairs and put them flat on the ground, and brought the umbrella in on the porch before we came in.
After supper, we started watching the finale of the Amazing Race, because I'm not good for much but watching tv right now. However, the weather report took over our screen, and the tornado sirens started going off, so we have decamped to the basement with our flashlights and matches. The sirens are still going off, and they're telling us a tornado has crossed I-31. "This is your time to GET OFF THE HIGHWAY," said our weather lady charmingly. Lucky for us, our basement is quite cozy. There's a big finished room with a couch, a comfy bed, books, and games. In the laundry room, there's water and canned food. We also have a tv down there. So we're pretty comfy, and happy because the power is still on. The sirens are still going. We just hope no more trees will fall down in our vicinity.
