Well, it's been a pretty good day, DR Jrand72 found a fan, and I had two successful rides. I liked Dr Vidada very much. She put drops in my eyes, took a few photos and asked me if Ocy. 17 was a good day for my first surgery (left eye first). I told her I needed to check my calendar, so her assistant Sereka will call me,

I got soaked from the rain on my first trip while the driver helped me onto the van. By the second trip, the rain was over, but the driver was not as friendly as the first one. Anyway, I'm hone.

Well, the seasons they are a-changin'.

Following weeks or months (it felt like months) of hot weather and drought conditions, we are welcoming fall with temps in the high 60s, and 24 to 36 hours of nonstop rain. Flash flood warnings abound, and fortunately (KNOCK WOOD) this house is on a hill and we do not have flooding problems. But the driving last night was some of the worst rain-at-night driving I've known. Not THE worst, but among the worst.

And this morning at 6:40 am, I heard a beep from something in the room, and then the generator started up. Power outage! But it lasted only one minute, and so far, there has been no repeat of it.

I am glad you made it home ok.

I got my apron out of retirement this morning to bake for a gathering tonight.

I always make gluten-free treats from a mix so I don't accidentally make a mistake. I'm very careful about preparing them. I got a new mix today: some kind of chocolate chip cookie made by a major brand.

They were so fragile when they came out of the oven a couple of them split. I pushed them back together hoping they'll stick together when cool. But one of them fell completely apart. So I tasted it. My goodness! It was AWFUL. Just AWFUL. I don't even know if I'll put them out tonight.

The mix was over $5, and it made 12 cookies.

What a shame.

I mean, I'll ruin my reputation as a baker if I put those gluten-free things out. They may go in the trash.

Absolutely trash them.

It’s supposed to last 15-20 years though, so I suppose it’s the last time we’ll be buying a mattress

The queen-size mattress that I have is a hand-me-down that I got from my sister's boyfriend shortly after (around the time?) I moved into my condo 16 years ago. 

Is it still comfortable?

Or can you compost them?  Then, at least they're not a complete and total waste.

It is.  I put a memory foam mattress topper on it, and it's helped to keep it comfortable.

It’s Zola’s Germinal, which seems like the he French equivalent of Blood Meridian.
