Shelter from the Storm
The weather forecasters keep saying that it's going to storm today, but so far, nada. It's bright and sunny out.
Zara is trying to insert a "feed me!" thought into my brain.
Read a little Harry Potter in Italian. I need to make flash cards of some of the words.
I'm feeling low energy today. I need to do some cooking, but I need to gather the energy. Oops. I needed to thaw peas for the quinoa salad. I guess that I'll cook it tomorrow. I'll start on the chicken salad because it requires lots of chopping and cooking chicken breasts.
I hear rumbling in the distance. Here comes the rain. There was a loud thunderclap, and Mimi is looking for a place to hide.
The chicken has cooked, and I have everything chopped for the chicken salad except the chicken, which is cooling. The chicken salad has vanilla yogurt, an apple, cranberries, almonds, fresh rosemary, and honey in it, so it should be good. I tried a spoonful with the chicken in it, and it is delicious!
I signed up for mental health classes online from Open Path. I'm working on the one about self-esteem.
Mom is doing well. The swelling in her legs has gone down, and she's walking better. She said that she is really enjoying life.
I'm tired, so I'm going to get up early to study Italian.
