A storm system blew through town this morning, dropping around half an inch of rain behind door-slamming winds. The rains have departed, leaving blue skies in their wake, but the wind continues, though slightly abated. Trees are still dancing. Doors and windows are shut, furnace inactive, temp rising to about 80°F.

At the same time as the flurry, my respiratory system was screaming with a reaction to the vaccination. Prior to that, I thought I was getting off easy with only a sore arm and a very mild headache. A wild morning, to say the least. I can feel a slight residual, but it abated to bearable levels within 20 minutes. This one has turned out slightly stronger than #2. Sleep helps.

I got the freezers squared away.
.

Yes, three cartons of Blue Bell, Strawberry Cheesecake, Coconut Cream Pie, Homemade Vanilla (for the strawberry puree). The onion rings in the door is a milestone trophy, something I could never justify with a single freezer. Curly fries are next, along with breaded finger steaks, fried cheese sticks, etc. Call it “showing-off platters”, a mix of six or seven quick fix finger food items to a plate. Not a steady staple, rather a novelty meal every now and then.

The bags in the top loader are (bottom, L to R) roasted chicken quarters, steaks, ground chuck, (top) marinated pork tenderloin and ham, turkey. The sorted bags of bags makes finding stuff much easier, and nothing gets top loader lost down at the bottom. No ice trays for the winter, loading the ice bin from the bags with the scoop. Fingers stay much warmer. The wood mallet arrived yesterday, perfect timing, nice mallet.

Chores are done. I have the rest of the day off. Lunch was the chicken/broccoli rice dish, quite satisfying. Dinner TBD. Poundcake with strawberry puree and whipped cream for the afternoon snack.
