Bread and Butter for Breakfast and Where the Towels Live

 This entire recitation is way after breakfast! My life was as usual this morning, except I could hear pouring rain. Loud, beating rain. Well, I wouldn't be watering the plants this morning. Crash, flash, and the light was gone. The overhead light. 

I opened the bedroom curtain to dress. In the bathroom for a mug of water, I put my finger in the cup, not to overflow. Oh, the comedy, and no one there to enjoy it. Especially the automated power companies' automated outage reporting, to rescue myself and my neighbors.

Proceeding nevertheless, I acquired the cat for company as I passed the kitchen closet. His reaction to a midnight squall. In "his room" I replaced the kibble, used the finger dip to decide water would last, and for the first time ever pushed on the emergency light in the litter box closet. High noon!

Now it was my turn. My half hour with a cup of hot coffee, warm toast with butter and jam, and the current book. I dropped the bread in the toaster and...

After "breakfast" I went back to bed. Probably about ten o'clock. The cat came from under the bed this time and curled safely against my leg. At noon the overhead light lighted up, and so did I. Time for a new start, damn the thunder and rain.

Off to the kitchen, I opened the freezer door. No idea why. And there were the box of creme sticks, my reward for randomly opening the freezer. I took out another one for lunch, and the ingredients for crosatta--a bag of frozen blueberries in crosatta dressing and a frozen crust.

I ate lunch while the blueberries and crust thawed a bit, and then came to see if my computer still computes. Thunderstorms and flooding for the next several hours. Which explains:

Lunch is over, the crosatta is done. I wish you all a warmer and dryer Labor Day holiday. Be well. Take a deep breath and smell this crosatta.

And to tickle your heart, have a look at Where the Towels Live. My best, oldest friend has given off living in the south and moved back to summer sunshine and winter snow in northeastern Ohio.
