Better.

Maybe I should write about contentious issues more often. Yesterday's post had a bit of a cathartic effect on me and I felt a little lighter after writing it. Thank you all for the thoughtful comments. For the next few days I'm going to try my best to avoid politics altogether, for my own mental health.

It's a warm, gray sky Sunday afternoon here, and my neighborhood seems oddly quiet. The dogs are sleeping at my feet--little do they know I'm getting ready to give them both baths. Ginger has her yearly vet trip for an exam and shots tomorrow, so I want her to look her best. And if I'm already geared up for washing one dog, I may as well wash the other. There's also a load or two of laundry calling my name, but that's about it for the chores.

I've done a good bit of cooking over the past couple of days so tonight's dinner is already done. I made a big crockpot full of vegetarian chili on Friday and it gets better with each passing day. I also baked a loaf of banana bread and a loaf of pumpkin chocolate chip bread last night. I've been craving fall foods even though our weather hasn't gotten the message that summer is over yet.

I'm not sure what I'll do later in the afternoon after finishing the laundry. I'm debating either going to the bookstore to find something new to read, or else just staying in and watching a movie. Either way, I plan to try to have a relaxing Sunday afternoon. Another work week is upon us already!

Have a good one, everyone.

  1. Sometimes you just gotta let off some steam. Then have a bowl of chili and some banana bread!

  2. Your banana and pumpkin breads look tasty. I have so many apples in my new garden I'm going to attempt an apple cake next week.

  7. Mmmm, I'd love to try your banana bread and the pumpkin one, it sounds very unusual.
    Only another three working weeks for me before I'll be off to Yorkshire for my next holiday - I am turning into a lady of leisure!

  8. Great to get it out of your head... and to eat bumpkin and banana bread. My mouth is watering.

  9. I just finished two pieces of pumpkin chocolate chip bread that my DIL made. I wonder why they call it bread, as it is sweet like a cake. It was yummy!

    I hope you have a good day, Jennifer.

  11. Well, I thought I left a comment here yesterday but I guess I didn’t. I thought a comment. Does that count?

  12. I know how you feel about the weather. I made a pot roast the other day in spite of the 90 plus degree weather. That pumpkin chocolate chip bread looks really good.
