Zorro was a trooper today. Had to drive to the travelling vet’s home for a blood sample. I’ve managed to be her assistant in the past, being the “scruffer” while she draws blood, but I just couldn’t take it anymore. I’m a complete nervous wreck and a wuss and Zorro knows it and takes advantage. Better to have an objective assistant, who turned out to be a teenager! …In and out in five seconds.

DD wanted to make grilled cheese for lunch today so I heated up a can of tomato soup for us all. I had the sprinklers going outside to water the new grass seed and it unexpectedly started raining; so this was a pretty perfect lunch.

Yesterday was about the same with unexpected rain so I had minestrone soup. I know spring should have rain and not be too warm; but this feels more like comfort food weather.

I've been eating low-sodium for some time now. Yesterday's soup left me SO thirsty!! I really need to make my own soups but it's just so convenient to pop open a can when I want it.

I buy plastic containers with lids and then use them to freeze portions of soup, chili etc. That way you can grab a container from the freezer as easily as a can from the pantry and they only take a few minutes to thaw and heat up in the microwave.

Be safe! Hope it’s a comfy basement w books n food! Let us know you’re safe!!!
Thanks. It’s safe but a little short on the comfy. Because it has big windows I need to huddle in one corner. But I do have my IPad and phone to entertain me. Took this picture last night to send to my son.

Well, it looks STURDY. I can’t imagine what it’s like.

Basements aren't common here and our "shelter" is the master closet. We don't get large tornados here; but we've had one a mile north and south of us now so that's enough for me. 🤪 I know basements can come with their own set of issues; but if we ever move I would really prefer a place that has one. If we build; maybe that could be a requirement.

Okay, but seriously, my daughter will eat:
Rocks
Wood chips
Dandelions
Chalk

She will not eat
Melted cheese.

She ate some when it was super saucy, but I failed at my sauce today and she barely ate any.

I also tried melted on a tortilla.

Super annoying. I don't understand toddlers.

Lari Lari OH, my Darling Girl! I have come to the conclusion that we are not supposed to understand toddlers. If we did, we'd be terrified of them!

Another night of storms. The upside? There's a cat in my lap. The downside? The cat in my lap is attempting to burrow THROUGH me.

The Thursday night storms were something else, that's for sure. I don't have any damage except a tree down, but it's an ash so it had borer damage.

A lot of nearby towns had severe damage though.
Whew! Good to “see” you, W Willowy ! I was wondering how you fared.

Glad it didn’t land on anything! Big storms here two nights in a row but no damage for me either.

My mom tells me that when I was a toddler I used to love to eat dry dog food.
Maybe pour cheese sauce on that and give it a try. :flail:
