Let's Make It A Fabulous Tuesday - Thoughts and More Randomness

 It's a swimming today, so it'e the usual time-choked post today. That's OK. They can't all be "Gone With the Wind", sometimes they're more like "Aesop's Fables". Today will be shorter, for sure. 

"Gone With the Wind" and "Aesop's Fables" both 
teach lessons and life choices. One is a tome, 
the other a pamphlet in comparison, yet both 
have their lessons to impart. Sometimes days 
are like that too. Today will be more of an 
"Aesop's Fables" kind of day. 

It's crazy weather time here in the Upper Midwest. We had temps in the 70's on Sunday, thus my sitting in the backyard on Sunday which resulted in many of yesterday's photos. It was 64 F when I left for work yesterday, fell steadily throughout the day and was 50 F when I left. It's now 39 F. BUT, in a typical turn-around, that will be the low of the day and we'll actually warm up to 50 F by the middle of the afternoon. It looks like it will be quite a tolerable week for the temps, and I'm grateful. We've had snow by now in years past and as far as I'm concerned, the white stuff can take its' time coming this year (even though we're in a drought and need all of the water we can get). 

We're going to get moisture at this time of the year, and 
I would prefer it as rain rather than as snow. That's all 
temperature dependent, of course, but so far our temps 
have been cooperating. I really would like to avoid 
another snowfall until AFTER Halloween. 

I'm thinking about making two other soups plus a chili tomorrow, although that might be some overkill. I do have to make the "Roasted Peppers and Tomatoes" soup because I have the ingredients for it. I also need to make my Avocado soup - again because the 'avos' are sitting in the refrigerator shaking their fruity fingers at me. Maybe I'll do the two veggie soups tomorrow and a chili on Friday. Hmmmmm....

The roasted peppers soup recipe sounds like the 
perfect soup for a cold day. I've got the peppers 
and tomatoes, and they've got to be cooked before 
much longer, so it'll be a day in the kitchen on 
Wednesday, making two more of the soups. I need 
some more storage containers before I can to 
crazy, though. I'm missing lids for one type and 
a body for another type - frustrating! 

So far so good with the new separators for my teeth. They seem to be stable and I'm cleaning my teeth very carefully around them to try and keep my gums in decent condition. Of course, that's limited right now, but I can hardly wait until the 2nd when I can just get rid of the separators and get my braces installed. I'm sure there will be discomfort and it'll be another adjustment, but damn - I want to be able to eat something other than soup, I'm just being very cautious now because I don't want to jinx this procedure at all. 

I hope I have nice customers today. I had 
some great ones yesterday and was kept 
busy all day. That's how I like it. 

So, I'm out of here. Have a wonderful, fantastic and glorious Tuesday. Tuesdays so often get swept under the carpet between the weekend that was and the weekend that is to come. Let's give Tuesday a cheer, and live it to the maximum today. Spread kindness and joy and I'll be back tomorrow. Slava Ukraini.
