Summer's End and Cooking

6:45 am

                Ok. Last day of summer. Well for me anyway. I decided that I won’t go in to mhc today. Save it for tomorrow, soon enough. Today I will try to GET EVERYTHING DONE. Right. I am just so nervous and sad about summer ending and I didn’t get enough done and things are going to be so tight now. But then on the other hand, it might be better once it gets busier and I won’t have time to feel crummy. It’ll just be too busy for that. I ought to come up with a meal plan for the week. You know, it seems like after 35 years of coming up with meals for myself, 26 years (make that more like 27 or 28) of cooking for me and K, I would have it somewhat down. But I don’t. I still stress about it. K does not actually like the things I cook. And now with G around, she does not either. Well. I guess after I write this and meditate

                *Ooo a silly wren just flew right into the sun room and flapped around at the window for a bit. I had to ease it out. Silly wren.

                Anyway, as I was saying, I guess I can come up with some sort of meal plan. And maybe even do a shop later. We cooked a steak from the meat share last night and G came up with a rub of black pepper, herbs, garlic, paprika to put on it. It was good and she liked it much better that way. A tad spicy for me, but I did not have any butt burn from it. And yet I had the wicked burn after eating at Judie’s. So what was that from? The tomatoes? But I had a tomato sandwich yesterday and no problem. Maybe just not having psillium at the right time was the trouble. Or the glass of wine. It is so hard to figure. Or the apple butter that went with the popover.

                I finished 3 skeins of the soft brown/grey stuff (Bathsheba). It is nice, kind of dull. I will wind it off and start on the next 3. I finished the latest hat and I think next I will knit a scarf – big needles, lace pattern – from the dark gray angora. And I need to knit up the small skein of gray to make the knit bunny for D. Funny, I did not buy any wool this year (oh, I lie, I bought roving for my class) and I’ve been spinning all summer and I still have an entire wall of boxes of fleeces. I should do like the B from spin group and only spin from my stash from now on. She figures she just might manage to spin all of what she has before she dies (she’s maybe 70). Same for me at this rate. Well, I’ve mostly been doing angora lately, since I finished the blue. I still have all that lichen stuff that I carded at the farm to spin. Lovely.

                I just feel so nervous. It is change that brings that on. Even though I know the change will be ok. Change itself is not so bad, it is anticipating it.
