Not in a Teapot

\"teapot

Not in a teapot, the current tempest out there! It\’s much bigger than that.

We\’re now under hurricane warning. Tropical storm conditions, and possibly hurricane conditions, are expected tomorrow; with T-storms all day long.

No outdoor riding tomorrow, I guess. Not if the lightning will be cracking all around! Even without lightning, heavy rain wreaks havoc on visibility; and by early afternoon, the wind will be quite strong. Power outage, anyone?

My employer says, work remotely tomorrow. Since I don\’t anticipate being able to get my usual morning ride, I can sleep a little later! My \”commute\” will be a few steps, instead of 2.75 miles.

Before I go to bed, I can set up my not in a teapot green tea: one green tea bag per pint of water; steeped in the fridge overnight. I\’m trying, admittedly not very successfully, to drink more of that tea and less Diet Coke. The latter isn\’t good for my teeth, for one thing.

Being at home all day will make it easier for me to get my diet back on track. Yesterday I broke loose with candy; this evening I got Chinese takeout for supper. For several days I\’ve felt tired and light-headed no matter what I ate, and decided that it might help if I stuffed myself for once.

If I\’m to fix proper meals I\’d better get in there and clean up the kitchen. It\’s no fun trying to cook when the kitchen is a mess.
