Yesterday, finally had to collapse. A very slow day, did my laundry (including the sheets) and was going to watch some screeners, but got tired and decided to watch PBS Create: Lidia Bastianich and America's Test Kitchen. (The America's Test Kitchen recipe for the one-pot macaroni-and-cheese remains a favorite.) But by ten-thirty, was just so tired that i went to bed. I think i needed that. Woke up around eight-thirty. It's a soggy day, but the storm systems which have decimated the rest of the country seem to be going over gently in the NYC area. So far, we've had rain, but nothing catastrophic. Is it too much to hope this will continue?
