Jim's Cafe - Saturday - October 14, 2023

[Angie]

Good morning! (afternoon/evening)

Its just after 6 am here and I am showered and dressed for the day.

Today I plan on making potato soup (its our first cold front of the year and soup appeals). Well, cooler front lol @charlietgirl doesn't consider 50f cold lol

Might ease up on news consumption for the day. The news is so frightening now. Prayers for all affected by violence in the world.

Will read some and knit and crochet.

Might still get that sweeping and washing done.

Whats on your agenda today?

Hello, @Angie. Thanks for opening the cafe again. It's getting quite cold here, so thinking of making soup, myself. I have been looking at recipes, but always best to get a tried and trusted one. Is it possible for you to share yours, if it's not too much trouble, please? Thank you.

Hey angie, soup sound like a terrific idea!
although the winter hasn’t reached the us yet(temps are still at 85F /30C) I’m going to take after you and make some soup :p
Well done for being so active and productive! I’m spending most of my day in bed with a book lol

 

[Livelife]

Yes, another soup day in Texas especially with the cool! I'm going to make a lentil.....

It's New Moon Solar Eclipse, happening peak time in about 3 hours and visible in US (Please don't look at it without protection, will harm the eyes.)
If interested, there's lots of different live group meditations happening online related to this annular Ring of Fire. I plan on doing a couple

Good afternoon. I just came back from dropping off some cat food at the humane society for the cats there. My remaining cat will have the smaller cans. I’m going to clean out the shed and get the snowblower ready for the season coming. I’m in a good mood today. I miss the boy cat but I have grieved and got to a good place. Going to be a relaxing day. Maybe I will even watch a movie.

Ey @Angie - @ all ,

Agreed with the bit on news consumption - I only read headlines (text) basically and not using sites that have too many pictures, videos combined with the headlines.

I had some sad & bad news earlier today, a counselor - aged 25 - passed away last night. I did one of the interviews with her for the job she had here at the place where I live - Have known them for more than a year. It'll affect many folk here in the special (assisted) housing unit ~ apartment complex.

I did decide to find a distraction elsewhere: Went out to shop for some new records: Vinyl LPs - It was nice to go out and listening to some of the new stuff now... Kinda in recovery now as far as my energy & emotional state is concerned.

Edit: and I will try to make a new Jim's Cafe next week somewhere But I will leave the Halloween themed cafe up to you guys/gals

I slept late and was lazy today, but I did chores yesterday. I did make ice cream today and yesterday I made a pot of chili so I did set up enchiladas for supper and ice cream for dessert. Got a quick nap and with the cool weather and things clear I may be out a little later today to watch the skies in case beings from my home planet come visiting.

Forgot to respond here yesterday but I had work, same as today. Yesterday I worked on homework in my downtime, and today I am studying for my quiz coming up tomorrow
