I am getting ready to bundle up today. The temps are going to be dropping like a stone. Mid-50*s to 19* Brrr. I hope that it warms back up by the weekend so I can finish up raking the leaves. I was thinking that I should go out there yesterday but the wind will blow them all around today anyway.
Instead, I climbed up onto the kitchen counter and scrubbed the dusty grease from the top on the cabinets over the stove. I am not putting any of the decorations back up there unless it is *clean.* I started a box of some items that I don't want for donations. People gave me loads of Disney mugs and glasses over the years that were up there as well as some rusted-on-the-inside Mickey tea kettles. One bin for garbage/recycling, the other for donations.
Gary had to run to the local hardware store because our water filtration is leaking. I was so tempted to go with him and get the paint I want for above the island cabinets. I might go tomorrow. Today I am food shopping and then, I want to finish up the trim in the hallway.
We ate at the DR table last night, first time in a long time since it had been covered paint cans for a week. Cait had made a joke (but said so seriously my jaw dropped) that women shouldn't be scientists. This was right after Scott was talking about his female Environmental Chem professor. He was also joking but deadpan. I had to interrupt b/c I know that *structurally* there is no difference between male/female brains. I learned that from helping Cait study Neuro Pysch last semester. Scott thought that men had more grey matter and women had more white matter and that turned into a huge discussion of how neural networks grow based on different learning experiences. And so on. Gary and my heads were like watching a tennis match between the two of them. Fascinating. Then it turned into a discussion of how geologists "eat rocks." You know-- balance
ound:
(In case you were missing this bit of trivia in life, geologists will lick/taste rocks to determine their mineral content, For one of his Geo classes, Scott has to do that to ID samples. Which led to many jokes of how he eats rocks. Just a normal occurrence in the Faery Household ya know.)
So that is about it. Have a fab day and stay warm if this Arctic Blast is oming your way too. Hugs!
