Getting ready.

.

I have a few tasks to manage today. A bill NEEDS to be paid. Since I cannot get up early enough to get in and pay it, I will have to send it. As well, I need to get my printer working in order to print something else I need to send. As well, a shower and grooming needs to happen so that I can go shooting. My friend is chewing at the bit to get out and put some down range. It looks like it will rain again, but I will risk it. Who knows. Oh, I called my mom this morning and told her I was buying a pressure cooker. Years back she had forced me to promise I would never buy one. I explained that this was a newfangled one, which could not open while hot and would not explode. Plus, I think she finally realizes that, at least when I cook, I am rather... well grounded. I think I have impressed her with my attention to the affair (when as she suggests I get off my lazy butt and get to it). She is good, and busy. She now drives several of the elderly around, keeping 80 and 90 year olds off the roads. Hey, someone has to do it and she loves people and company... and shopping. Doh!

I did not get the last few dishes done or soak beans. Oh well. I finished off the rice for breakfast so I need to cook more of that, after cleaning that pot too, but later, and as always, maybe. I will be soaking beans in a few moments. I need those long storing food stuffs, it is the only way I can keep up. Sam is out for a run, Sassy got milk. I am hoping Sam will come in as I am heading out so I can put her in before, if my suspicions are correct, it rains and she goes to ground and refuses to come in for another day or two. Neither Sam nor I like that situation.

Well, off and on it... I... think? Bah. Let me put on the beans and look for the printer software. Stinking failing machines! Later.
