FREEZE!

What is the world coming to? Freeze warning tonight, 20's or 30's. I don't think it's ever been that cold in Phoenix since I moved here. Well, maybe once or twice in 20 years. Creepy.

Another creepy thing? Lady likes grapefruit, if I peel off the thin membrane, which I did today and swear I will never do again. That's just too much. She's craziest about nuts, any kind. She and Grumpy feast on pistachios together. Oranges too, but grapefruit? It took me a lifetime to develop a taste for them.

I've stayed home all day, avoiding people wishing me a Merry, content with my NPR, computer fiddling, picking at a poem, cleaning the kitchen. I made food for breakfast, turkey stew, lovely. Maybe I'm about to start cooking again? Grumpy pissed me off months ago rejecting anything with cumin or any other "weird" additive. I love cumin. I have a long memory, a bit much. I've been in house refusal status for months and months, but I got busy with a broom day before yesterday and swept up the heap of grass Lady has rolled in and deposited in the living room. Bedroom next. I have no explanation, just observing myself.
