It sounds like you've pared down to the essentials, Charmion, the objects to serve you as prompts for stories and memories.

I made another batch of granola after running to the store for a couple of types of nuts, only to realize that I was almost out of oatmeal. I used just one cup (I've been using three) but added a half-cup of ground flax seed (I haven't tried it before). I reduced the amount of oil and honey, but it's still kind of damp. Tomorrow after another trip for oatmeal I may try toasting some and mixing it in. For now most of the batch is in the freezer and part is in a bin on the counter to see how it looks in the morning. It tastes good. Very low carb at this point.

The kitchen table is a little better after tossing old mail and papers into the recycling bin, but there is more to do. The books are for a care package to my son soon, so I suppose I could get a box and start loading it (someplace other than on the table).

Humid around here today; that rain all seems to have stayed suspended in the air, didn't soak into the yard.
