An afternoon of shopping, making the rounds and amazingly got everything on my shopping list - that I left behind on the kitchen counter. "Slow carb" vegetables and organic strawberries, good Czech sausage links from the restaurant supply near me and in between those a couple of other stops. Dropped off groceries for my ex who was complaining of a sinus headache today. Anyway, tonight and tomorrow will be for food prep (washing, coring, and freezing seven pounds of strawberries and making a batch of marinara sauce. I bought a case of 8 pounds and one was for my ex. The rest for my freezer.)

With sugar and flour out of my diet the sodium in foods doesn't push my blood pressure up much. I'm not going crazy with salt, but am glad to have sausages back on my plate. I picked up sauerkraut to go with them.

This is the weekend that Autumn dictates a shift in bedding. I didn't sleep well last night and think it had to do with my feet being a bit cold. The thermal blanket will go on today and the antique cotton summer cover is going through the laundry (on delicate - one of these days it will completely turn to shreds, it's so old and thin, but I love it.) It's also a good time to once-over with the vacuum in there on my good Persian carpet and my exercise carpet.

Before heading out today I washed the outside upper half of the window in the front room and put one of my Harris/Walz signs in it for now. Until Oct. 5 I can't put them in the yard, but they will go out exactly on that day, set so neighbors coming and going can see them clearly. I've seen more Harris signs than Trump signs so far around Fort Worth proper (where they can put out signs earlier). I wore my KAM47A shirt out shopping today and got a couple of smiling nods of approval. :)

It looks like an outer band of tropical storm Helene is passing over the US/Canada border around Toronto and give Detroit a good soak. We haven't heard from Maryanne Dunmire in ages, but she's probably getting wet about now. Is any of it going to shift further and hit Charmion or Linn?
