My Mom made a lot of tapioca pudding when I was a kid, so for me it falls in the comfort food category.

Another really cold night, so the dogs will come in. Last night I didn't close the bedroom door and they stayed put in their beds. They're such creatures of habit now, going to bed when it's dark out, that even though they're in the house they go to bed and stay asleep all night. They spent most of the day outside, indicating that they wanted out, even though it hovered around freezing all day. It's what they're used to, and is more interesting with squirrels and cats to bark at.

There is a stack of backpacks still in the hall, evicted from the closet during tje sorting and stacking the holiday ornaments, so tomorrow I'll find a place for them to live. I'll cull a few I never use.

Laundry is finished tonight, I did some shopping, and I finished a couple of things for work this evening that I was tired of looking at. I listened to the Obama speech. One couldn't help but think that the Obama girls were in his mind when he spoke of the 9-year-old who was killed.
