poltr1We got about 2 inches (5 cm) of snow in Dayton yesterday and this morning. Yet I'm acting as if we got two feet (60 cm) of snow. I'm staying inside, not going out very much, and getting stuff done at home. Last night, I made a trip to Kroger to get some groceries after dropping off my daughter with her mom. Today I made another trip to Kroger to get a few more groceries -- items that weren't on my list last night.
There's really not a lot of shopping I want to do now. Money's a bit tight right now, and I need to concentrate on getting what I *need* and not what I *want*. I have food at home, and I should work on eating that instead of going out for lunches and dinners.
Somewhere I have it in my head that I'm snowed in, like I was during the Blizzards of '77 and '85. I don't know why. Maybe I just feel like staying at home and tackling the things that need to get done, instead of avoiding them by going out. Believe me, there's plenty of things that can be done. Having things to do at home is my hedge against getting cabin fever.
In the meantime, I brought out the bread maker and made two loaves of bread. I also made chicken pot pie casserole, varying a recipe I obtained from a cookbook. And I cleaned up -- and cleaned out -- the kitchen.
