Monday's muses

 Fortunately for me I do not have my assist,inc meeting tomorrow. The staff have taken off and gone somewhere to do some sort of Good Samaritan work as a team building exercise for the staff. This works for me as I'm in the middle of my monthly letter writing project. I had a little problem with my computer today so I wasn't able to get as far along as I would have liked. For some reason the envelopes are trying to address kept jamming up the printer. I stuck it out however and finally got all the envelopes addressed. I basically have the letters dictated now I just have to go into the print phase which at this juncture I hope to have done tomorrow. I will use the time that I would have spent traveling and attending the meeting at Assist.Inc This afternoon I had to go across the street and purchase more stamps. I typically purchase a book of stamps at a time this usually lasts at least through two mail-outs. So maybe I'm okay now till the first of the year. I'm hoping I will not run into any more obstacles tomorrow and maybe have the letters completed and then the outbox tomorrow night to be picked up on Wednesday morning. With any luck the kids at least some of the kids will get their Letters by the 1st of November.

I have just about finished the chili that I made last week. It's really been great to have so much food to use at any time. I mean I'll have to do is go to the refrigerator and pull out the chili put a couple spoonfuls in paper bowl microwave and there's dinner it really added a lot more to the meal when I finish the cornbread. In the interim I have purchased a couple more cans of chili to have for backup. Even though it wasn't that hard to make the chili the process is really quite a production, at least for me. My kitchen is still not recovered. My next project I think is to maybe do a Crock-Pot meatloaf. I didn't know how to do that but I saw somewhere on the internet that indeed one could and this person used a larger crock pot to achieve this meal. I'd also like to consider some other larger cooking projects that the larger Crock-Pot could handle. Possibly some roasts, stews another heavy meat based products. I've hardly used the larger Crock-Pot over the years. Now I think I'll give it a run for its money and see how glorious meals I can make.

I'm pretty excited about not having my meeting tomorrow I'm working on my letter project. The inclement weather is supposed to move on however cold front is what pushed it out this morning and the Mercury is to drop significantly tonight say goodbye to your vegetable garden Elsie it's going to get cold. All I can deal with a hurricane like Melissa that's another battled entirely..
