Tammi's World

Normal. Nice and Normal

I'm a little confused.

I'm here, in The Belfry, with a fresh cup of coffee. I can smell the beef that is simmering on the stove. A senseless movie is playing on the TV and I'm....content.

It's the way it's supposed to be in Tammi's World. But it's been so long, I forgot how it felt.

Let me see if I can explain.

I've been on the go nonstop since, well, the end of August. Being gone so much it just didn't make sense to "set up house" as it were.

But now, I'm home until my trip the beginning of December (and that's a personal trip to boot!). So - I went to the grocery store on the way home last night. The first time I bought more than just a couple things since July. I have the makings for a big pot of beef stew, my bread is already rising and I'll be finishing up a batch of homemade granola later this morning. The only thing missing are the fresh flowers for my livingroom.

I was so excited that I get to cook and putter that I couldn't wait to get up this morning!

The weather is blustery. Cold, rain mixed with snow, very windy. Not a weekend to be out and about. And I can't tell you how good it is to know I don't have to. I have everything I need right here for now.

I need some down time. And this is the weekend. A little cookin', a little nappin', a little readin'. Just what the doctor ordered.

All is calm today in Tammi's World. Let's just hope we can keep this going for a couple days.

What's on the agenda for y'all this weekend?

UPDATE: The clouds are gone. It's cold and clear today. The blinds are all up and the sunshine is streaming through the windows. Still too cold for this girl to go out and play, and that's alright with me. But I didn't want to leave the impression it's a rainy, yicky day. Nope - just cold and crisp. Inside the Belfry the candles are burnin', the stew is simmerin' and the music is blarin'. It's a great day!!!
