Rain, Rain, Go Away

Today seemed like it could be a "normal" day.  Will off to school (albeit late), me working at home sorting papers and bagging leaves (in the rain).  Once I brought him home and fed him his "snack" meal, I called my sister-in-law, Marie, and asked if anyone was available to watch him while I went to the supermarket.  Jessie obliged and I bought missing ingredients needed for tonight's delicious dinner: garlic shrimp spaghetti.  I also bought some staples (eggs, flour) and some needed ingredients for chili.  Next is to make it, but I'm preparing two batches: one with beans for Maggie and one without for me.  There isn't much more to report today.  The sump pump is keeping pace with the basement inflows and my only worry is if we lose power since we had one lighting flash, but it was a while ago so I'm hoping we're safe.  I hear some fresh-baked sugar cookies coming out of the oven, baked from scratch by my beautiful and loving wife, so I'm off to see if I can have some!
