Chili with beef and kidney beans
Slice of coarse white bread

Yesterday evening as I was finishing my asparagus sandwich we had a storm come through. It wasn't very strong here but our power died and wasn't restored until the wee hours. Ducky seemed confused/worried by the battery lights. He stands with his mouth opened and the lower jaw moves up and down when he's unsure of stuff. Some treats helped.

I had the dish washer and laundry going and needed to get that all sorted when the power got back. I ended up having little sleep. I even remembered to get the partially refrozen masses of cubes out of the ice maker this morning before they became block ice. It's going to be an early bed tonight.
