- Hmm. The long-range weather forecast for Saturday suggests "a chance of rain," whereas Sunday will be mostly sunny. Also, I've been given an after-hours project at work that includes working on Saturdays. This all suggests I'll be going to Salem this Sunday instead of Saturday. That's not a problem, since I have Monday off for Halloween anyway. I could just do my pumpkin carving on Saturday afternoon, if need be. If I get out of work at around 1:00 PM on Saturday and the weather is nice, I could still go them; I'll just leave it open. (The after hours project will give me a lot of overtime, at least, which will be handy since my birthday is coming up. An excuse to splurge. )
- Meanwhile, tonight I'll probably make my favorite standby of Spinach Hash, while preparing to marinate a steak for the Cast Iron Cooking 1,000-member celebration. Looking forward to it.
- Meanwhile meanwhile , I'm thinking my sigil for this coming weekend should be something vague and non-specific, both because I'm still a beginner to this and also to leave a mystery as to whether or not the "magic" is having an effect.
- There was a definite chill in the air last night, the first one of the fall season. I broke out my sweatshirt for the first time. It's getting close to the start of my personal five month "winter clock," which lasts from November 1 through March 31. On the plus side, I came across this wonderfully decadent recipe that would warm anyone up: peanut butter hot chocolate.
