Slumdog Millionaire

Today began with Brie waking me by standing on my chest. She then curled up in my armpit. I noticed the rain had arrived—it was pouring outside. I didn’t do any morning exercises this morning. Instead I just enjoyed the fact that Brie was wanting my attention.

The reason Brie was with me was that Penny was sleeping in the den. That means she had trouble sleeping and left so she wouldn’t disturb me. She’s considerate like that.


When I finally got up I made pecan pancakes topped with raspberry syrup.

Penny and I went off to do productive stuff for a while. She made sauce to have with the ravioli she made over the weekend.

Although the rain was long gone we still did the rainy day movie thing. We saw Slumdog Millionaire—a great movie. It deserves all the hype it’s getting.

Right now I’ve got dough rising for a batch of crusty bread. It’s a recipe I’m trying for a first time. I’ll bake it in the morning and we will have it with the pasta fagioli that we have in the fridge. Are we food-oriented or what?

The roof work I did appears to have fixed the problem we were having. Before the work water would continue to drip on the back patio for hours after rain had stopped. I would end up with wet footprints on me from the kitties when I fed them. Tonight the patio was dry. Meredith did not leave little wet footprints on me.
