Cause if it makes it worse, I suggest you just turn off the tv and radio and sort of arrest the progression of panic
I'm not sure. Husband has taken control of the TV, and I'm chatting with shrift. It's not like anyone has anything new to say, anyway.
I'd hate to be stuck in a stadium for days or weeks, but they tend to design them for worst-case scenarios. Safeco Field is supposedly one of the safest places in Seattle to be in a quake, and it wouldn't surprise me if the Superdome is the most hurricane-proof bit of NO.
Ack, that's hard, Dana. May shrift provide you with welcome mirth. Or porn. Whichever. Maybe just set aside certain allottments of news, no news the rest of the time.
In first world issues... I have a LOT of fresh sage this year. Someone please give me suggestions about what to do with it all.
Melt some butter, then put the sage leaves in it. Press the leaves gently with a spoon to release the flavors. Suddenly you have a tasty and elegant topping for pasta. Especially good as an accompaniment to lamb.
Also, dry some of it, send it to sageless people in need of sage.
They may even be able to work some sort of rosemary exchange.
(My rosemary is insane.)
I like throwing stuff like that into flower arrangements, too, to add some depth to the scent. Dill is really good for that, too.
Our rosemary is dying, so that sounds like a plan....
When is landfall supposed to be? And when is it supposed to have passed New Orleans?
I'm filled with a whole lot of
YOU CAN'T DO THAT! IT'S NEW ORLEANS
which doesn't seem to be fading. Perhaps I should coccoon, or else get a sense of perspective.
