What have I done to prepare? Nothing. I went for a walk instead. Alone. A fat girl has her priorities.
I walked to Bottom Dollar. Apparently during last year's storm, with the back injury, I forgot to process pumpkin and put it in the freezer. How could that have happened? I had to buy canned pumpkin—the first time ever.
Why cookies? Why now? I have five international host students, from two schools, and I needed to make them a trick or treat. I thought pumpkin cookies were seasonal and not-holiday specific. Four are Chinese and one is from Yeman. Tonight I'm picking up Zahra and taking her to the Eid celebration at the Lafayettel. I thought I'd deliver the others today, just in case the storm does hit.
The walk to the store was fairly short. It's only about a mile one way, and maybe a mile and a half back. The route is a triangle. But it was good to get out.
I'll walk more when we get to campus. I want to show Zahra some of Easton and the Lafayette campus.
Not the normal five or six miles we get on a weekend, but not bad for a pre-Frankenstorm.
