Tuesday

The day's promised thunderstorms arrived a couple of hours ago. It's raining hard, and we didn't need it. The dog towels that I laundered on Sunday have already been washed again, and the kitchen and dining room floor look like absolute crap.

Because of the lack of warmth and sun, I finally broke down and set up the grow light for the seed tray. I don't know if it helped or not, but several pepper and tomato seeds have sprouted. If all the current hatchlings survive, I'll have more than enough to plant next month.

Heard that Elisabeth Sladen, who played Sarah Jane Smith on Dr Who, passed away today. I liked her. I *think* she was my first companion. I started watching Dr Who during the Tom Baker years, and she traveled with him for a time.

Now to work, with occasional checks of the media to see if the Blackhawks live to skate another day.
