Technically, I guess she's not a hurricane. But she was supposed to become one. I'm sitting at home baking cookies, because all the clients cancelled and half the audiologists didn't come in due to Fay. But now I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone. I wake up expecting hurricane force winds and dark clouds-- it's not even raining. You can feel electricity in the air, though. That feeling that something big is about to happen. The schools are closed, it's kind of a weird yellow overcast sky, and the streets are generally calm. It's strange to say the least. It's one of those unexpected days where you can catch up on things you put off for so long. My roommate washed the dogs. We are having the repairman come and fix the sink. And I am making crazy flaxseed cookies. Here's the recipe (trainer approved):

I am waiting for the first batch to come out of the oven. Got milk?
