I make a big batch each time. Very, very yummy. My body's craving it. I had some sort of bug or something this week, and was pretty miserable. It's gone now, but the craving for chicken soup isn't.
We've had lots of rain this week; more is coming in tonight through Tuesday. The Rogue River, just a hundred yards in front of our rig, is slowly swelling. It's a beautiful, wild, young river, and I've cherished all the years I've lived next to it.
I'll be calculating a new average pageview number next week for this blog, one that will surely be going up. The average daily pageviews stand right now at 42. It's taken a beating, that number. This blog is growing. I'm grateful for that.
A day off tomorrow. We're smack-dab in the middle of the Silly Season, and I'm doing ... all right. I personally celebrate the Solstice more than Christmas or any other holiday. But I was raised as a Christian, and have very strong memories of Christmas from my childhood. My mother, amid her own personal horrors and the grotesque dysfunction of our family, really went all-out every year to make Christmas special. It stuck with me; it's difficult sometimes to deal with, even decades later.
Whatever holiday you celebrate this time of year--or even if you celebrate no holiday at all--I hope this finds you well and taking care of yourself. A great way of doing that is--trust me on this--homemade chicken soup. Get on it.
