I have oatmeal in the microwave and hot water heated for my one a day cup of coffee... I went to sleep last night with the entire state of Maine colored Ice Blue....heavy snow. It measures well over two feet. But then I'm inside and it's outside. My oatmeal is beeping.....I'm fine- I am hoping ALL of you are fine as well.
Overnight we had no idea what was coming into Maine.. The wet heavy ice or the dry stuff. the weather channel had the weather coming in blue- ice. I was reluctant to get out of bed.
Now I am working the odds on taking shower - before or after I eat.....blood pressure is tilting low so I think...breakfast first. I'll be back later- the regular time to have a good chat here on the blog....Joanne.
Never lost power- as yet 21:56 --- but the generator would have kicked in. We made Sunday Pizza and watched the Patriots football game. Wow. Started with green grass and ended in a blizzard.
We have about 12 to 18 inches of snow- but the plow has dumped more at the end of the driveway. Son is not a Happy Camper. It's not the kind of snow that can be shoveled with 5 inches of ice on top of loose snow if it resembles what Washington DC has. 16 to 18 inches.
Maine is now being visited by all the snow you all in the south east experienced. Heavy Snow in Boston. Just an hour or two south of me. Snow is supposed to stop by TOMORROW NIGHT.
My son might be packing his suitcase upstairs? No he'd never leave his sports car behind. And he certainly couldn't drive it anywhere.
The football was a. SURPRISE... we won. Toward the end of the 4th we couldn't even see the players. And they started out with green grass.
Almost time for me to think about getting ready for bed...I just had a very nice sweet orange...and now I need some water. BE safe.
Vintage Snow Drops and Vintage Amaryllis. I can't throw anything away without giving it one more chance to shine. Even on a very cold dark day here in Maine. No sunshine here.
I watched some soccer yesterday....then gave up on the TV and finished Agnes and the Hitman. Today, if the football lets me down- I will finish coloring my drawings .......and I will read Anyone But You for a second and perhaps third time.... I adore a great romance. And today is Football Pizza Day... Gotta love that.
The shower head in my shower is shooting water out the top....needs a repair...since daughter says she is my assistant- I'm going to see if she steps up and calls in professionals to fix the damned thing... until then- I'll let it spray toward the ceiling when I shower. Which even I know is a VERY BAD THING.
Pizza Sunday....
You know what...I am going to just stop typing...I am not in a good headspace this morning....and I am just going to put a stop to this and Son says it's the internet messing with the left side margin. Crap.
Maine...
Well, not much to write about- I could add a photo of my four lovely navel ORANGES....fruit of the week. Sad....When "four oranges" is the most positive thing one can say.
I keep thinking about January 6th...Insurrection...I think it's time for another. With better results.
We have oil....we have sunshine... I have a good book and a soft couch... I spent yesterday and this morning with tears in my eyes. They carried a less that 2 year old away from his family. Without a blanket to keep him warm. Where is he now??????? Cold? Hungry? Alive?
I doubt I would have a fighting chance if they came pounding on my door.
Not the America I want.
No images....the iPhone needs a reboot. Battery was low. iPhone is old...I have asked if I could use my husband's newer iPhone- change over- Son doesn't care for that idea. It's also old. But not AS old.
Way below Zero up here in Maine. I bought snack-y things... Granola chunks. Seeds etc. Cold Fried Chicken Chunks. Pears and Oranges. I skipped the yogurt as I am not supposed to have it with my kidneys being on the fritz, I made the soup yesterday...it's not quite right....needs something but not sure what or if I even have something good to add. I might simmer it with a Parm outside edge. I have one or two in the freezer. Never throw them away.
I got more ham and cheese slices for roll ups....and there is another toasted cheese with sweet pickles....
I also bought one prepared meatloaf dinner....cause my lunch buddy mentioned meatloaf. And I am easily led astray.
Sheets for my bed are in the dryer....I spun the mattress so I will be sleeping on new territory tonight. The old mattress in Son's bedroom could be flipped....that one was a more "brand new " experience when slept on. And doing that myself was always an adventure- I got slammed by the weight and height (into the closet doors) at least once every time- usually more. Way way too old for that now....bones are still sturdy though. Memory not so much.
My lunch buddy has had to start a new email.....the robots took over the old forever email.
I am looking all over for my R&B- Robbe & Berking Silver- 150g. Was here for decades but now missing. I worry that in the change over to adding Son's household goods to the kitchen it got.....misplaced....sent to Goodwill by mistake...... 8 of everything and quite a lot of serving things. I was always "saving it" for special occasions... Don't Ever Do That. I was also doing things mindlessly as a brand new widow. Make NO changes the first year is also very SOUND ADVICE.
I wear linen clothing I "saved" ---- just for sitting around the house. Un-ironed. I have a book to read... we skipped the Library -third week in a row, I think---because the sidewalks were NOT shoveled. Not safe for me to walk on. And walking in the street is not something anyone should do in the winter- especially in a black coat.
