Daily Notes: Muggy News here in Maine. 80 degrees

You get a drawing I found in a notebook.  I have a few more.....reminded about being artistic in the past..not so much now.  How did that happen?   I assume it was the caregiving I didn't notice was taking up more and more of my Life.  As he was loosing more and more of his.  Decades.

1.I have an itchy rash along the ENTIRE right side of my face.. (one spot is very itchy and most of the skin is bumpy)..Calomine Itch Relief is doing a bit of good. I think I have some tiny allergy pills as well.  Pink also.  This rash might occupy my thoughts and actions most of the day.  If it spreads.  It's also on the inside of my right arm along with two large mosquito bites....I swell up with mosquito bites..

2.  I brought the AC units up in conversation but no one did anything about it...so they are still in the garage.  ( I suggested buying newer more effective ones..).. I have the two ceiling fans going-slowly.  All doors and windows closed. Takes two strong younger than me people to get them in the windows. Daughter is at work...sweating and covered in bugs for sure.

3. Son shared his interpretation of what is going on with Iran.  I recalled - when we lived in the Chicago area and both kids were in college- someone bombing Iran or Iran bombing someone.. or just firing off rockets,.  This might be a repeat performance- but way more dangerous if they have actually made a bomb.  Son says that is MUCH more difficult....... trying not to blow yourself up, I guess.

4. Yesterday's Sunday Pizza was very very good...we get better at it each week.  We discussed various other toppings for Future Summer Sunday Pizza.   I am also being encouraged to bake something with the rhubarb in the freezer.  My fallback position is always a pie.  He suggested some sort of Bundt Cake. I will look for a recipe.

5. No newspaper today....I think I will have cold cereal today- Shredded Wheat and milk.  I have books to read and perhaps catch up on the World Cup Soccer matches. Or just sew....a few more squares... I did have to go into the sewing room and dig thru boxes of "sorted by color" fabric.  What I was looking for was that center square in each of a "special" fabric".... a small 2 inch square...well, I would have to cut it. I was NOT finding it...so I finished reading the Love Haters for the third time. and I also cut out pictures for the desktop calendar under this keyboard.   Most of the space on the calendar is now filled...drawings, newspaper headlines and a big orange and yellow SUN.

6, More World Cup Soccer for today....More calamine lotion on the itchy bits.  And just now the BIG TREE CUTTING WOODCHIPPING TRUCK across the street.  They brought the BIG CHIPPER. What was that movie??????
