The Internet

Oh, how I miss you when things go away.  We are having trouble connecting to our wireless router.  We get it going and then the connection slips away and is lost for the remainder of the day.  Neither G or I understand the reasons (if there are any) or can see a solution.  We have shut off the iPhone and iPad.

I am taking the opportunity to write this post while things are working and then file last week's unemployment claim.  The sun is shining.  The temperature is minus 2.  The dog is staying inside.  Yesterday, The three of us tramped thru the ice crusted snow for the daily walk in the woods.  Riley did best of all with four legs.  G and I struggled but at least had a path cut by someone's cross country skis to follow.  Today, the walk will be harder as things are frozen deeper and harder.

I started my day with a huge breakfast.  No cheese.  Grapefruit, eggs and sausage, an almond flour MIM with too many blueberries.  Not enough sweetener (in fact, none).  I seem to have regained my "regularity".  I consumed all the roasted Whole Food beets with a drizzle of olive oil and salt and pepper. Because we are going away next week, I don't have as much food in the fridge.  Less choices for my meals.  Not a good thing.  I am eating too many handfuls of raw almonds.

I think I will take the lights off the Christmas Tree today (or tomorrow), vacuum the floors, take a shower, clean my bathroom,  go into my nearly empty former workspace and take a look at the 12 by 20 piece I started on.  I DO NOT like 12 by 20.  The proportion is very awkward.  After the reveal I will, almost certainly, cut 4 inches off the length.  12 by 16.  More pleasing to the human eye.  I know it's a challenge, but, go ahead, cut yourself a piece of batting 12 by 20 and tell me how you will compose something that works at the top and all the way to the bottom.  And where will you place the horizon line?  And the 20 has to be running north to south.

I haven't been diligent with the circles on squares (now that I know I have too many).  I could take them with me on vacation.  Along with the little ovals.  Who knows.

I'll be back when I have service.  Cheerio!
