My ancient electric stove from 1984. My Wedding Present little saucepan from 1968. The whisk might actual be from some more current years--I don't think we "whisked" in 1968. Making my breakfast cereal. Cream of Wheat.
I serve it the way my grandmother fixed it for me. Spread out over a dinner plate. Sugar, cinnamon and pats of butter over the surface. Eaten from the outside edges into the middle.
I had to resort to this breakfast when my jaw decided to hurt when I chewed anything. That was right around Christmas. The jaw and the shoulder pain. Such a wonderful Christmas. But I did reconnect with Cream of Wheat. So, a good thing
Been up in the attic again--this time looking for freezer paper. It was on my work table down in the dining room. But I found a few things. You may see one of them tomorrow.
It's cold and streets, sidewalks and parking lots are lumpy with frozen slush, ice and whatever. We went out for a late lunch. Just to get out of the house. Then went to the grocery store. Now we're back home and it's already getting dark at 3:41. There might be enough light for one more trip into the attic but I think I will "save" it for tomorrow.
Get my hair cut tomorrow.
There are a number of current event things running through my mind these days. It takes quite a bit of energy to consider what is going on... and then I have to just "let it go" or I will run myself crazy.
How are you all coping with the News?
How am I dealing with the news? Not well. But there is hope if we can hold on til the mid-terms.
ReplyDeleteI am encouraged by the Women's Marches last weekend. By the number of women running for office.
