Daily Notes- September 29

My new dish towels from Trader Joe's.  They are whiter and more blue than in this picture.  I had them ready to go into the washer so the lighting in the basket- not the greatest.  Their label mentioned washing and drying TWICE before using them to make them nice and soft and absorbent.  From Tunisia. Let hope they don't shrink too much.  I looked for but didn't find flour sack towels.  I love them for everything. Including jelly and pickle making.  Hoping Santa Claus brings me some.

I was handsewing little scraps of fabric together to make little component rectangles while watching Hallmark yesterday.  And in the midst of one of my favorite mysteries with my favorite Hallmark actor- I realized I had lost my sewing needle.  Big emergency as I looked for it.  Found it but lost some of the plot. Which just means I get to watch it all over again--Bonus!!

Football today and I have all the stuff needed to make halftime pizza or after the game pizza.  It is not often that I am prepared for anything these days.

It's very sunny out today and looks like it might be pretty warm as well.  I have a hat to wear to keep sun out of my eyes.

Busier than usual days ahead.  Tomorrow a friend and I are going to see Downton Abbey at 12:15 and  I have much cleaning and clearing up of things in the guest room (I have my in progress cloth works all over the bed) and I have general house cleaning and wood floor washing.  Son arrives Thursday evening.  Monday the 7th of October my annual physical-- always an excruciating experience-- I have hoped for some weight loss to make the doctor slightly more pleasant but it's moving up after being down for months.  Football Pizza.

I have to remember to not eat breakfast that day so they can take blood for the lipid test etc.  The results of which always make my doctor just stare and say "how is this possible"?  I must be the only fat person in her practice with excellent lipid numbers.  I don't eat fatty foods.  I'm mostly a vegetarian but do eat meat once a week usually.  Sometimes more if I have pulled pork in the house. And that is on top of a very large mixed greens salad.  The Pulled Pork Salad.  Which I adore. And Chinese steamed fried pork dumplings.  And Pot Roast once a year.  Can you tell it's lunch time?
