Daily Notes- January 17

                                     

Prompt 16 for today: A protective talisman; guardian for your inner realm.  He is quite powerful. And I am quite prickly.  Setting barriers.

As you can see the learning curve for using my pastel crayons was pretty darn quick.  I even went back and did work on the one from yesterday.  Today- hard to see where the magazine images start or finish.  There are six magazine images here.   I like this.  I like blurring the lines on the collage.

It is sunny and very very cold today.  We must continue to shovel snow off the driveway- the snowblower is in pieces in the workshop at John Deere.  Many little things were broken but not noticed right away and parts needed to be ordered and sent. Repeat as necessary.

We did quite a bit yesterday- G an I- the biggest job was the snow the Town plow deposits at the end of the driveway.  Very large amount.  Very heavy. And G cleared in front of the mailbox- "if it isn't clear we don't deliver" is the post office mantra. Thank goodness there was still soup for G to eat. I had soup from Panera (they sell it at the grocery store) but I forgot I had it. I will eat it today.  I might make biscuits.  Haven't done that is a gazillion years.

I have two loads of washing to do so will have time to get at least three pages written in the Washing Machine Pages.  I am feeling more like myself today.  No crying and it's past 2 pm. Daughter is going to read this and text me about the "happy light" again.  I just repeat- I miss my dog.

So I got my haircut (yesterday).  I took a shower (this morning).  I changed my clothes.  I did my daily collage.  I helped G with his pencils.  I had the good 2% milk with my oatmeal (not the fat free) and that was a wonderful thing.  The day is looking good.  I'm in a good place.  Talisman is working.
