Daily Notes- January 28

Just words today as the iPhone and computer have decided not to communicate.  I had a photo of the Painter's equipment.

He's a quiet man.  Arrives and does his work and you have no idea he's even in the house.  He and Riley enjoyed each other's company when he was here painting during the bathroom remodel.  All the crown molding is down and gone.  The room looks better already.  He'll be giving the whole ceiling an undercoat tomorrow.  I have one more day to get things packed and out of here. Or just contained so he can throw a drop cloth over things.

I am reading.  The middle book in a trio.  One of the librarians is selecting interesting books- like the one about the woman making a robotic date for her sister's wedding-- and, well I happened upon book three and loved it so now I am reading one and two.  Romantic/drama/comedy?  But you get caught up in it and it's really very personal.  I have book three here so will read that one with more amusement now that I know the two of them were so not fooling anyone.

Was supposed to rain today.  Snowed a bit and then stopped. While clearing off the fireplace of family photos-- I found the small crystal heart my neighbor down the street gave me the day of G's heart surgery.  I carried in my pocket all the hours of that day and would hold it in my hand.  I had forgotten where it was.  But now it's back in my pocket.  Safe and warm. My neighbor drove me to the hospital each day to be with G.  Until I felt stable enough to drive myself.  It's a long drive 40 minutes or more in traffic.  I will always be thankful for her taking that time out of her busy day for me.

Well, those last few items aren't going to pack themselves up.

We are taking a small pause in the collage challenge as our leader needs some recovery/rest/heating pad time.  Darned if I didn't miss it this morning.  I might have to sort paper.  But first I will finish my book.
