Daily Notes- March 10th

                                     

My Candy Kyrptonite.  I had hidden this bag away and then forgotten where it was hiding. G found it.  Put it out where I can see it.  Sigh.  Once I open the bag- the contents has a very short lifespan.

Two Things Regarding The Virus.

Son in California sent email that his company has asked all employees to work from home.

Two private college students who were "recalled" from their European Studies in MILAN ITALY thought it would be FUN to come visit the Maine campus and hang out and eat in Town restaurants etc etc.  The college sent them back their respective home states when they discovered they were visiting.  Then sprayed the buildings they visited and stayed in overnight on campus. What was done to the public restaurants etc is unknown.  This is within 2 miles of where I live and breathe.

I read an entire book yesterday with my new prescription lenses and everything was great.  Today I have some repair sewing to do.  I am going to cut into a very nice black cashmere sweater ( a small size I will never wear again) to make patches for my second favorite sweater that has a few holes.

I had patched it with a lighter colored sweater and the patches are way too noticeable and not in a good way.  I am hoping the black with the charcoal grey will be less eye catching.  And I noticed an additional worn spot on the other sweater.  The light grey sweater I have on now had large elbow patches added last year.  But I have found a new bare spot right next to the elbow patch.  So, I need to add more reinforcements.

I refuse to give up on my two much loved sweaters.  New sweaters aren't as nice and really difficult to find ones not made in China.  I may also add some wool Boro stitching to give additional support to the old sweaters. But that means finding wool to do the Boro stitches.  The two sweaters are just wearing out from daily use--just like I am probably wearing out from daily use.
