Daily Notes- March 9th

                                  

I little (old) Sun for the day today.  Supposed to warm up to 60 but we have no Sun so I doubt things will go above the present 48 which is good enough. One of the few pieces of cloth to have eyes. That little loop where a nose would be looks wrong to me.  I might unsew that.

The phone just rang and my new prescription Readers arrived by whatever delivery service  Michael uses.  So I will be able to read and sew today.    There will be a learning curve as the new lenses are  different and stronger.  Let's all think positive thoughts.  I have the new prescription in the glasses I am wearing as I type but I never know which of the three lenses I am using.  It's fascinating how the brain can select and ignore.  It's almost like my eye focus is playing a very elegant game of hopscotch.

Sunday we watched hours of BBC- The Seven Continents of Earth and the Animals that call them home. (seven seems like the right number but if I am wrong- forgive me?) It was hard watching some of the animals suffer (starve) due to the clear cutting of forests.  Others having no water to drink. Others freeze to death where it has never gotten so cold. But as usual the photography was so beautiful.  I never tire of seeing Earth from Space.  I hope when I die that is what I see.  Oh, such thoughts.

Garbage Day tomorrow so I am planning to clean out the fridge today.  I scavenged nachos for G the other day and yesterday he had some pasta.  I had something I had purchased and didn't eat right away. A mistake.  It is always good the same day but not 2 days later. I still have fruit and yogurt in there to eat.  And plenty of greens.  I may use my new (library) cookbook by Carla Lalli Music to pan roast greens and veggies. I will follow the directions to get a good brown on everything.  Hot pan.

I watched episodes from Season One of Law and Order.  Lennie was a lawyer instead of a detective.  Not a good fit but he did have on a lovely suit and tie.  Chris Noth- very very young and much better looking as he aged.

I had wanted to watch the 2017 movie Yesterday on HBO but couldn't get myself to subscribe. I do not know why I am so compulsively frugal.  It's a really wonderful movie.  Emma is playing locally and G is willing to see a second Jane Austin production.  He watched Sanditon on PBS.

G is done with breakfast so we are going to get my glasses.  And pick up ONLY two items at the grocery.  Possibly three- I need deodorant.
