Daily Notes- April 28

                                                 

Tuesday.  And I woke up to snow.  End of April snow.  It didn't stick but the chill is still in the air and the sky is dark.  Forbidding.  My robe diagram.  I haven't measured myself yet.  My widest part is my hips/thighs.  My shoulders narrow.  Peasant shaped body.  Sturdy.  Big ears.

I had selected two other images for here- today.  But deleted them.  I might just delete this also.  It's that kind of start to the day.  I woke up tired.  I might just do mending today- repetitive stitching. Nothing I need to think about too much. Or need to focus on too closely. And this auto correct thing here is making me crazy.  The internet changing my words.  Adding words I didn't type. And as the days go by, the internet becomes more and more "sticky"-  just adding the picture takes so much longer to add it and then to subtract it.

My eyes are tired.  Sticky. The house is dry. I was trying to order my inhaler over the phone today and couldn't read the numbers.  I had to hang up and find a pen and write the number LARGE on a post it and then call again.  Five days before my inhaler is empty.  We'll see if I get a refill by then.  Has it really been a full 30 days since that panic attack -- not being able to get a refill?????  And here we are again. I guess it will be like this every month.....

I deleted an entire paragraph on food/cooking.  This isn't a cooking blog.  It isn't a clothes washing blog either- I did two loads yesterday.

I spent an hour and possibly longer yesterday following a comment on a blog to a new to me blog and just going backwards thru posts and images.  I went, first of all, because the author of the blog lives in Maine.  Up north of me.  But she likes making books, India Flint, natural dyes, and she is making a robe along with Jude Hill.  It was an interesting few hours.  And she has no comments on any of the many posts (usually just an image).  I sat and looked at many images.  Some for a long time.  Soaking it all in.  All the beauty of the "making" of this woman.  She even found a nice copper pot to use in her eco-dye work.  At a second hand shop.  For years, doing this blog- and even to this day-- no comments.  Writing to herself- so she can remember.  I have a feel for that myself.

Daughter dropped off our package of toilet paper.  Four rolls of Scott (good for septic tanks). On the package it says in big red letters- four rolls = four weeks.  Public service announcement, I guess.

Husband has just finished the newspaper, breakfast and his word search puzzle.  He is thinking about taking a nap.  Because it is cold, wet and snowing--he will not be going out to do yard work.  He is playing games on his iPad.  I am going to layer the small 24 inch square cloth and baste it.  I said I was going to do that days ago but didn't.  Now I will.  My eyes are tired of reading.

What are you doing today?
