Daily Mending- January 15th

 A segment of a cloth on the dining room wall.  Next to Riley's cloth.  This one seems to suggest a door way- a path.  A window.  Going. My two favorite cloths.  Made so with bleach- just poured on and then quickly rinse when I got what I wanted.  One gave me purple.  The Walmart black gave me that silver grey white.  I have very little left.  The cloth I used was old.  I don't think black is dyed on this old silvery white  base these days.  And the other.  Who would ever imagine these two colors under their original black?  I only discovered the grey purple while discharging every black I could find in scrap piles we had at the monthly quilt meetings.  Only once did I find a second black that gave me the discharge on the left.

I continue to search for old black Walmart fabric in other people's stashes.  But...until then- I take apart things I made with it and use the scraps of cloth for new things. Life (for old cloth) goes on forever.

I read Twice in a Blue Moon.  Straight thru a doctors visit and then an evening.  No tv. "Bored of it" as my very young daughter used to say about things.  A five year old "bored of it". The book was well worth it. And it ended well.  I hadn't thought it would.

I heated soup for myself yesterday and fried dumplings for husband.  We were both happy. Today I am making pizza.  Right now I am eating the second to the last orange.  I've made no decisions on how the day will go......what I will or will not do.  Some days are mostly what I will not do.  A negative day.

The Sun is shining- 24 hours of rain is also coming tomorrow.  We need rain- but not in January. The Earth is so screwed up.  I only watched Brian Williams at 11pm last night.  Nothing before that.  I would be fine with the oath of office being given in private with cameras.  Safer.

I also have come to the conclusion that Trump is actually too stupid to have planned ANY of this.   I believe he is Putin's Puppet.  Putin.  Yes. Smart enough for this Very Long Game.
