Daily Mending- January 16th


 We did not have pizza.  Husband rustled up soup and so I just kept quiet- even though we had talked about pizza. He forgot.  I went over to his table and confiscated some luscious crayon type sticks and made my pencil orange look so nice. About six different layered colors on the orange.  No idea what I will color today.  I am enjoying the smooth slick surface of this new calendar. The colors go on easy.

We carried the Christmas Tree out of the house yesterday and then I dragged out the Central Vac Hose and sucked up all the pine needles and then used the Swiffer to polish up the floor.  That corner of the room looks mighty bare.  Sigh.  Prior to the room being painted and getting new baseboards we had packed up all the moveable stuff.  Bringing it all back down from the Attic.......not really interested. But pictures on the walls might be doable.

I had intended to read yesterday evening but there was a Lifetime Movie with an interesting idea.  Woman wakes up from a coma (car accident two months prior) with clear memories of a husband and two children.  But she isn't married they tell her- the house she lived in is still under construction.  She is given a temp job- guess where??- and is the receptionist for her Coma husband.  Normally this would be pretty lame but for some reason- Lifetime hired a real actress for the part. Sister to the Danish or Swedish guy in the newest Tarzan movie.  Very good looking family.  The father was in Hunt for Red October years ago and in a Netflix series I watched.....he also might have been dead ......I am reminded of him dancing by himself in a dark street even though he thought he was dancing with a woman. It was left up to those of watching to decide.

My visual memory is excellent.  Names not so much.  There are things in my past I can recall and watch like one watches home movies- but it's just a memory I am seeing.  Am I very very weird??? And it's not everything I can see- it's those important moments in time.

I made daughter three more masks.  Then made two for myself. Hers are fine.  Mine are not.  Only because it is very difficult to breath and still contain droplets etc.  But I used that blue sprigged cotton- very tight weave- and it's a very pretty mask. As long as I don't pass out from lack of oxygen.

Will be March before Maine has enough vaccine for people like me.  So...... Maine only got 18,000 doses and still need to give second dose shots.  I will have been quarantined for an entire year by then.  Wow. Hope your States are doing better.

The person in charge of the Kentucky vaccine roll out is the same man who was in charge of the Ohio/Kentucky bridge repair. He got that done on time so I am hopeful.

My county, Jefferson, is vaccinating 85 and older. The county next to mine, 45miles from me, is apparently vaccinating anyone who lines up in their car, according to the newspaper which covers both counties. Go figure...I obviously chose the wrong county in which to live.

"Jefferson County is the oldest county in the state, 8000 of our residents (approximately 1/4 of our population) are over the age of 70. At this time, we have not been allocated enough vaccine to do a complete immunization rollout for phase 1B. The county public health officer and our Chief Medical Officer believe it is imperative to immunize our oldest and most vulnerable community members first. Starting with the oldest population protects the most at risk for hospitalization and death from COVID-19."

Supposedly, my county, Gwinnett GA is vaccinating 65 and older, but everything is *booked*. The National Guard was involved in the initial heavy-duty testing phase. No appointments were required and the operation ran like clockwork. I'm hoping they bring them back to get the vaccine rolled out properly.

Your orange made me thirsty!
