Daily Notes- January 23rd

 Difficult to say which of the many parts of yesterday were my favorites.  The dog (puppy) petting or the phone talking.  It was a good day.

My husband lost his slippers- in the house.  We looked and then...he remembered where he had last seen them.  He thinks all of his B12 vitamins might be having some results.  That would be nice.

I pinned the cloth from yesterday onto the wall.  Across from the dining table.  I may have it framed.  And I think this is the last of the chakra things.  This last one has all the elements of the remaining three and some of the elements of the two previous.  Only colors missing are red and orange.  So, it's finished. I really have very little knowledge of the stones, the body placements or the "balances".  So, this was more of a color project- thought- things happened that led me to think perhaps I did find my way into it.

I am reading a little paperback- I am the first to open it.  Pages are very stiff and new.  I had seen it in a list of Christmas fiction and it took awhile for it to arrive.  The first story was nice.  I would have liked to know what the man in the story was thinking and feeling.  But, that didn't happen.  Fern Michaels.  I won't be reading any of her other books.  So much name dropping of the clothing being worn.  The next short story in the book is by Tara Sheets and the third by Kate Clayborn. The book is A Snowy Little Christmas.

Thank you Annie for letting me know your husband did not get his $600 check either.  There really is no one to call to find out where it is.

My library had a box of heavy paper hearts by the book table.  We are asked to write or draw or embellish the paper hearts and the library will put them in the windows for the month of February.  I added paper decoupage to my two hearts.  Images from a few magazines on the stairs to the Attic.  Serendipity for one. Animals by the artist who inspired the animal quilt in the children's section.  Ipcar.  I hope that heart finds it's way to the Children's section windows.  Venice on the other.  

I was clicking thru the channels last night and stopped at CNN.  Chris Coumo (spelling) was interviewing a young teenager who had called the FBI to report his father who had gone to the January 6th Capitol etc. And was becoming more and more violent and frightening at home.  Chris was visibly upset.  He has a child the same age as this boy.  It was difficult to watch. The boy did the right thing but wondered if he had let his father down etc........ will this never end?
