Daily Reconsidering- February 11th


 This image was in the morning feed of 21 emails.  I wish it was here in my kitchen.

Yesterday was a nightmare of a day.  I watched the impeachment trial and actually cried thru the entire 4 to 6 hours.  My father was a policeman.  Those radio calls for help....geez.  Brutal.

The impeachment managers did an excellent job.  Really.  Excellent.

Wouldn't it be a wonderful World if it changed 6 or 7 minds?  Stranger things have happened, I guess.

Later to make the day even...more emotional- I watched the movie "42".  Jackie Robinson.  At the end they said his number was permanently retired and no major league player has ever worn that number. And, the amazing actor died last year of cancer.  It's a hard movie to watch.

A few people have said tears are Nature's Pressure Valve.  I certainly feel exhausted.

Emails and real mail:  Aunt Jemima has been renamed Pearl Milling Company.  And will be back on shelves soon.  Now I want to know the history of the new name.  Paula sent remnants of sock yarn left after she knitted socks.  Not enough to make anything- but enough for me to mend socks- for the first time in my life.  I am very interested in mending my socks.  Books: A Man Called Ove and The Salt Path. I didn't write the one Connie suggested but I will go find it.  Write it here on the desk top calendar. Today I might vacuum the floors.  I have tons of vegetable soup in the fridge.  Haven't been eating actual meals. Husband will most likely want a grilled sandwich for lunch.  Later- we got up late.

The sun is shining and it's cold but no snow for the next few days.  The South and West are getting really bad weather.  Ice.  I'll take snow any day- but not Ice.
