Daily Notes- Seeing Clearly Now


 Took a picture of my desk drawer contents.  With  all my little images cut from my magazines. For my desk top calendar collages.  I didn't rearrange anything just shuffled them up.

Just back from my annual eye doctor appointment.  No changes.  No new prescription.  Same. Nothing to see here.  Which for old 74.5 year old women is GOOD NEWS!!!.  Really GREAT news.

We  are now back home.  I oiled up the four  beets and they are roasting in the oven as I type.  I will peel them and slice them and eat them (when they cool) with Balsamic vinegar and olive oil.  If I happen to have any fresh mozzarella- which  I don't think I have- I would add that.  I'll eat them warm.

My pasta yesterday made with a soffito of onion celery and carrot was delicious.  My soffito could have cooked longer- my tiny diced carrots were still a bit crunchy.  But sweet.  And I was happy with my lunch. Next time I will make the tiny carrot pieces thinner. Less square.  I was doing  a  "dice" and needed to be thinner.

Reading and typing is a bit of a struggle as my eyes are still under the influence of the drops.  So, I have a nice cup of coffee here and I think I will settle into the couch until the drops wear off.  I already folded laundry and prepped the beets for the oven.  Perhaps that's enough for right now.

Woke up to fog.  A different between the temperature of the Earth's surface and the Air.  But now the fog has burned off and the Sun has arrived.  So Bright.  All the bird seed was sifted.  Feeder filled.  But so far- little interest.   Once offended by millet- the birds are reluctant to give us a  second chance.

As to Better Than...meat subs.  I am...well, if I don't want to eat meat itself-  I also don't want to eat plant material that pretends to be meat with bloody juices etc.  The only meat I have not given up is pork. Bacon, ribs, pulled pork, ham etc. etc.  Sigh. I regret even writing that down here.  But...it's the whole truth. Pork. But never sausage. Never. Who knows what they put in sausage.........
