Daily Notes- On a Very Cold Dismal Friday. But not hot or humid- So A good Day.


 This looks like toast, avocado, egg and little green speck leaves.  I have none of these things in my house. But if I did, I would make this and eat it.  Over the sink- very rapidly.

The Old Civil War Era house tour was quite lovely.  But when we climbed the stairs to the humid second floor my asthma decided to call attention to itself and I got dizzy and low on oxygen.  It was sort of a combo of really old and my grandmother's house.  I recognized so many grandmother things.  And I missed her.

The family that built the house pre Civil War ran ships to Savannah and back up north for many years. The guide was careful to say they had "freed Blacks" as crew.  And they only sailed north and south and not to wherever one went to collect slaves to sell in Savannah.  I just gave the guide my best- don't believe you look. Because.....

The house had several deep soapstone sinks.  I was supposed to get (buy) a soapstone sink if I ever decided to go forward with the kitchen remodel.  Now is not the time.  Construction costs are like double or triple what they were when we were considering it.  I will not put that sort of money into a kitchen.  I don't have enough years or interest in cooking left in me to make it worth the money.

Today is dark and cold.  Only in comparison with other days this week.

I killed the big fly that got into the house days ago and has been flying slowly around.  I found the fly swatter and that was it for the fly.  I tried my best to get him to go outside.  But he wouldn't go outside.

I feel tired.  Used my rescue inhaler three times in 2 hours.  The humidity and wet air does me in. So, I am going to watch tennis and hopefully fall asleep.  I stopped in at the library to check out 8 new books.  Eight Days of Reading.  And now I think I need to locate my shawl.
