Winter Notes- Thursday, February 22nd. 35 degrees and cloudy.


 Marigolds.  I had so many in the containers last summer...Cheerfully bountiful.

I managed to get today's NYT's Whole Orange Snack Cake printed off the internet.  I actually feel sort of "Rocket Scientist" smart right now.....just sort of....  I had to cut and past the recipe title to the page...

I have "just enough" oatmeal for breakfast tomorrow..that's how close I am to having no breakfast.  Recall me standing and looking at the oatmeal display last Friday and not buying a container.......sigh. Wasn't on the list.....on the list for tomorrow...for sure.

I showered this morning...my hair feels all soft.....I also have on pants I haven't fit into since 15- 20 years? perhaps... from that Fall I worked at LLBean.  That was a long time ago.  LLBean doesn't make these pants anymore.... corduroy with waist, button and zipper.  Now it's elastic and no zipper.  Like all day corduroy pajama pants.  This doesn't mean I lost any more weight....I don't own any thing but large pants. Some fit and most don't.  All LLBean rejects. With zipper and button at the waist. Soft green.

When I like something...I like it forever.

I found two fat round bars of grapefruit orange soap.  I have only half a bottle of Pink Grapefruit body Spray.  From a store that sold soap and body spray.  I would love to have more spray so I could smell like grapefruit every day.  Bath and Body...that was the store up the road a bit...gone now. Half a bottle.

In one of my romance books the guy wears something that smells like cedar and grapefruit....and the girl finds it so very nice.....even when she doesn't like him.  In my next Life...

No bagel for mid morning snack.  I could bake the last two sweet potatoes for supper later today.  I had promised to make soup....but I didn't.  I should check the crisper drawer...see what's left in there. Add what I don't have to the grocery list under Crisper Drawer....usually carrots, celery and cabbage.  I might also need a few onions and potatoes. Soup Supples.  We are nearly done with Winter Soup....or I am nearly done with Winter Soup.   A Cooking Show had No Fry Eggplant Parm yesterday.  I could try that.

Well, I think I have bored you all enough for today.  It was suggested I take a daily walk.  Last time I walked away from the house I fell down and hurt my arm and broke my glasses (bloodied my face) so I won't try that again....yet.

Get a cool walking stick or walking pole. And then walk walk walk. Start with five minutes and gradually increase time and distance. Best thing you can do. The more you walk the stronger your core and less chance of falling. Also you are out in nature which you seem to love. Will be a boost to your mood and brain health.

I will have to convince my son that I can walk and not fall down.......and myself.
We walk from the grocery parking lot to the library and the sidewalks are uneven and sometime wet or covered in snow and he shepherds me.....and I usually need it.... I try and think...how long has it been this way?
