A Very Cloudy Saturday in Maine. November 16th


 We might have had this before....seems like my picture file is mostly Christmas....how that happened is always a mystery and it's not even Thanksgiving.  The"Feeds" coming in with images must already be doing Christmas.   

I just ran out to the ice cold garage to visit the Oil Tank Gauge....looks like we will make it to Monday. I get hyper nervous when things get too close to the zero line ...of anything.  Even milk in the fridge. My mother did not manage the groceries and we often went to school with no money and no lunch.  And no breakfast.   So...I was trained early on to worry. About everything.

Today seems like we won't be having ANY sunshine.  "Oh, seconds before I hit publish- The SUN comes out"

I have one portion of oatmeal left. I thought I had more in the box...I did not...I do have cold cereal (shredded wheat) and I have a box of Cream of Wheat if I want to cook my breakfast cereal.  Poor planning.  I could also make pancakes.  But I won't.

I may or may not finish the book I am reading...

Move on to the next book.  I have to think about my sock basket....sort out the ones I like for Winter. I have to get my thermal shirts arranged in a stack...find out which corduroy pants fit.  See if I can find a new sweater to wear...the red and gray are getting thin.......There was one I tossed into the closet- need to see if it fits.  I like them loose.   I think it's time to start wearing the grey cashmere with so many elbow patches.  It's actually my favorite sweater....has been for almost 20 years. It has a collar that warms my neck.  60% of the sweater is patches held together with sock yarn quilting.  When i go out in public I wear a coat so no one sees it.  But I think mending is "IN" right now...or was last time I noticed it.
