Daily Notes for January 30th. Very cold last night, snow transformed into ice. Plane crash.

Another scrap square....shadow on the cloth- it's not this dark.

Well, it seems to have snowed again last night. Son is out there shoveling the thin layer up off the driveway.   Before it turned into a sheet of ice- but perhaps the surface under the snow is already ice. Twelve degrees here in Maine with bright sunshine.  My furnace is working to get us up to 64 degrees here in the house....I had it warmer for husband when he was alive..For me? I have wool sweaters and socks... Son has his second floor room much warmer.  I haven't been up there....Not supposed to do stairs.

I traveled to the four numeral channels on my tv lineup....HD.  And set several favorite shows to automatically record episodes.  This used to work and then it didn't......time will tell. Seems so unimportant as the families of 68 plus passengers on that plane have now lost people they love.

I am having a few back to back rough days.....I went to my room early and then got some duct tape to stop a draft from coming in the window next to the toilet....I seem to have gotten it from a breeze to just a light chill.  I slept well.  At least I have no memory of falling asleep- I just woke up realizing I had slept.

Son and I shouted at each other yesterday....I think we are too similar in wanting to have things our own way and to be in control.....it was bound to happen- it happened all the time when he was younger...he would get so ANGRY with me (at the ripe age of four).....and that is what is happening again...at 55 and 76.

That's about it...I was- momentarily yesterday ...quite proud of myself- I cooked a meal for myself and ate it. Washed the pots and pans and dishes..... That hasn't happened in awhile....I did get my days wrong on the Hydration Chart but I had had my water.... just not in the right block of the chart......I have had my morning water and made a large 10 ounce cup of tea... decaffeinated.... limited in the amount of sugar I added.  I will have an additional 8 ounces of water and then sit on the couch and read my BOOK.

I don't know why but my neck muscles are stiff and my right shoulder and arm ache ...tension..maybe?
