Daily notes for Monday July 7th. Sunshine here in Maine....74 degrees at 9am


 I was tempted on this one to travel to the Quilt Room and use the cutting table....to make straight sides. and then I thought-why???   You will see it here (only because a few of you asked) and then..no one but me will see it........ever again 

1. I showered with hot water this morning as the itch on my arms was getting intense.....I think it's going away and it blooms into red swollen spots yet again. I have pink Calomine lotion on my arms now.  Hoping the itch stops.... the spots dry up.

2. A NYT recipe for Protein Bars was full of sugar and negative comments (at the end of the recipe there were 96 negative comments mostly regarding a negative amount of "protein".).  This is the lesser amount on a Sunday NYT's recipe. Usually we hit three digits pretty fast.  Do this, don't do that. Sub this and then this..... it goes on and on.  

3. There was only one NYT's recipe that I actually made- a Vegetable Bean Soup... I used some of the yes comments and all of the no comments to provide myself with a very good soup.  

4. The Calomine is working the ratio of itch has decreased.

5. I am also tempted- if you actually get down here to numeral 5 and IF anyone actually reads this post. To stop publishing these posts.  I will still type them each morning but will hit print instead of publish. I might need to actually send a copy to each of my adult children as proof of Life.  I might send one to Connie.  Because she actually might read the Daily Notes.

6. It seems useless to keep pretending anyone comes here to read this...

Of course I read your daily news and I'd miss it. And thanks for sharing the pictures of your blocks. I'm going to encourage you to keep working on them, you went a long time without "making" and it's nice to see your art once again.

Liebe Joanne, ich komme jeden Tag vorbei und mit dem Übersetzer lese ich Deinnen Alltag, Deine oft witzige Ironie übers dein Leben und Deinem Sorgen. Da ich leider noch arbeiten muss (2 Jahre), schreibe ich selten. Seit Jahren habe ich ca. 10 Blogs, die ich täglich besuche.
Vielen Dank fürs teilen. Katja
