Daily Notes for Friday, January 23rd. Sun Still Shining but we are bracing ourselves for WAY below zero.

No images....the iPhone needs a reboot.  Battery was low. iPhone is old...I have asked if I could use my husband's newer iPhone- change over- Son doesn't care for that idea. It's also old. But not AS old.

Way below Zero up here in Maine.   I bought snack-y things... Granola chunks.  Seeds etc. Cold Fried Chicken Chunks.  Pears and Oranges.  I skipped the yogurt as I am not supposed to have it with my kidneys being on the fritz,  I made the soup yesterday...it's not quite right....needs something  but not sure what or if I even have something good to add. I might simmer it with a Parm outside edge. I have one or two in the freezer. Never throw them away.  

I got more ham and cheese slices for roll ups....and there is another toasted cheese with sweet pickles....

I also bought one prepared meatloaf dinner....cause my lunch buddy mentioned meatloaf.  And I am easily led astray.

Sheets for my bed are in the dryer....I spun the mattress so I will be sleeping on new territory tonight.  The old mattress in Son's bedroom could be flipped....that one was a more "brand new " experience when slept on.  And doing that myself was always an adventure- I got slammed by the weight and height  (into the closet doors) at least once every time- usually more.  Way way too old for that now....bones are still sturdy though. Memory not so much. 

My lunch buddy has had to start a new email.....the robots took over the old forever email.

I am looking all over for my R&B- Robbe & Berking Silver- 150g.  Was here for decades but now missing.  I worry that in the change over to adding Son's household goods to the kitchen it got.....misplaced....sent to Goodwill by mistake...... 8 of everything and quite a lot of serving things. I was always "saving it" for special occasions... Don't Ever Do That. I was also doing things mindlessly as a brand new widow.  Make NO changes the first year is also very SOUND ADVICE.

I wear linen clothing I "saved" ---- just for sitting around the house.  Un-ironed.  I have a book to read... we skipped the Library -third week in a row, I think---because the sidewalks were NOT shoveled. Not safe for me to walk on.  And walking in the street is not something anyone should do in the winter- especially in a black coat.
