Cinnamon Grammy…..zucchini and kale?  I’d use some in scrambled eggs.  I’m always looking for different stuff for breakfast.

LilSister…..ugh, good luck with tonite and tomorrow.  Then it will be done!  Unpleasant but wise.

Corsaire….thanks for the link.  I’ll get that copied into my Lil Blue Book [things I might need most some day]

Hieronyma…..GOOOD news on improvement for your daughter.  \0/ Tell her we’re all cheering for her.  Financial is always a good prep.

Muffy…hope you can get some sunshine but a family visit does that pretty well too, doesn’t it? 🙂

Whoa, we’re down to zero right now.  Must be a clear nite again.  The daytime isn’t too bad tho yesterday was much warmer.  I was not functioning for most of today.  So I sat in a chair and just reached for things in my piles to sort/discard.  I made some progress on throwing out old catalogs that inundate me during the holidays.

AND…..I FINISHED SOMETHING.  {don’t ask home many half-finished projects around here…groan!}  A embarrassingly long time ago, I set out to repair a fairly good nylon knapsack.  But the seams were not sealed in it’s construction and a couple had frayed/ripped out.  I’d already done the hard part which is to seal those nylon seams:  Turn it inside-out and trim the frayed nylon edge.  Then carefully run the nylon edges thru the flame of a candle [ do outside on a non-windy day].  Try not to burn fingers or melt anything but the very edge.  Then the project sat by my chair for ….  >_<

Today I threaded needle and began to sew up a small hole, 2 seams and replace a broken buckle.  It didn’t take long.  And something I could do on a sit-down day.  Thot I was on a roll and would get a small hole repaired in a tank top….or the really long-ago project of putting a patch over the knee of jeans [I need those jeans now] by hand sewing.  Easier than working a machine with heavy denim.  I have the two long seams done on the patch and most of a third.  Really, it can’t take that long to finish!!!  We’ll see.  It is a good skill to have…repairing clothing and such.  And yeah….not always with duct tape.  LOL
