Two days ago:  

It's a beautiful, cold day. The sky is perfectly clear--at least the part of it I can see out of my window. Last night, the temperatures were below freezing and tonight, the same.  

Yesterday, I sewed a wall hanging, a Christmas wreath made of scraps of green and red fabric. I'm going to sew today too, but I don't know what yet. 

I just finished lunch with Dave. He had leftovers from our Chinese food last night. I had instant mashed potatoes with quorn cooked in broth over the top. I try to eat a big meal with the Macrobid antibiotic to keep stomach pains at bay. I have one more day of this stuff. So far, it hasn't affected my digestive system, but I'm taking a probiotic with it, so maybe that's helping.

I finish up with these antibiotics then, because I'm having dental surgery on Monday, I start with a different antibiotic. Should be fun. 

Fun. 

Today:

It is another beautiful, chilly day. Perfectly clear again--at least from my window.

Yesterday, I sewed a throw sized quilt from scraps. I don't like it, but I'm going to work on it again today, adding more to it to use up scraps and such. I like making ugly quilts from time to time. It actually does help to keep the mojo going to go through the motions of making, even if the product is not amazing. In fact, it does the mind good to make something and not have to struggle with idea(l)s of perfection. That is a kind of gift. 

I'm headed off in a bit to drop off a sample at the lab. I need to change out of my pajamas to do that (it's only just after noon, why do you ask). I need a to-do list today because I have been feeling very unmotivated recently. I think the fact that the sun is setting before five p.m. isn't helping. I have the late fall doldrums. 

I also am not sleeping very well. My brain feels...sluggish. 

More Elementary today. Maybe some caffeine, a Starbucks reward, while we're out. 

Very early this morning, I dropped my portable oxygen concentrator on my left foot. I iced it, but it is sore today. Lucky.
