Last week, Tommy was doing something in the dining room or maybe just walking past. He came in with a box of chocolate pudding and said with a smile, "Look what I found in there!" I wondered how he "found" pudding. Now, I realize he wanted me to make it for him. I guess I will. I am not dense or unwilling to take a hint, but it was a day when I did not feel well or needed a nap or something.
The woman to clean today was a no-show. I told Tommy when I hung up that the owner of the business would never send her. Why, oh why?
Last night, Rod Stewart did not work to put me to sleep immediately. However, I was not in bed and fretting until dawn. Tommy wanted the heat set to 63F which was fine with me. But, I am quite sure it was much cooler. Remember? This bedroom is the coldest room in the house. I have finally hit upon a way to keep my feet warm without having a small throw under the covers. The bedspread/quilt I bought works beautifully. The pink comforter is over that.
I wanted to get Tommy a paint-by-number painting. He would reject it since he often yells about thoughtful presents I give him. So, today I asked him if he would paint one for me and he readily agreed, even looking happy about the prospect. He will pay for it.
Did you ever have a paint-by-number painting? I may have. I do know my brother and maybe my sister did. If I had wanted one, I would have had one. I know my brother really enjoyed his paintings.
It is about noon and I have plans for today:
* Go to store where woman knew someone to clean and ask her if the woman wants to clean.
* Find a CLEAN laundramat...same woman.
* Wash hair
* Put turkey in, bake, and take all meat from bones and freeze some.
* Wash a few dishes so I can wash hair and handle turkey in sink.
I know it does not sound like much to do in one day, but I am capable of little.
What I have already done today:
* Gathered 5 boxes to be cut up and put in trash...Tommy's chore
* Put a few more foodstuffs on shelves. It is slow going.
* Ate breakfast...yes, it is a chore.
* Took walk in house to keep blood sugar in check.
The outdoor temperature is 60F and it is cool in the house since we don't have on any heat. I suppose the oven will take care of warmth in here. I think I will make the chocolate pudding for Tommy. It is instant, so will just mess up a bowl.
1 pm, got to go.
Have you ever had a paint-by-number set? Any suggestions? Is anyone giving one for a gift this year?
