Tuesday morning

 I finished my big crazy crocheted blanket yesterday. It’s actually a bit too long and too narrow but whatever. Until the weather warms up and I can wash it and hang it outside on the patio to dry I won’t get a real idea of how it lays. I did stick it in the drier a bit yesterday which helped the yarn stitches even out a bit. Besides sitting around crocheting yesterday, reading the newspapers, doing my crossword puzzle and a short dog walk I did nothing but sleep yesterday. I did wake up several times in the night signaling I’d finally gotten enough sleep. I just ate a half toasted peanut butter and banana sandwich and had a cup of coffee and washed off really well, used deodorant, put on fresh clothes and brushed my hair back into a bun. I am returning to human again after being a slug for a couple days. 

I need to remember to wear a mask more often out in public and carry my hand sanitizer. My immune system is obviously not going to improve. Suck it up buttercup. I’m lucky to be here at all. Shit happens. Get a helmet or give up.

Later- I added another row of green double crochet to one entire side of the blanket to use up leftover green yarn. Tomorrow I’ll do the other side. 


We went out to Sammy’s bar and grill for a late lunch (I’m feeling human again.) I got a half waffle, over easy egg and 2 pieces of bacon. Mike got a tenderloin sandwiches and fries. Both were good. He had Diet Pepsi and I had water. We never drink booze. He has gout. I’ve had brain cancer twice. We’ve had enough excitement in our lives. 


We were supposed to go to Glen Ellyn tomorrow afternoon to babysit grandkids but now we’re not needed. Maybe I’ll go shopping. I’m going to Peoria soon to take my sister out. My other sister is helping her husband recover from his kidney transplant and she gets a heart pacemaker installed next week.  They are avoiding exposure to most people until his transplant doctor gives him the okay.


A nice luxurious hot bath in the evening is a beautiful rejuvenating thing that’s good for the soul.
