murielle Sabbath. At home. Resting. A bit bored.
I've started purging my email once a week. Gone are the days when I get notices from my ISP saying, you've exceeded your limit. No more 15000 emails piling up in my inbox. If I can't go through them in a week, probably don't need to see 'em at all. Also, I really need to stop subscribing to retailers, etc. I'm never going to buy anything from them. I think this goes back to my childhood, where a couple of times a year we received the big Sears catalog and would pour through it, devouring all the pretty pictures of things we would never own.
There's a big old tree just outside my yard. Definite signs of leafage. Spring! Except it's going to snow tomorrow. (Sigh)
I watched a couple of documentaries today: Iceman, about a hitman. Kept asking myself why I was watching it. And Cousin Once Removed about an honored poet documenting his decent into Alzheimer's. That was deeply moving, troubling even. I think I've watched it before, on PBS. It brought back a lot of memories of Mom's last year. Such a terrible disease.
Finished a wash cloth today and started another. I like stocking them. They make nice hostess gifts, personal and useful. I choose pretty variegated cotton yarns, these ones are pale water pallet, soothing, fresh, and I'm doing them in double moss stitch. Pretty. Well, I think they're pretty.
After sunset I have to get back to prepping for the great stove exchange. I managed to do a bit before sunset yesterday. It didn't take long. I'm thinking I might cut down on the actual sorting and storing and just move stuff out of the way. I need to be able to call the office sometime tomorrow and tell them to come on Monday, or asap, so the simpler the job the faster it will go. Besides, trying to do things like this when I'm crashing is asking for trouble.
I think that's all for today...Toodles!
