focus on the positive 2

serynThere's a new day today. I closed the door and had the big lamps on last night.
I came up with a very quick and dirty cowl. Hank of pencil roving, doubled. It looks a bit stupid but required zero work and is extremely warm.
I almost bought a hooded fleece-lined sweater vest from LLBean yesterday. What stopped me was the sizing chart and the fact that it doesn't come in plus sizes. It was going to be 2 inches too tight across the bust and it claimed to be a tunic-length but didn't come in petites. It came in purple. So I'd have looked like I had been trying for a Daphne from Scooby Doo costume. Or, worse yet, Velma wearing Daphne's clothes.
I was able to fix my computer last night. I believe I had a poisoned tab. I suspect it was the fanfic entry on my DW page. But after 3 hard crashes I was pretty angry and frustrated and just went off to read the new book that had arrived.
We had squash ravioli for supper. Everything I ate yesterday was vegetarian. I'm eating less and less meat lately. Not out of a desire for vegetarianism. I just don't seem to think of it. I should probably do something about that since a low protein diet exacerbates depressive symptoms and no one needs help with that when it's already gloomy and wintry.
Simon wanted me to look for a new immersion blender after we saw the Cook's Country episode where America's Test Kitchen reviewed them. But the Amazon reviews of that model were atrocious. I'm leaning toward the Cuisinart one that was advertised in the Sur La Table holiday ad. Because it comes in purple. Obviously. Also our current one still works but there is an issue with the plastic housing not being a single piece (not talking about top and bottom, the bottom half is glued so the blade insertion was easier during the build process), because there is something dark in the seam. So I am sort of looking for one that's not plastic. Cuisinart ones have stainless steel sticks.
I'm reading Eileen Wilks' latest Lupi book. It wasn't supposed to arrive for another month (I pre-ordered a bunch of stuff and it said it would all ship when the last one came out.)
I'm thinking about showering now. It's kind of sad that this is the highlight of my day. But at least I can do it more than once. And those towels are actually dry because of the extra drying between washes.
