The first word that just came to mind were “fuck a duck”
Well at least it rhymes.
I know I am blathering some coherent some nice prose. In days to come it will get better
My eyes are more red and puffy than they have been because of my cold, they have now been further exasperated by sobbing and wiping the tears away.
I keep finding myself holding my breath, I don’t think it is intentional and I know I need to remember to breath but every so off I feel it catch hard. It is kind of a shock and I remember why and cry again. It is not a cry I have felt before today. It is hard soul wrenching.
So much is caught up in this. Love and hope that are now lost. Future plans never to be made.
Worst of all having to be the one to call or write to others to tell them, The silence the anger the tears, none of it and all of it directed at me. My words have helped to break some hearts but it really is not fault of my own. They know I am as hurt as they are but it really doesn’t help.
While I wait for it to get better I clean and I hug my family.

Day 17...
Sorry I am pissy about all of this.
Today I spent a lot of time at my computer. I was watching things unfold in Madison, filled with the pride at thoes who stand up for their rights, guilt because I was home sucking on my own mini-crisis instead of being with them and horrified at the indifference the people that have pledged to up hold the state looks at them.
The whole time I knit or fought the cat over computer cords and knitting needles. So I finished one coaster, made a temporary anti cat cord protection system (Ok that is a year holder/trainer that I called into service)
Tonight I took my pictures. We are foggy tonight. I hope that comes through in the pictures it is a blanket that covers us making all quiet.
My kids are off school tomorrow. We will make some signs to support their teachers and nurses our garbage men and our snow plow drivers....

Day 15
It has become a bit scary in wisconsin as of late. If you search for Wisconsin in the News you may see pictures of protest rallies and our Governor and what is going on hear. It is not good. I really wanted to be at the protests today. If I can fix my mood I will tomorrow.
Any way I did write my legislators today so that is my major thing I slo started a new coster late tonight and will probably finish it before Craig Ferguson is over but I wnated to post before things got away from me today.
So a picture of the letter, 2 Pictures of my view out my front door and the coster in progress.
Days 12, 13, and 14…A bit late....
My back is in pain and this weekend seem to become a wash of nothingness pretty fast. I felt a lot of “I got up what more do you want from me.”
I did finish the dishcloth I started on Friday,
I also started a coster on Sunday
On Saturday night My husband and II made up a fish recipe.
I am usually a bit reluctant to mess with written recipes for fish. I didn’t want to go shopping nor did I want to order in. So I used what we had in the house. I didn’t think about it until the dishes were licked clean that it could be my thing.
But I have a recipe from my head:
1 lb white fish in fillets (tilapia is best)
3-4 T Olive Oil
1 can artichoke hearts
1 Roma tomato
1 tsp Basil
1 tsp marjoram
1 tsp Garlic powder
Salt and Pepper to taste
- Drizzle 1-2 T of oil on bottom of 13x9 glass baking dish.
- Place Fish in single layer on top of oil
- Drain artichoke hearts and top fish
- Cut tomato in to wedges (about 8) and top fish
- Drizzle 1-2 T of oil on fish and vegetables
- Sprinkle with seasonings and cover dish with foil.
- Bake in 400 degree oven until flaky 12-20 minutes.
- Serve with a fresh baked bread.
Yummy

Day 9 - lights
I have climbed into bed haven finished the day.
I have a friend who is an artist. She always has been but many years ago she got an MFA. She lives a creative life some might call it bohemian. We have not lived in the same stae since we were 16 and that was a long time ago.
She has started blogging and sharing some of her artistic endeavors. Some entries come as instructional recycled crafts. Today I decided to try one. I didn't find my hole punch (at least the one I would use on this project) you can find my friend, Holly's directions at http://thelemongrove.blogspot.com/2011/01/reuse-project-1-aluminum-can-stuff.html
They are aluminum can candle holders. I made one, my attempt can be seen in two of these pictures.
I did finish the dishcloth from yesterday. It reminds me of a granny square. And I am not sure if I like how it turned out. I am going to try the pattern again, later.
And I did take my daily night shot of the view out my front door I caught a car on one and feeling self conscious I moved the camera. I like the movement in light in it, so you get two again tonight.
