Mama Weer All Crazee Now

 

Indeed.

So where were we? Oh yeah, well 2020 just keeps it coming so fast I sometimes fail to keep up. You'll forgive me I hope. Ah well, no need to re-hash the past couple weeks. You don't come here for that. I'm not sure what you do come here for, but have a photo of Noddy. Yeah, just ignore the others, especially Dave. Ah Noddy,  how teenaged Goody loved you. I'd have married him if he'd asked, but he never did. Not that I knew him, but still, if the universe had aligned I'd have run off with him in a minute. Instead. here we are, 2020-weer all crazee now. 

Right. So here's something interesting...

There's a sunflower growing out of a sunflower. I've grown many sunflowers over the years, but that's a first. Oh, I know-2020.

If nothing else, 2020 has done wonders for my hair. Hair always looks best when no one will see it. It is quite thin, and falling out by the handful, but the fluffiness of the curls disguises the hair loss. 

I've been to the quilt shop. I'll be isolating for 2 weeks following my stint as a poll worker and I wanted to finish Danny's Birthday quilt (for December). The quilt shop was fantastic, and I didn't fear for my health as they kept everything clean and distanced. I'm happy to support a small business when I can, even if the fabric is a bit more expensive. Anyway, that's already been sewn to the batting and quilt top so now it is just doing the hand quilting. This one's a king sized quilt that will hopefully be something he can use years from now...until he gets married and his future spouse decides to throw out "that ratty old thing." You know how life is. 

The autumn garden is already providing scallions and pea shoots. This is some maple/soy glazed tofu, sweet potatoes, and basmati rice. Quick and easy, but well received. The basic recipe for the tofu is HERE. 

Still on an Instagram break because I'm not feeling well enough to do outfit posts, but I am getting dressed. This jersey dress somehow manages to make me appear pulled together when I am clearly not. Every wardrobe benefits from pieces like that. 

Throw a nice jacket over it, and done.

See? Instant outfit, if not, Instagram. 

I'm wearing a lot of black. *Shrugs*.

There's that dress again. Oh well, Rinse and repeat. 

And this one is Merino wool. And black. 

The skirt's not black, anyway. 

And it has pockets which almost forgives the terrible pleats. Almost. It would fit better if I lost 10 pounds. That's not going to happen. 

I bought myself a pretty little Limoges ring to replace the one I lost in the 70s. Better late than never, I guess. It was upsetting when I lost it, so now I feel like an old bad feeling has been smoothed over. It cost practically nothing, which was nice. 

Latest report is that there are just 25 intensive care hospital beds left in our county and the five surrounding. That's pretty bad if you get corona and terrifying if there's a car accident, heart attack, stroke, etc. I'm pretty sure you can guess how we got to this point without my elaborating. The state is 100 % open so the governor can brag about us having the lowest unemployment rate in the US. I guess if people get sick and die quick enough that makes for plenty of job openings. "We're Hiring!"

Ugh, I can't even manage sarcasm. We. Are. So. Fucked. 

Sorry. Here, maybe this will help...

 Well it helped me anyway. Alright, stay safe will ya? And for the love of god, wear the damn mask.
