work Away. to Alz. B's. she is busy today. busy fingering her pants hem. busy trying to take her shirt off over her head. her socks were flung on the floor. i put them back on. then, talking to her nurse, watched her remove them and fling. ok. off.
to Old Cowboy's. to take him a pecan pie and whip cream. his old dog, Rosie, has taken up peeing in the extra room. he is Beside Himself. i remind him that we all, at some point, pee inappropriately. to just give her a few days. maybe it was the Snow? to not need to make any irreconcilable decisions for a little while. This is Hard. he is very stressed.
to Laundromat.
to Grocery. bags bags bags. all the stuff of the Thanksgiving i grew up with, fed my kids. SIGH.
o o sideways. i'll fix it in a minute. but...i'd used the turkey roaster for dyeing. and it has a clink of rust here and there. and India has gotten me paranoid. so...a new one. this may be the Only time it is ever used for a turkey.
afternoon SUN
and when i was finally, really, home....What If i use the integrated applique that Jude taught us? with the copper thread?
and this morning, cleaning the Table which will become a Thanksgiving Table soon, cleaning it of all the cloth and thread...these very, and i mean VERY small fragments of cloth...like Very, i pressed them together and was about to put them aside, in the Past, i would have thrown them away...so small....BUT
look. look how they create an image of the Butterfly People! so..maybe. maybe there in that corner of the godthing altar cloth????maybe
