Friday's Fumbles

 The chest of drawers could just be on display without anything on top of it. It does do though call out for some sort of display. I sometimes do glass pieces. Eventually I want to do antique pottery bowls. Right now I think milk glass that belonged to my wife's mother seems to be appropriate. 

 Ann unexpected project showed up this morning while I was working with my aquariums. I was cleaning the glass of green growth and realized there was loose fish food covering the gravel.  My new fish food is large flakes and I have been overfeeding them. As that food would rot it would take oxygen out of the water. I know the water pump would never clean it up, so I took the whole tank down to bare bones and started it up again. After taking this photo I did fill it up to the top later in the afternoon. It is a lot of work to carry two gallon buckets of water so I had to take a break. 

 Ornaments with memories are the ones arched in a row in the back. I bought them in the 1970s at a mall near Omaha.  It was actually a kitchen shop but they had some Christmas ornaments laying in their window sill. It was on a great sale and I liked how they looked old. The middle green acorn ornament is one from my wife's family collection. It has to be another twenty years older than the others.  The bottom row is a new set of replica shiny brite ones sold at the lumber yard a few years ago. Now you can only buy them on line for large amounts of money as the company realized people were collecting them. I haven't seen them at the lumber store for three or four years. 

We bought a different health insurance for our supplemental plan. It has created a nightmare as I am busy trying, fighting, to get my diabetic materials and the one shot I take each week. I have a large supply of insulin from the past year so I am sure I will have to work the system to get that renewed when I run out of it. They have a web site we are suppose to follow things along as we go. I think it is junk. It keeps a record of what I finally get purchased but it is just a record keeper. We have to drive to a special pharmacy to percentages  of certain "over the counter: things.  I am going to be two days later on my one weekly shot but I will just have to start a new day to remember to take it. 

We are dropping into the deep freeze the next couple of days. The winds are strong and the wind chills are really low. We will have to get out in it when my stuff comes in at the pharmacy. Such is life. 

Thanks for checking in today.
