And other ramblings of an overstrained brain…

     All the clocks and watches in this house are turned back an hour.  The batteries on the smoke alarms are new again.  Crap, this means winter isn’t far off.  I don’t like snow, ice, and cold.  I live with it because DH can’t stand a warmer climate and I hate southern summers.

     Yes, I am weird and far from fashionable.  I wear my flip-flops year round except in the snow when I change into winter boots to go outside.  For that reason, the other day, I did get a start on some warmer clothing for winter.  I bought some Tabis.  You can’t imagine my delight when I found a place that sells them.  I bought seven pair.  If you don’t know what Tabis are, they are Japanese socks that have the big toe separated from the other toes.  I wore them as a child.  The ones I wore had tiny brass clips that fit into threads on the back of the Tabis to close them.  The modern ones have no clips. 

     I have very happy feet now.  There are no sock bunches in between the toes, and my feet are warm enough.

     I love you and miss you terribly baby sister.  Happy birthday, Mary.
