Our weather front must have just moved through, because my head went from normal human head to EVERYTHING HURTS INCLUDING ALL MY TEETH in the span of 10 minutes. Not cool, head and/or weather. Not cool.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
It's rough being a human barometer. This is not the superpower I wanted.
I love my old Pyrex. And Corelle. I dropped a Corelle bowl on a concrete floor yesterday and it didn't even chip.

Because books.
I love the Pyrex mixing bowls msbelle sent me. They're simple and beautiful and indestructible.
I had some purple Depression glass a while back, and I loved them, too.

When we moved Dad into memory care two weeks ago, we finally had to deal with Mom's china. So I took it, and tonight I reorganized my cabinets so I could fit Mom & her Mom's china in my glass-fronted cabinets.
Mom, why did you have twenty-one teacups? Seriously. Especially since this was a woman who was incapacitated by her insecurity: she NEVER hosted any formal gathering that would require twenty-one teacups.
So many teacups, and a creamer, and a sugar bowl, but no teapot. So I went online to see what it would cost to get a teapot: $500 for a teapot.
So, no teapot for me, I think. I'll get something cute on Etsy to match.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
If you sold off some of the tea cups down to a reasonable number for you, would that get you the teapot?

Not worth it, I think. I just found a teapot on Etsy for $30 that will do well enough. I may farm some of the teacups and saucers out to my nieces, though. I don't even have room in my house for enough people to use all those teacups at one time.

Whoa. That's shocking.
Mm, purple depression glass. So pretty.
And what a pretty pattern, 'Suela! The obvious conclusion is that your teacups will continue to multiply if you keep them all in the same cupboard. Perhaps having a teapot to keep an eye on them would keep them in check.

Ugh. TCG's car was hit was parked in the municipal parking lot of the town he works at for the second time this winter. Again, no note or acknowledgement from anyone that they hit the car. So, he's probably going to be out a deductible again.
