City:

The couple of above freezing days had an effect on fields in some areas - soil can be seen in about 25% of some areas on the way back to the city. The on-river skating rink had no one yesterday; probably off-limits. I even saw some open water on Friday on Trout River but Sunday, it was frozen again. Meanwhile, the snow in the back yard is way higher than my boots and the compost continues to live in the K.

Hot bath this am and then back to bed to recover. Feet really bothered me and I phoned Connie - "Peripheral neuropathy". So I have spent the afternoon researching that, and diabetes, and chocolate. Dark choc seems to have more good than bad effect, regardless. And I eat the right foods - mostly. Connie's overweight, drinking, smoking husband, who is a sales rep for a major "big pharm", reversed his diabetes with chromium so I will take some and pick up other helpful supplements when I go to the mill on Weds; the suggested ones are down there.

The pottery I sent on 12 March, which was supposed to be delivered on 14 March, has not arrived! I gave tracking number to the recipient. And messaged granddaughter to see if she got the books I sent her same day. A few years ago, I sent 3 packages from Lake Geo. NY and only one ever arrived. Postal service? I was so happy to de-clutter my life of those tasks!
