I am determined to go outside today.

Got in a nice 2.5 mile walk. By the time I got back, I was “hot”. But, a buzzard followed me for part of the walk. That is a little disconcerting.

Still frustrating myself with kusudama origami. I plan on folding 4 more of these things and see if I can get them together. This model was invented by a Russian woman about 15 years ago. I figure she must have spent a lot of time indoors during the long Russian winters.
At about 3:45, I make a serious mistake. I look out the window.

Clouds. While I wasn’t watching clouds arrived. I was almost reduced to tears. I am not handling winter well.
What to do but: Make Soup.

Discovered that the cupboard was lacking cumin. Used chili powder instead. Too lazy to walk next door to the grocery for cumin. Cumin was the first ingredient in the chili powder. Chili powder which inexplicably came from San Francisco. Wonder where I got that?
And so another precious day was frittered away.
