Sunday Sep 19 Day 109

Weather report: Rain going on for hours and hours. It is now 5:30 in the evening and it has been raining for the last 12 hours with no pauses. It has been a very cold and gloomy day.

I have just discovered an interesting fact. I play better scrabble in the mornings than I do in the evenings. My top 3 scores were played this morning. I am on a roll.

I am typing this with a pair of gloves on (there are some interesting spellings). They are thermal gloves that fit tightly (women's medium size). It is 60 degrees inn the apartment but the high humidity makes it seem much colder.

One of the pleasures I have found is putting dry, warm socks on in the morning. Nothing is dry at any time except when I am cuddled down in bed in the morning. I remember being told that the dhobi (laundry man) would have his children sleep on the wet clothes to dry them out. I use this method for my socks. I sleep on them (I do have to chase them down as the socks tend to wander around under the covers). I solved the wandering problem by tucking them over the waistband of my long johns (which I sleep in). In the morning the socks are dry ad warm but my shirt and pants are just plain wet. They will dry out in a couple of hours unless I go out in the rain and get them wet again.
