My Hot Water Bottle and Not Good Morning

Just read an article in the New York Times Magazine section
that made me smile.   It was about using hot water bottles and that the Sanger brand from Germany
is the best.

Night after night on these cold damp nights I fill the bottle with hot water (being careful)
and put at the foot of my bed, so comforting in this home by the damp woods.

After reading the article went on Amazon and did not realize they made a small personal size one.
Just ordered as this size great to put at my lower aching back as I read or watch the horrible news.    Some use an electric blanket at night but not this one as drying to your skin.  I smile as oldest granddaughter in cold N.Y. uses a hot water bottle.   Have read that in England they are placed

at the end of the bed in Inns and Hotels....

An awful morning, new small mixer using and the mixer blades came loose and spattered dough

everywhere, was making banana bread and so upset I forgot the Black Walnut flavor which adds
a lot to this bread, still so good.  Also it did something to the breaker box and finally corrected and restored
current. My Janie said "mama it could have been worse"  I know but a lot to handle this early morning

So  mess has been cleaned up in my kitchen and  Cabbage soup simmering.
Trying to eat healthy and chopped Cabbage, chopped carrots, onions, celery and small potato with an addition of  chopped Turkey Polish Kielbasa add about 4 cups of water and I simmer about 1 1/2 hour
 will be tasty with   Fresh Mozzarella cheese I like and hearty bread..
