Daily Notes for Thursday December 4th. Wreaths. Snow. 32 degrees (a warm spell)


 And a full moon.   Sam also brought down the small fake table top tree we bought last year.... It came with lights. We just need to add ornaments.....but Santa isn't going to visit.....we three have enough...

My oatmeal is beeping and I need to pull on wool socks....I've nothing much to say here.  But DebL and I have chatted about an Apple TV show Ted something who coaches a soccer team...Lasso?  anyway, my Library has all the seasons on disc and might even have a disc player available....

For after Christmas...right now Hallmark Christmas Movies.......and the Soccer Games.

I also have a Shortbread Cookie Advent Calendar....one sweet cookie each day.... Son has a Star Wars Advent Calendar-  with little tiny figures he has to assemble....each day.

My morning oatmeal is beeping...and I need to pull on my wool socks....it's December. In Maine.

Daily Notes on Wednesday, December 3rd. Snow on the ground. 32 degrees. Sunshine.



 We might have had this image already but the picture file is close to empty.  It snowed.  I think Son is having trouble with the snowblower....and is now using a shovel.  I can't go out and help...as I usually did. Because I'm old and might slip and fall and break something.... Life can be really crappy sometimes. I suddenly want gumdrops.  Like all the ones in the picture.  And the M&M's.......

1.   Right now....crappy is a good word for how I feel about blogging.  About being public facing. About being "dumped" on by others who actually think something's going on when it couldn't be further from the truth.  Nothing is going on... I do NOT need a Psych Evaluation.

2.   Famous last words (about 2 hours ago)  as we had several purveyors of snow plowing stop by and plow after Son had done the snow blowing.  They even plowed NEXT DOOR by mistake- very unhappy neighbor. Son went over and apologized.... they used wrong address on their mailings... of contract I didn't sign or return.

3.   I pasted snow images on the desk calendar......over number one and close to number 2. I changed the calendar this morning ...a bit TARDY.  Day three is under the desk top computer stand...

4.  DebL is telling me all about Ted Lasso on Apple TV.  Raunchy Soccer something... Son mentioned all the various hoops and etc that need to come together for me to have Apple....I don't have Netflix anymore because I got tired of all the "mess" long before Son lived here........at that point in my Life I had little experience with tech... and it's frustrations...now it's a daily thing...and yes, I do yell up the stairs to say "we have a problem" but not as often as in the beginning....and I was really easy going about the computer change over....even though I expected it to be AWFUL.  I like the new Mac.  It likes me, I think.

5.  Well, I have stuff to do- It's Wednesday.....I know I am missing a Soccer Match....and my back up plan is Law and Order Oldies.  And my neck is cold so a scarf would be nice.  A friend sent a plan to make A HAT from an old sweater....think I have one??????  No old sweater but I do have a nice hat...well, more than one.... good enough.

Tuesday December 2nd. Snowing here in Maine. Everything covered in white.


 You get my little ball of thread ends....  It's right here on the desk...

1...I watched some old Law and Order yesterday....back to back... and then something else. Not something I usually watch...but right now I can't recall the name of the show.... perhaps a Law and Order spin off.

2....I had three meals yesterday...which is an improvement and I drank all my glasses of water.... to keep my brain hydrated.  I tend to go off track without the water.  I am still not interested in reading...it happens every so often.   I haven't read a book straight thru in days.  A full week????  My eyes are tired.

3....I am annoying.people.....which is okay as they are annoying me as well.

4....Patty is sending messages re: A Miter Saw.   Hoping there is one in my late husband's workshop. She sent pictures....so I or my son might go looking for such a thing....in the workshop.  For cutting firewood into smaller pieces.....for her woodstove. Which heats her house.

5....We will have to shovel snow today...  well, Son will....he doesn't want me to do ANY of that. I might fall and hit my head.  Be even weirder than I usually am.....

6.   I never did finish the large rectangular cloth  (well placemat size is large for me right now) and didn't even considered the pile of blue strips for a small square.  I took the large rectangular cloth apart.

7.   I will be having oatmeal, decaf coffee and the newspaper....putting my socks on... keeping myself to myself......and Connie I might give thought to making those cookies.......but we still have pumpkin pie. and best of all- Cool Whip.

Daily Notes for Monday December First. Sunshine, wet streets and 36 degrees in Maine.


 Cranberry Grilled Cheese and Turkey.   Not being served HERE.  But could be if I had bread....but I hardly ever actually have bread.....I have flour tortillas.  It could work.

1.    I collected the garbage a day early.... mea culpa.  I blame the Hallmark Christmas Movie I was  SORT  OF watching..... the last of the Season...... then back to Law and Order.   I just needed to get up and "do something" and not watch.....anything,

2.    Soccer was "less than" yesterday and followed by "dismal" Football.  What IS GOING ON????? Soccer and Football are my "Fall Back" positions for when I have absolutely Nothing to DO...I even broke protocol (my own) and watched the shopping network try and sell me the new and improved VitaMix. I don't use the one I already own..........I used to....but I used to do lots of things I no longer do.

3.   I always make my bed. Before I leave the bedroom to read the paper and eat breakfast and do the Suduko.  Always.

4.   We still have Thanksgiving Leftovers.... and we have Pie with Cool Whip.  Life is good.  

5.   I have plans to actually finish reading the book I have been reading for two days now....today I finish it.  I have no plans for additional reading.....I have been wanting to make a new square...blue this time. I have blue strips of fabric ready to go......all I need to do is thread a needle.

6.  Finally a good Hallmark Christmas Movie...I recorded it and will watch it again... I also have the Holiday set to record...I believe--I hope--- it's the movie I think it is.....snowy cottage etc. Jude and Cameron.   If not- I will delete it and watch Law and Order.
