Daily Notes- Monday April 6th. Cloudy. 44 degrees..Cloudy with a chance of Sun- like right now.

 I'm trying to remember to slide the dog pictures into the trash can after using them here.  I like the west facing dog .  Quite a bit.  Reminds me of one of our dogs.  Rusty. A Red Lab.  He retired here from North Carolina. 

 Here in Maine we tilt a bit to warm and then back to cold. It is Maine...It COULD still snow. There are a few unmelted patches of snow out front.

Sunday pizza was excellent- we are trying a new pizza sauce- it was tasty....and after the pizza my two sweet potatoes entered the still very hot oven....I have the cheese I like to stuff into the reheated potatoes this week. (I remembered to buy it)... it melts and is stringy and gooey. Lovely with the soft baked sweet potato.

Yesterday I watched the Miami based CSI.  Usually I don't like it...but it was fine- no alligators..  AMC has a series I enjoyed once before so I set the TiVo to record all six episodes...clipping something else on the 6th episode.

 I found "Met Her Match" in the bookcase.  Hard cover and trade paper. (belt and. suspenders)  Looking forward to reading it after finishing Bad Luck Bridesmaid...I am half way.   We haven't gotten into the best parts of THAT book yet.  The "set up" for what happens next takes TIME.........almost Too Much Time. and then it simply slides into a crash landing. I am never quite sure it's a Happy Landing.  Depending on my mood when I read it- can go either way.

I may catch up on any "breaking news" I missed over the weekend.  Or I May Not.  We don't get a Monday newspaper so I just "don't know"....what's happened or did not happen. 

I know there is a recorded Soccer Match in case I need a Soccer Match..  

Daily Notes for Sunday April 5th. Raining... Hallmark has made a movie of one of my favorite books.....

 Happy Easter.....

I had to check the wall calendar to make sure of the date.And the Holiday.  I have Zero of these sweet nest treats here...I have zero Easter anything here. Sunday Pizza. After 4 pm.

Tried watching the Birding With Benefits Hallmark Movie (of a book I love reading)....just NO..... I can't even try imagining these two doing what the book characters did.  There were a lots of "benefits" in the book.  Quite a bit of serious unhappiness also.

The actress in the woman's part is one of those chirpy chatty people.  In EVERY HALLMARK MOVIE...same performance.....never changes.  The book's female character is depressed. Not one chirpy anything. Barely makes conversation.  I understand her. 

I am not in a "place" where I can read the book. 

So....what will I do instead of watching the Planned Hallmark Diversion????  READ????  Yesterday I sorted fabric scraps.....rock bottom here in Maine for activities.  

Well.....Library Items are close to being due.  A few reminders in the emails.  I can renew the ones I  am still thinking about reading,.....I have books.....I am considering Met Her Match..  It has its moments. I also am considering hand sewing a square together.  I have collections of fabric strips ready to go. 

I'll let you SEE what happens.... I hope it's not cold and wet where you are...It is here in Maine.

Daily Notes. Saturday April 4th. It's not even 10 am and I have. gone thru everything I can think of doing.

 I love the stripes.

I had difficulty falling asleep...for the past week or even two weeks (it seems)...the Full Moon has been shining into my bedroom windows....lighting up the room... and now people are up there..in Space.  Near the Moon. I thought they were going to visit the surface but they are not....just a fly by.

I have been watching CSI: Vegas.  Vintage.   I slightly remember each episode as it evolves. I watched quite a bit of CSI re-runs when I had the Winter off from the Greenhouse Job.  Time to Fill. Acres of Time to Fill....and no one to talk to.  At work I talked to so many people each day....at home...just me and the dog... he got tired of me talking to him when All He Wanted was to watch tv.  Yes.  My dog watched tv. Disliked the commercials more than I did.  And eventually he fell asleep. With his head on my feet so he'd be "notified" if I was getting up.  In case that meant food or a walk.  We walked a lot. Together.

My new desk top calendar has only one headline pasted down.  Lunar Voyage.....April is going to be a Politics Free Zone....this includes MSNBC which I haven't watched in a really really long time.

I am thinking about recording Rugby Games.  I do not understand anything about  Rugby even after watching MANY games...it's more like "hide the ball and call the medics".  Watching makes me want to find the Rom Com in my bookcase with the Rugby Guy staying in the wrong house.   I actually haven't seen that book in a very very long time...Met Her Match.  Might try and find it..read it. Today.

My Taxes have been electronically filed.  It's a miracle of "techno" whatever.   Sigh.... No refund.

Daily Notes for Friday April 3rd. Clouds....Broken Space Toilet.....

 Making.  Not me. Not now....but "before"...... I would have hauled out the felt.  Made the cactus. My straight pins are in a pale cream pear shaped felt object.  Needed to have a more "dense" filling inside...if I find something or one of you has a suggestion--- I'll unsew one side and put something better in.

The little FOX is adorable.  (Not as adorable as Dee's Mice).  I might buy the kit.  

Son says "not enough water" as I am being very forgetful today.  I had the regular amount.  With my vitamins.  BUT we were ready to go shopping so did not finish my one cup of instant decaf coffee. I have a tea bag and hot water here to the right of myself- sugared....sigh.  Plus I have HAD two 8 ounce glasses of water.   A bit of acid reflux as well.  

Growing OLD is really the pits.  

Two more sweet potatoes...will get baked before or after Sunday Pizza while the oven is hot. I have the cheese I like to add to the baked sweet potato..... Oranges are fluctuating in price as the weeks go by. Going higher.  At one point in Time- one dollar each.  I eat one every day.

In the book I am reading two people meet and share dinner (repeatedly) and really like each other.. never run out of things to talk about...I've read the book before...HIS mother doesn't like the woman and that's that......end of story.  Bad Luck Bridesmaid.  No wedding actually takes place if she is a bridesmaid.

Channel 1177 has been serving up some bloody story lines.   Not exactly a replacement for British Soccer but keeps me OFF the NEWS channels.  I will try some Law and Order today.  Daughter has gone back to Landscape Work....Spring Clean Up.  So I need to "amuse" myself.... but there are STILL MANY BOXES up in the ATTIC to sort thru......when Daughter comes back.
