Daily Notes- Thursday April 30th. It's RAINING...48 degrees.

 Soup is in my FUTURE.   I have everything I need to make a nice pot of vegetable soup... I also have a can of Split Pea Soup....open, heat, serve...... either way- It's soup on this chilly wet day in Maine. Perhaps with a Grilled Cheese Sandwich on the side.  Extra pickles.

I have the furnace going...was 61 in here and hope that in another 30 minutes we get a bit warmer... I never go above 65.   My neck feels the chill.  Usually.  Before I do.

Well, I took the deep dive into the Girl from Summerhill and read until 1 am.  Ending was and always is--very very satisfying.    I save favorite books for rainy, cold days.

Daughter dropped off Library Books after work yesterday....I have a new Tessa Bailey.. Baseball Pitcher.   Her books are often "sporty"... I also have a Jane Harper which if I recall are TERRIFYING...I haven't terrorized myself since reading the Snowman.  (Jo Nesbo). I sent the entire collection of his books to the resale shop.   I am shocked that I actually read them ALL more than once.

I also own the entire Louise Penny Collection...which I haven't read in YEARS.   I do read Linda Howard's books and they are BRUTAL.but only once in a while and only because I know how they end.

My daughter is positive that Tru Green is guilty of "elder abuse" in the repeat calls to me regarding Lawn Care and my "stubborn choice" of cancelling service with them.  Next call from them...I'm  hanging up. It's times like this I wish I had caller ID so I wouldn't have to EVER say "hello" to people I don't want to talk to.

So....I think it's time to tuck myself under the down lap comforter and READ.  About going back in TIME and making a few slight changes......for a happier outcome.  As You Wish.  It's gonna rain all day.

Daily Notes for Wednesday April 29th...Cloudy here in Maine...55 degrees

 What I am hoping to order and get...soon.   Says it is also now a movie.

The book I usually get from the library does't look like this- it has a really old cover.  I'm happy the publisher updated the book.  Her husband isn't actually "lost"....he's dead.  Had a great deal of debt and the widow lost everything...house, furniture, wedding china etc. when he had a car accident and died.  But she had her two children and one beat up car.  And an aunt who owned a goat farm.

We'll see how it goes getting the book home to me.  I may try the book shop around the corner from the grocery store....I'd like to say hello to the guy who owns the place....my age.  I like to buy local. Maine is a hard place to make a go of a business...too few people living here year round.

The Donut Shop people should be getting back from their Florida house soon and making Jelly Filled Donuts again.  So I can have one.  They close up shop for almost 6 months.

Well, that's about it...I had to docu-sign a few things this morning.... on the computer.

I type and delete things that I want to say about what is happening in America these days.....but I think it's too dangerous.... and the "good plate" on the "Ballroom"  will be 100% FAKE.

Prince Charles hit one out of the park yesterday.  Good Job!!!!  KING CHARLES!!!!!

Daily Notes for Tuesday April 28th. Sunshine and 54 degrees

 Vegetable Soup.

I haven't made any lately ...but my soup looks just like this.  Right now I have Broccoli but zero potatoes or green beans...And suddenly I want both..

I feel like I slept quite a bit last night but when I woke up it was 6 am...I never get up that early so I think my internal atomic clock is way way off.  I need a reset. Or a fresh battery.

I deleted all the deleted stuff on my Tivo.   179 things.  None of it of great interest and most I had already watched and actually thought I HAD deleted....TiVo always tells me not to delete....they say they will take care of it when "space" is needed....

I am watching very very old CSI programs-- Vegas and New York.  I hardly pay attention to the stories. But do enjoy the lab work. The Miami and Vegas Crime Stories are very very ORANGE. Like the soup.

Tru Green called yet again.....why did I send the guys away who were going to spray my grass????? That's what they wanted to know...I said because I did NOT want them to spray my grass.....That wasn't the right answer so they kept asking.... Why did I send them away.......????  Isn't this the definition of insanity????

 I looked up the book seller you all recommended and they had several books by the author I like.... books I didn't know existed. Strange pricing...18 dollars or less for some and 49 dollars for others.  No reason.

I also printed off invoices for the latest oil delivery....no address.  None.  This new company gets weirder by the minute. Everything seems to be getting weirder by the minute and by the day.

Daily Notes for Monday April 27th. Sunshine so far today and temps in the low 60's

 Spring might actually have arrived.  No heavy coat needed.   Dentist This Morning...early.

Have been watching CSI: Miami and getting tired of all the ORANGE so will be watching something else today.  CSI: New York with dark shades of black and grey..........and the billion episodes of Law and Order as a fall back position....book is The Girl From Summerhill.. I surrender.

I have left over Rice and Peas still....I also could open up a can of Split Pea Soup.  Grilled Cheese Sandwich is also available.  Or I could have breakfast.....second breakfast.

Not sure what I want to do.... but the second breakfast appeals to me...

Strange to open the two large closets and look at all the white linen shirts this morning when getting dressed to actually LEAVE the HOUSE..  Lots of them. It didn't seem like White Linen weather as yet.  But I love them all and they eventually all get worn.... I have a navy wool blazer in there as well.  A different more serious me....in the past.   Only two skirts. I wore them all the time in Germany.  Kept them but rarely if ever wear them here in Maine-

 Now the waist is too small for me.  

No newspaper today as we don't get one on Monday anymore... that's it for me today..
