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!!!!

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..

Daily Notes for Sunday April 26th. Sunshine here in Maine and 51 degrees- cold in the house.


 Shits fired at the Presidential whatever it was...they had on Tuxedos.  Okay that was a mis-spelling for "shots" and I started laughing when I spell checked...  It stays.

Sunday Pizza today....already looking forward to it.

I am considering ordering some books from Amazon.  I am compiling a list.....slowly.  Only one book so far and I don't think it's in print anymore. Daughter has had no luck finding it. The Lost Husband. Author is Center.

Luck...I might just read the three Luck trade paper books....About the three friends who share a winning lottery ticket. I sort of liked book one.- I didn't like book three... never bothered to read book two.

The trade paper books I bought at the music store- are not looking great.....I started one and had to STOP.....absolutely NOT what I like to read.... ICK.

I do have the Vancouver Police Procedural Series in the book case.  Gritty but Cozy.

Watching 3 to 5 episodes of CSI Miami and/or CSI New York these days... Recorded so I can fast forward thru the boring stuff.  Yesterday was not a great day--I fast forwarded thru All the recorded episodes.  I've actually seen them ALL- in the past with Riley...sort of like what we did with Law and Order. There were some episodes the Dog really got into....past life experiences I think.  Growled if I tried to fast forward.

Perhaps some recorded British Soccer.  Today. Always a "good thing". To watch.  Then Pizza.

I found a fabric to cut into squares to add to the small rectangular finished quilt I don't like....It needed something "light" as there was way too much DARK blue touching....is boring.  Or off center-- it's something this Virgo finds annoying.  I have the new squares pinned to it- no final sewing as yet. Just occasionally looking at it. Moving things from here to there......again and again. Eventually, all the new pieces will work or be removed......

That's it.  I need to tuck my coffee into the microwave for a re-heat....  turned up the heat...bit of a chill in the house.  10am....I've done quite a lot and it's only 10 am.  Today is going to be ENDLESS...
