Well, if you needed any other PROOF that I have something wrong with me.....you got it now.

 I don't even have an image......I'm awake. I have eaten breakfast...Still need to drink my water and take my pills.  One tiny statin and one daily vitamin.   My oatmeal was "just right" today.  Not too thick and not too soupy.

I did a load of wash yesterday- I might have mentioned that????but I actually don't think I ever completed yesterday's post.   I'll try to finish this one.

I have two books to pick up at the Library and my prescription refills at the grocery.  Will anyone allow me to do that??????

I have the TiVo recording two British Soccer Matches....They started at 7 am.  

I seem to have decided to read books with red covers..... yesterday Kiss Me At Christmas and this one Love by the Book.  Oh and I seem to have bought the second book by the author of the Rosie Project.--a book I really didn't expect to enjoy reading--but  the Rosie Project surprised me.

I can't think of anything else to type..... I drew horns and fangs on a certain person's picture in the newspaper.  Well, I need to work on drinking my water- at least two glasses to get me hydrated....then a glass every hour or so.....I do feel more alert.... A bit more alert than usual.

And now I've begun to worry about the Income Taxes.  

It's REALLY FRIDAY. I woke up thinking it was Thursday. Sunshine, Snow and the Generator kicked on for a few minutes. (Power Outage was short lived) Possibly a Squirrel.


 It was this on repeat or nothing.

I think tiny four inch  pizzas are a good thing- more crusty edges.

So, nose is stuffy.  Still a bit dizzy on standing........hair looks pretty decent.    Reading Kiss Me @ Christmas by Jenny Bayliss.... British Rom Com.   I was put off by the first few pages the first time I tried reading this book... but too lazy to get up and look in the bookcase for another so I kept reading..... now I am wondering when this plot is going to heat up...........

Thursday, February 20th. I thought I had posted but must not have pressed publish. Thursday February 20


 I am fixated on loaves of bread.  One of the True Basic Items of Happiness.

I think I wrote a post but...it's not here- so I must have just written it inside my head....as I do- I live inside my head way too much these days.  It's safer than what's happening.  All around us.

We have lots of snow. sunshine and if I had a good view- perhaps blue sky....let me go look.... yes, not as blue as it could be but blue sky.

I am still "under the weather" as they say.  I am drinking plenty of water....I now have a shortened straw in my glass and that's an easier way for me to drink 8 ounces of water...over and over again.  I still get dizzy. so I try to stay on the couch and not wander around....I am also sleeping- napping I guess...so that is fine. the cough has gone away......I managed to get my new very short haircut into shape this morning....overnight things get wacky.

I made a large bowl of salad for my mid day meal....later I had a banana.  Today I have a prepared Pot Roast Dinner.  A try out of a different store's prepared meals.  I still haven't felt STURDY enough to stand and peel and chop things for home made soup.   Still have a feeling I might tip over.  Light headed.

So, that's what's what.  Reading the brand new Tessa Bailey...might actually have hit the stopping point. The Bounty Hunter mystery was. pretty good.... Dream Girl Drama......not so much.  I find myself putting it down.....looking for something else to do.  Hello Sunshine was 3 out of five points.  This one is 2 out of five--just don't like the main characters.  

So-- I need to eat breakfast....read the paper.....put on socks....have three 8 ounce glasses of water....

Daily Notes- Half Way into The Day....Wednesday, February 19th. Sun off and on.....


 Roses today... Brightly colored as everything outside the windows is white grey or black.

Daughter found me two new books....she enjoys hunting for books.

I am Still feeling off kilter....like walking on a gently moving boat.  But I am not coughing, my nose isn't running and I don't feel overly warm- feverish.   Like I was feeling the past few days.

And I've managed to stay wake until past 4 pm.

I am reading Hello Sunshine by Laura Dave- same author of the Last Thing He Told Me book I enjoyed reading.  This book "feels familiar" like I've read it before.  Time will tell.  California Wine Country and a Cooking Show....and a chef who doesn't know how to cook. An Instagram FAKE.

I haven't turned on the TV....4:30 and still no TV.  I saw some stuff yesterday, by accident, about the Orange Faced Imposter....so now I need a deep cleaning.......I didn't hit the clicker button fast enough. I did get to watch Will Trent and High Potential....... later yesterday,  That's about it for me....going to finish my book-- a little short of half way....then perhaps take my usual late afternoon nap.  I am sliding my way into Old Age. It's pleasant. Enough.  Plenty of Book Reading Time.

Pretty soon, I'll fill my pockets with candy to give to any children I happen to see.  And their mothers will say- "stay away from that weird old woman...and don't eat the candy".  Some things never change.

Daily Notes- Tuesday, February 18th-- Sunshine....Lots of snow and still a chance for WIND.

Cake.

Well, I know I have a cold and feel a bit under the weather...but I did a few things yesterday that I don't recall doing.   I was honest about the not remembering when my Son asked me about it.  

Could be the cold or could be that I am starting to forget.  I often wondered about what that would be like. Forgetting.....but it feels like nothing.  Just nothing.

The newspaper was dull....NO one has stepped UP to being our Government Hero as yet.. I don't expect a cape or anything but a sharp sword would be of some help.   A Mutiny.  That's what always worked when the Pirates took over a ship at sea....a mutiny...unless they were all thrown overboard.  I am thinking that would cause any Hero second thoughts.

Well, I am still lightheaded from my "cold" or whatever it is bothering me...  I couldn't read yesterday so I watched...well, I think I watched something....don't recall what and perhaps I did some reading but no book is sitting here with a bookmark....I do know that I fell asleep.  And I don't ever do that.

I also cooked something and ate it...meatloaf.  A precooked meal.  I fried the meatloaf patty in the pan..much better than the microwave.   I am now out of food so I should start chopping vegetables for SOUP.  I got everything at the grocery to make soup.  Sigh....This is a lot to take in.....forgetting.

Wow.
