September Notes- Wednesday, September 18th. Sunshine. 73 degrees


 Well, the Boozie Chocolate Bundt Cake is in the oven.  I am sitting down- resting as I got light headed.......too much activity post Bran Flakes.  The sparkling image up top was a Birthday Surprise from a Dear Reader-- thank you!!!!!!!  My Dental Office also sent one but not as Sparkly.  There might be more- but I stopped opening mail.....to answer the door and check on my cake.  And write this post.

I have a short attention span... Shiny Things.........

My Gardener is out digging in the center bed- where we will plant the new Blue Billow Hydrangea. They are not the right thing for the front of the porch as that space gets ZERO SUN.  I can water them without too much work.... until I have to put the hose away for the Winter.  September is usually a warm month. October can be iffy...so I hope it is also warm.

I showed My Gardener the compost bins.....She was thrilled. I also had some bags of soil out back.

We ordered a Whole House Kohler Generator yesterday  Won't arrive until next Spring.  So Winter with the small generator- but please everyone- fingers crossed for a Normal Winter of NO POWER OUTAGES.......Please. Snow and cold is fine...just no power outages.

My son wants to buy me a new TV with a sound bar- so I can hear (and not have the sound up to where he can hear it upstairs. I didn't think it was but old people always think that).....and a new Tivo.  But I would have to give up all my recorded series and movies......they aren't transferable- unless one of you reading this knows different.  I am difficult with new stuff.  Most women I know get very excited about new stuff..... I have panic attacks.  I am trying to get over it.  Work in Progress. (Like Forever)

Sigh.....so there will be cake and ice cream... And a good book to read.  And my feet up on the ottoman.

I tucked some of the already cooked bacon (purchased cooked) into my egg and cheese frozen pita.  A half pita is one serving. And I had two of them as Late Supper last night and then a large glass of water.....I am drinking lots of water.  Hydration is a problem in the Elderly.... so toast my day with a large glass of water Ladies. It's good for you!!!!

Happy birthday! I got two sets of new glasses today after a month of none I had both eyes with cataracts and fixed mid August. 4 weeks of tvwatching and no handwork or reading! I thought I would go insane.
