Tuesday, December 3rd. Cloudy with a chance of WET.


 Another Chair.  I have things to take pictures of with the iPhone...but yesterday was very busy here and things were moved out of the Office/Sewing Room and Shelving was taken out the boxes and put together and then storage tubs were taken out of a bedroom closet so I could hang clothing- I have so much clothing......(most of it was bought at the LL Bean employee Shop the one October I worked there...)

I have clothing- never worn as yet- to last me thru to the end of Life.  And all sizes in case I actually attain my perfect weight (doctor's opinion). I am drinking more water each day and peeing quite a bit...so perhaps getting rid of fat cells.  I don't know how it works.  I am wearing new to me clothing.  I feel okay... not perfect by any means...death takes quite a lot out of people like me.  Emotional People.

I have stopped crying...which is fantastic as it was wearing me out.

I watched Three Billboards an FX movie I had recorded years ago... the Tivo let me fast forward thru the commercials.  The plot was sort of all over the place and I wasn't real happy about the ending.  I don't think I have any more recorded FX movies...so I will start in on the Hallmark Christmas ones. And delete them as I go.  Santa might bring me a brand new TiVo if I order one.  One that does streaming and DVR.

Next up will be Netflix or Prime.  Or both.  

Son and Daughter put  two 48 inch wreaths up on the porch...just the white light ones.  The center one would have meant moving the bird feeders in December......where would the birds find food???? so, just the two white ones... the third one is LOADED with colored lights...fantastic looking. Sigh.  We can possible get the birds to eat elsewhere next Spring.

Well, I finished yesterday's book and need to choose today's book from the stack on the bookcase.  I have two library books that need reading. The Tracker ones.

Daily Notes- Monday December 2nd. Sunshine and 31 degrees


 Line drawing for you today.  I haven't seen this particular item in years....but if I find it (again)..I'll finish coloring it.  I really was quite good at line drawing.....I should do more of it.

I watched the San Fran - Buffalo game in Buffalo.  They only shoveled the ice packed snow off the lines. Was a brutally cold game to watch and San Fran didn't have the right clothing. I also watched the season's last Tracker episode.  I wish I had recorded them so I could watch them again...but the TiVo was acting up.

I can see remnants of snow on the ground.  Where the Sun isn't shining.

I had a slice of our Pumpkin Pie last night with the Buffalo game... so delicious.

Not much else going on.  I have the December Desk Calendar to work on.....I don't use that desk anymore- but will once this new iMac takes over.  Right now both are working.  Old and New.  On either side of the living room.

I washed clothes yesterday and then Son washed his laundry,  I keep hoping the Generator People will return and get the generator set up for the Winter Power Outage Season.

Not much else to report.  I am trying to work my way thru a book...it's not holding my attention.  I think my daughter will be taking me shopping tomorrow.  I plan on showing her my Winter Boots and my No Slip Shoes....I might agree to buying a new pair of Crocs and putting the old pairs in the garbage bag. But that is AS FAR as I plan to go.

Sunday the First Day of December. Sunshine here in Maine...38 degrees. It snowed in Maine but not here.


 I am trying to work my way back to the sewing room to "Find Things" but until THEN, you get colored pencil circles.  And tomorrow you get a chair drawing....(there are quite a few chairs from that period of my Life).

I am off to a late start because Son and I watched Open Wheel Racing.... now I have some cooking show on which sounds annoying so I will be moving on to something else or reading my new paperback. Until a football game I want to watch comes on.....

I had to sort thru a box - a large box---of images I had  (I turned off the tv yesterday evening) cut from various magazines... Daughter had given me that task.....now it's done...and I have a plastic storage bag full of images for my desk top calendar pages in 2025.  She also returned my Doll House Furniture... why she wanted it is beyond me.

We (daughter and I) are going shopping- she says---for Winter Weather Shoes (non slip) this coming Tuesday.  Not very interested. As I have non-slip restaurant shoes I wear in the Winter and they are still great.... if I had thought to wear them on Thanksgiving-- I would not have slipped and fallen on the ice covered grass.

I had a shower this morning...washed my hair with my new shampoo....excellent.  Everything I have on is clean.  And everything I HAD on is in the laundry basket waiting to be washed.  

Birds are feasting on the birdseed on the front porch.   I need to finish my Swiffering of the kitchen floor. And eat some lunch before doing that.... that's about it for this Sunshine filled Sunday in Maine.
