Daily Notes from Maine at 90 degrees, sunshine and not one bit of breeze. 65% humidity.

Feels like a greenhouse... outside.

Son has proactively gotten the AC units working and I have closed all the window blinds...it's the way I learned to do it while sweltering in Georgia Heat....minus an AC unit.......while pregnant. Good Times.

I am back from uncovering and heavily watering the containers......I filled bottles with water in the kitchen in case I need to do a second  emergency watering. I WILL NOT be walking today.

1. I used my Air Fryer.  To make my lunch yesterday.  Today I will have the same lunch but cook the frozen dumplings in water and then fry them when the water evaporates.. Unless boiling water seems like too much...heat. Then I will have a cold slice of leftover  pizza and a big salad.

2. The first old Knights in Shining Armor book was fantastic.  The second- I barely made it into the double digit page numbers before giving up..... there is ONE I recall liking quite a bit...but digging thru all the books (2 dozen?) to find it.....can't see it happening.  And...NONE of the spines are cracked or even bent... there is zero evidence I read them.  But I did as I recall ALL the story lines written on the back covers.

3.  I am cheerfully going to watch two episodes of Antiques Roadshow today.  Recorded them yesterday and more are teed up on the TiVo. in next few days.

4.  I am considering painting a little something today.  Just because I truly enjoy painting.  My three little line drawings were a reminder of an assignment when I took Drawing 101.  I also took Figure Drawing. And History of Art.  And Print Making. (a C).  And Watercolor Painting - (my first A).....I was also, unknown to me- deeply depressed and should have been on drugs or seeking therapy.  It all seemed like every other day of my life since middle school..the darkness seemed normal. How very very sad.
