Daily Notes for Tuesday, August 19th. 11:40am. the following post is totally not worth reading.

1. Book Shelf... three others went directly to the Return Book Bag (yesterday) after the first page.

2.  Nothing much going on here.... I watched British Soccer...for awhile (yesterday).  But they didn't seem interested in doing more than kicking the ball around with little to no purposeful intent....or running.

3.  Antiques Roadshow was decent (yesterday) but an ancient repeat. As is most of PBS.

4.  My walk down to the end of my street and back was uneventful (yesterday).  I haven't stepped out to do the walk as yet today...but I have bills that can be placed in the roadside mailbox..... (Son just took them to the mailbox)...so cancel that.

5.  A & E was the channel holding Sam Spade.  I have double digits of Dark Winds to watch on that same channel. I read the books for so many years that it's now quite enjoyable to see and hear the characters and  the words.  I still haven't gotten Netflix.  My neighbor says I'd like Prime.  Really....I'd hate everything.

6.  Each book I selected to read yesterday went into the return bag.  Unread other than the few pages I did read.  How on Earth do they get published....????? if the first few pages are so very dull or boring ???? As a First Impression...... and I don't care what they write in the cover blurbs.  And Deb- the print in your books is too small and not enough ink....I had to give up... My eyes are almost 80 years old....and I can't read Large Print Books.  Large Words don't track in my head.  Son keeps trying to get me to try Books On Tape....but I have to be DOING SOMETHING while listening....and quite frankly- I don't have much "to be doing"....otherwise I fall asleep while not listening..

7.  That's it for today...if I was a Napper- I'd be napping. (those Books on Tape could be Nap Worthy)...it's that dull and boring here... even thinking about lunch (as pitiful as it is to type the word)- which is actually the highlight of my day....we don't serve dinner here.  Anymore. And my lunch is a sandwich- not even ANY chips. Sometimes a pickle. But only if it enhances the sandwich.  This entry made me laugh...it's so pitiful. Be happy you are alive, Joanne.

8. When they fit her into their schedule...guys are going to be digging up daughter's front yard...also her basement......her Antique Pipes have to be replaced.  You can only put stuff off for so long...............

9.  Son has gone out to lunch so my Daily Walk has to wait until he gets back.....I need an emergency contact in case I fall down. None of the street neighbors are home.  Well, ones I know to speak to. Or ones who would possibly bother to pick me up off the street.  Limited....yes, that number is quite limited.

10.  Sigh......as I re-read this post.....I imagine you reading it......I imagine people with REAL problems reading it....it's all whining....My Life is all whining......my apologies.
