Daily Notes on a Cloudy Early Morning in Maine. it might have rained a bit. things look wet.

 Something a bit different today.... a strange new index card bird.

1.  .Daughter is having MUCH needed plumbing work done in the basement at her house....and some work on her bathroom.  She is off to buy herself a new toilet which the guys will install..  I showed her ours and she took a picture.  Her father was sent off to buy new toilets when the guys were doing the floor tile in our own two bathrooms.... and had removed the old toilets and tossed them in the construction bin.  With my permission.

2..Writing checks for large amounts...I think of husband at these times....he would do anything for his girl.

3.  I will be having my teeth cleaned and polished this afternoon......I have sensitive teeth so this will NOT be pleasant.  I usually call '"time out" several times during the cleaning.  They do put something on my teeth to make them less sensitive but it doesn't really knock back the sensitivity much.

4.  I am (still) enjoying Book One of the Kurland series----  Dance Through Time. The"bad guys" have just set an old woman on fire -alive- because they think she might be a witch.   I WAS enjoying the book until those few pages...and being tossed in the "pit"- read this as an early Septic Tank with snakes.---GAG.  

5.  Like the lead woman in the book- I also would have shoveled the garbage off the stone floor and scrubbed it clean. And also taken over the kitchen.  Bread with rocks in it?????  No underwear?  It makes my old couch and the fridge sound like Heaven....oh, and a flushing toilet.  Double Heaven. A Hot Shower????- Triple Heaven.

6.  I am counting the days until my birthday and the Tiramisu Cake from the bakery.  It's still a long ways away.

7.  I caught the end part of Pretty Woman on TV and then set the TiVo to record the movie when it started up again. One channel will do that...run a movie and then run it again.  It's been decades since I saw that movie.  It's sort of like reading one of my romances. I cried during the opera part.  I always do if any movie has opera. I have several opera CD's and cry thru them as well..........I also like that French woman who makes me cry when I listen to her CD- Edith something that stars with P.  I'd go find the CD and the name- but........then I would want to start listening to it...best as something AFTER the TEETH...
