Daily Notes for Friday, October 17th. Chilly with Sunshine...50 degrees

 Another index card... my color choices gave it a vintage look.

I have on a thermal shirt, a fleece shirt, corduroy pants and wool socks....and I still feel cold....

1.  Some items are getting taken care of....daughter will help with putting my annual containers to bed.  My Son also offered to help with them..

2.  Today is Library/Grocery Store Friday.   I have only one book to pick up and I am returning most of my selections from last week-- unread.  I'm reading a Danielle Steel right now and it feels "tedious" so it might go back early.  I think I am at the point I reach every year...when I get so bored that nothing makes me happy.  Even coloring the index cards.  I was briefly interested in the sunken find of Cleopatras's palace..but it didn't last long.

3. My Son surprised me by looking for Mont Blanc pen refills at Staples....he did find a refill with black ink to replace the refill that had blue ink.  I like black...I like black on white. Only two pens have refills... The hunt continues.  I have bold black ink Pilot pens from the Grocery store to keep me happy. To use on my Index Card Art.

4.  Medicare sign up and all the phone calls is wearing on my nerves...as soon as they start talking I hang up.  I tried in past years to ask them to remove my name and number from their lists....it didn't work. I have and have had from the get go--a FANTASTIC Medicare Advantage Plan.  I'm keeping it.

5.  I called the Chimney Doctor and asked him to...someday...come by and clean out my chimney... I  told him about the squirrels carrying branches and leaves into the chimney....setting up Winter Housekeeping. He said he'd never heard of squirrels doing that....I said lots of things happen to me that have never happened to anyone else......I also mention the neighbors had a screen placed on top of their chimney and wondered if that could happen on my chimney to keep the animals OUT... He told me he had met Aerosmith Band Members when he cleaned their chimney.   

This is how Maine Conversations go...... no clue as to whether he's coming to clean out the chimney....no appointment etc. Used to bother me and now after so many decades....I'm as weird as they are.

6. I called in my inhaler prescription..for a refill...it will be ready tomorrow...I still have 7 left on the  inhaler I am using...so no hurry.  And I need to ask my doctor for a script for Rescue Inhalers....since people will be having fires in their fireplaces and...the smoke does very very seriously bad things to my breathing....
