Daily Notes on Thursday, October 2nd- Sunshine..62 degrees

 Austin Read-a-Like booklist.... tomorrow you get a Rom Com List. (the Decoy Girlfriend sounds interesting and I've read or own most of the others).  I love when a book list matches my bookcase.

Horoscope- Don't Live Someone Else's Dream when you have Your Own Dreams to Pursue.

1.  Son says ignore that little blue icon in the top right....

2.  My neck aches..Son says it's from turning my head sideways while watching tv...  I recall this happening in other years when I stayed on the couch for weeks- once with what we thought was COVID. that was long ago and it wasn't...it was the FLU.  I now get an annual Flu shot....well, I did before Trump said NO.  I'll try again tomorrow at the Grocery Store Vaccine Desk.

3.  It's getting cool enough in the house for me to wear wool socks....so it's the right TIME to start making pots of Homemade Vegetable Soup.......

4.  Lynn Painter has a new booklet....Maid For Each Other.... Gonna look for it....

5.  Law and Order episodes yesterday were dreadfully upsetting...I deleted most of the ones I decided I could NOT watch.  Will set 10 more to record today... still season one.  The CSI series  I like is still showing in the square box format....eventually- it takes months.. but they will notice and go to full screen again...... maybe.

6.  Well...that's it for today...Heating Pad, Book and Law and Order ....I also have cloth here to sew into very strange squares........nothing goes with anything else and there isn't enough scrap material to make a second one of any of them........ah...add HOT DOGS to the list......and some more Tylenol.

Daily Notes- Wednesday, October First..... with some unwanted blue extra. in the right top of this post.

I have begun reading Alexander McCall Smith's Emma.  Two pages so far and he is describing a field. An actual field.  Which I have little to no interest in.  The book has about 15 more minutes and then it goes into the return to the Library Book Bag and I read the Lottery Winners three books.  (daughter found them)...

1.  I watched a few not very good Law and Order episodes yesterday....by that I mean I watched a few minutes of each. I need to find something new to occupy myself... the last of the modern takes on Jane Austen was read and finished yesterday..... the World Cup Soccer- the camera work is not good...so I deleted the games.  I am used to the British camera work which is so so much better.

2.  The Computer Engineer doesn't know what that new blue icon in the far right top corner is....it showed up when I opened this page....he tried to remove it but it's still here.

3.  I have a few more books on the Library shelf....one of them is certainly NOT going to be describing a field.  I hope.  But then I will return to my bookcase here at home....select something I have read before... a sure thing.  Or draw things on index cards.  I did some of that yesterday... flowers.

4.   Jude posted that TypePad is gone.....I recall that they did warn people.  Jude was worried about all the years of content on her blog...... I can see all the decades of my posts...all still here on NOT Typepad-.... that would bother me a bit but I actually NEVER go back and read any of it.  I know Readers often mention reading from the beginning.  I think I have enough words written to create a large BOOK.

5.  blogger.com......free and secure...   Well, I have the desk calendar to work on- getting September off and uncovering October... the monitor is quite heavy......Son got me the larger one...I better get started.

Daily Notes- Tuesday September 30th. Sunshine..

 Pumpkin Roll Up Cake.

We DO NOT have one HERE in My House.  Bah Humbug.

1. So far World Cup Soccer is not working for me- camera placement is not the best.  So I recored about  10 Old Law and Order episodes........for when I get tired of reading my books.  Or sewing strips to my cloth squares.  Or when there is no Antiques Roadshow on PBS (but they tend to repeat the same ones- ugh)......I know they are on the PBS app....but I am not watching things on this desktop- or on husband's tablet which stays on the charger just in case something of importance shows up.....and it's a French Canadian laptop....husband made a mistake in buying it..... we finally got it unlocked.... but only halfway. It might be nice to read books on it.  

2.  Taking my time reading the last of the Sonali Dev four book series.... today I will finish  The Emma Project  and I will need to find something new to read.   I do have four books from the Library on the shelf.  Waiting...and it's Tuesday and Library Day is Friday.

3.  Looked for the dark blue fabric with the black and white circles.....NO...found the same fabric in black with white and black circles. As SOON as I sew the black/white on the square the blue will show up.

4. The tendons in my neck are tight and achy....  I'm going to go sit on the couch and stare up at the ceiling until they relax......right now I am holding my head downward and stretching the muscles at the back fm neck.  Heating pad if nothing else works.

Daily Notes for Monday September 29th. Sunshine here in Maine.

 Doughnuts and muffins.

No baking going on here...other than Sunday Pizza.  I watched some football.....not much (have any of you noticed how slow the game has gotten- time outs etc-- it all drags......and then I moved on to other things like Soccer (very fast moving) and finally Masterpiece Theater on PBS (more repeats of very old series).  Which is what PBS is now- really old repeats and fund raising.

1.  I may have found a piece of cloth to cut into strips for another set of borders on the blue square I am making.   Suddenly I have become "picky" and previously I was just "making what I had on the pile" WORK.  I like the pile idea so much better- actually got things DONE.  This looking for matchy stuff is not my wheelhouse.  "Good enough" is fine with me.  It's not like anyone but me sees any of this "work". Or any of it "becomes" anything. The squares I make- will always be unfinished squares

2.  I was thinking about this blog....about the many people I have met along the way and lost contact with. If you are one of them- send an email or comment here...I'd like to know how you are doing... quite a few of you are on the west coast.  From top to bottom is the way I remember it.  East Coasters can write also... and the Florida and Southern Readers....let me know how you are doing.

3.  I sure wish I had written down college friends ..knowing where they lived (at home) is not helpful. Having a last name for some of them would have been the way to go... and perhaps Facebook would be the way to go???? I have never entered that domain. Time for this Old Dog to learn even one new trick??????

4.  I never returned to The Emma Project....so today I am going to get back into reading.  Less screen watching.  Which is not great for one's brain.  And also looking for a fabric for the blue square.. before starting in on the purple square.  And it's IS Hot Dog Week......

5.  I set about 10 or more Law and Order episodes to record...also repeats but ones I totally enjoy watching and not bothered (at all) if I decide to delete them midpoint.  Or even sooner.
