Wednesday, November 6th. Day of Infamy.

I have nothing to say here...absolutely nothing.  Well, I do wonder what is wrong with the people.

November 5th Notes- Haircut...57 degrees and cloudy.


 Something dark and mysterious.  Like Voting. I will worry all day and into the night... they say they might not know until morning.

I got up and stripped my bed and need to get the sheets in the washer....then make the bed with fresh sheets.  I had an appointment to get my hair cut.  Less poofy....

I now own "product" which will keep my hair "less" poofy.

We already voted.  I already voted.  He did not.

It's dismal outside.  I have on Winter Clothing..already. But my neck is chilly.  I think at my age I am having trouble keeping myself WARM.  Up to temp.  I seem to be running cold. I think a scarf around my neck would be a good idea........

I had one of the jars of my homemade FAKE ONION SOUP yesterday- my own creation.....it's salty and I did not add salt..  I think next bowl I will add some cooked pasta to it...perhaps soak up some of the salty.

I am enjoying Tracker....based on a Deaver book....I'll look for it..on line- my library HAD all the Deaver books (once upon a time) but might have tossed them all.  I'll look elsewhere.  They have the actor (good looking by my standards) walk in a straight line in every episode (at some point) wearing jeans and a white short sleeved tee shirt. He walks and walks....so we have enough time to look at him.  The point of the show, I am guessing. At the end he sits next to his Airstream and drinks beer out of the bottle.  Every week.  Count on it. I just finished reading the Lost Husband... there was one of that with the Goat Farmer. Walking around...and he had an Airstream....but that was the last five pages of the book.

Well, My neck is cold-- I need my black scarf......see you tomorrow.

Monday, November 4th. 37 degrees. Cloudy with a chance of Winter.


 Julian Yuslin-- Fibonacci-Blue Circles. I'd like to try this with hand applicated circles on a base fabric. Perhaps fabric circles from the Dye Deck of Deb Lacativa.  In Georgia.  And her divine thread. Which I hoard......rather than use...I know....I should use it. But it's so delightful to touch and sort and tuck away. Like treasure.  Yes...Treasure.

I can see frost on things outside the windows.  I turned up the furnace.  My Son says it's going to be in the 70's again in a day or two.  Crazy weather.  But anything other than snow and ice is WELCOME.

I watched nearly every televised football game yesterday plus the Formula One Race in the RAIN. Very Sporty New Joanne.  The Viking game was brutal, I think....I looked away a lot.

We also made a very very nice Sunday Football Pizza yesterday and it was delicious......best one yet. We both agreed on that.  I finished a book...The Lost Husband. Katherine Center.  One of her earliest books. Rom-Comers is her newest and is very good.  I have enjoyed all her books- some more than others.

I haven't selected a book for today as yet...Library or Book case... I am slightly more in the mood for bookcase today.  An old friend......read many times is always comforting.

Well, I'm hungry and I need to get my oatmeal in the microwave.....make some tea.  It's Monday so no newspaper......an unfinished sudoko from last week- several actually.  I need to turn on a few lights. I remembered to put on my socks......Hair cut tomorrow -- last cut lasted only 4 out of the six weeks so she needs to make it shorter tomorrow.  I already voted and am sick of the commercials on tv.  Of the pockmarked orange face.... want some lies with that????

Sunday, November 3rd. Frost over night and 32 degrees in Coastal Maine.


 Well, Frost and wool socks....must be getting close to Winter.

Son made meatloaf yesterday....the Joy of Cooking recipe.   Very delicious. He also roasted green beans.

I slept well.  I have on a wool sweater and wool socks.

Found a good home for the many Christmas Cactus. Most in bud but two in bloom.  The Library Plant Swap.  I will not be bringing any plants home.  And I might include the stands that the plants are situated on.  Not depressed......just moving on.  I have to remind myself to water them.  The plants are not a high priority.

Nothing much...other than the Friday visit to the Library for books...is a high priority for me. Oh, and the November 5th hair cut.....shorter....it's gotten very wild and poofy and I actually despise POOF.

Well, I have breakfast cereal (hot oatmeal) and the newspaper and then coffee or tea and my little dish of vitamins.  That's the only kind of pill I am taking......vitamins.  So...not a medical emergency if I forget.

Watched Tracker episodes  (mostly repeats) last evening.......can't figure out what's happening on regular ABC,CBS and NBC  these days.....programs switching times, days, repeating episodes  etc....Today is Football and Pizza.  That hasn't changed.......
