Daily Notes for Friday April 24th....Sun and then no Sun here in Maine and 47 degrees

 I don't have an image for you........I stayed in bed a bit too long and just finished my breakfast and the newspaper.   Son is ready to go to the grocery store and I have a book to pick up at the Library.  I may also get to pick up the large art book I ordered. I feel like painting.

I have to decide on what to buy for my lunches this week....something my digestive tract likes.

I should turn on the house lights....The living room and TV area get very dark on days like this. Ah.Sun.

The back lawn looks strange.... at some point the Guys will show up and mow the grass.  I "electronically" signed a contract....with supervision.....

At Some Point. I will call and have the Septic Tank pumped out.

At Some Point.......stuff will get done around here.  Don't hold your breath...I'm not.

I found the receipt for the once brand new Washing Machine/Dryer combo.  Taped it to the door where the machine lives.... was expensive...but a great improvement over the old one.....I do miss the Washing Machine Pages though.....written while watching to see if the old machine overflowed....which it did do. when I wasn't watching....Machines....strange things.

I found the receipt in the large bag of papers sitting next to the paper shredder.  Which means I need to look before I shred from now on.  

Daily Notes- Thursday, April 23rd....Sun and clouds and clouds and Sun. Here in Maine- 46 degrees.

 Grape Hyacinth, Viola, Forget Me Not, Donkey Tail and Spurge.  I feel a Blue Summer Coming. When- ever I skip past the Home Shopping Network (while going other places) I see plants....often blue.

I have on Winter clothing... I turned the heat up...the HUGE Oil Delivery Truck was leaving as I walked into the living room....Best window view of the front of the yard and drive.  No longer get a paper copy of the amount of oil...have to wait for an email.  Surprise!!!!!  Not as huge a surprise as Tucker Carlson dumping Trump.....but still a SURPRISE.

I'm losing my mind"grip" on Time....I am drifting....I think it's what happens as we approach our 80's???? though I think by the time I get to my 80th Birthday Cake- I will have already finished my 80th year. And will be embarking on the 81st.   

Time has little meaning for me.... these days... I seem to drift....and that's okay and even very nice.

I have nowhere to go- well next week is the dentist...  I'll go there..... I have a baked sweet potato for lunch....hours from now.

And will look up Donkey Tail....see if it grows in Maine.

I want to go looking at the supply table in the garage....but I'm a bit "tippy" this week so I'll wait to be supervised.....I want to see what supplies I have there....I also want to find the long handled rake with the very small head.....for raking between things.  Out back. Perhaps from a seated position.  Slowly.

Oil was $765.....

Daily Notes Wednesday April 22nd, Missed a Day. Called in sick.

 Hyssop.   I'm seriously considering buying some for the left side bed out front.  They get tall. and would be nice to have some tall stuff growing over there....Also buying some as a companion for the grapes...which have returned, yet again to the back garden.... supposed to do well together.  And some for next to the back deck. Let them spread.

The blue is quite lovely.

I spent some TIME looking for something yesterday...got me off track..... I found a few things but not what I was looking for.   Finding Your Roots was pretty good.... other than that TV was slim to none.

I don't have great hopes for today either.  I will eventually give up and return to Law and Order. And to mending that antique patchwork quilt.  Replacing frayed rotted out cloth strips with new strips that play well with the old stuff.. not an easy task. I have given up on "matching" other than color.

I had GREAT DIFFICULTY choosing a book to read yesterday which took a chunk out of my scheduled. reading time....I NEVER did pick one.  There was the swamp and alligator one...sigh.  I don't recall ever actually reading that one.  The filthy castle with animals living inside? ...that was okay.  I recalled the ending so I must have read it once before.   Quite a few of those books turn out okay once the woman cleans the place up......but read one... etc..... Daughter bought me a three book series....I liked book one. Before she went and bought all three....not sure about book two...three was difficult. Beginner's Luck (book one) was great.  

I have soup for today's lunch... Yesterday I felt "under the weather" all day- not exactly "sick" but not great.  I had chills and was under a quilt with a heating pad...tried to sleep but I just can't during the day And today?  So far okay.   But already tired at 10:30 am. 

Daily Notes for Monday April 20th....The Sun is shining here in Maine...45 degrees???? Clouds arrive after I typed this.

 I have used up all the images on the desk top.  Need to find new ones or skip the photo.

My hair is behaving...curling under....not quite long enough to gather and twist into a messy bun. Another month.  My Dental Appointment is coming up soon....I got an email.

I woke up tired.  It happens.  Perhaps not physically tired but emotionally tired if that makes sense. My LIFE HISTORY is unwinding and repeating itself endlessly in a LOOP while I sleep.......I see where I messed up....again and again. I can't go back in Time and make different choices.... so why keep showing me my mistakes??????  At least it's not that ride in the dark empty bus....that dream was endless and very disturbing. I finally stopped having it........but remembered it this morning.

And at almost 80-...what new things are there?   None. I used to wish for a new cashmere sweater. I got two hand me down acrylic pullovers..with a zip necks....wear them every day now....good enough.

Some of the grass....here....is greener than the rest.  Gonna be an interesting Summer. For a Perfectionist Lawn Owner.   I have Guys who will mow....I could mow myself..... but starting the mower is way too confusing for me. Husband always got it going for me and I mowed the grass...then he forgot how to start the mower......and I hired guys.

I woke up tired....I'm still tired.....Monday so no newspaper. So I stood and looked out the window...no news outside either.  And here I am with nothing to type.  Well, my oatmeal was very good.....I have an old book to finish reading....and I am searching for something else to read. After.

I have a long scribbled list (on the desk calendar)  of Jane Austin read-a- likes...mostly modern. Unmarriageable might be in the bookcase.. NO.. Curtis Sittenfeld's  Eligible is there all alone.. I also have Longbourne....incredibly sad....  I might also have the Other Bennet Sister....lost somewhere in the bookcase.  But I have other books to read.  Pride and Premeditation?  Sense and Second Degree?  No... I might see if any Library in Maine has these....laughing.
