Daily Notes on Thursday November 27th.....Sunshine here in Maine and 44 degrees


 Well, here it is finally.....the Big Day.......

Watched some British Soccer with daughter yesterday...she played soccer in college.... I think she even got a red card????  and I am guessing quite a few yellow ones.

Anyway.......I've had my oatmeal, there is no morning newspaper, I am NOT turning on the TV because I do not want to see ONE SPECK of NEWS. ......I have a book that I paused reading and should finish it.  Before starting something new.

I'll be ordering library books today.... but doubt any will be there on Friday...I have a few favorites to reread on Holidays.  No idea when we are walking over to the neighbors for dinner... but it's a beautiful day in the neighborhood....today.

Best Wishes to all of you reading this post- Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

Daily Notes for Wednesday November 26th. Dark, Damp and Dismal.


 We have Gravy today.....as an image....why is there never enough gravy???????

1.  Cold chill on back of my neck the morning.... furnace is now starting up....

2.  Watched Law and Order yesterday and ignored Slow Burn- the book I am reading.

3.  I'm actually hungry and want to eat breakfast so this will be a very short post.  Three minutes that it takes the microwave to make oatmeal and another 2 minutes for it to "setup" and then I am hitting publish.

4.  Law and Order yesterday was NOT as good as I remember.....I will have to seriously consider Netflix..I refuse to go over to the dark side of the Big A....even though they have purchased everything available and have it ALL....right there- ready to go...

5.  Microwave is finished....you and I have only a few minutes left together....

6. Slept well on my freshly made bed....fluffy pillows etc.

7. The oatmeal is ready, sugared and surrounded by a pool of cold milk... have a lovely day... I will be watching Law and Order.....or reading Slow Burn.....I think the part I skipped is the Slow Burn part...

Daily Notes for Tuesday, November 25th. Dismal outside...and 43 degrees

 I don't have an image for you....

1.  Have the washing machine going- finally changed the sheets on my bed..was procrastinating ..OMG...looking for fresh sheets and pillow cases in the packed FULL linen closet....I had a NIGHTMARE thought that I had sent my own King sheets and pillow cases to Georgia.... by mistake.

2.  It took awhile to calm down and actually make the bed... the top sheet looks too small. The pillow cases were FINALLY found under so much stuff...the bed is made.  I wish I was a Drinking Person but I am actually worse- A Sweet Eating Person.  Or they are the same addictive persuasion?  anyway...I'd be eating.

3. Addiction runs in the family DNA.  Deeply embedded in the DNA.

4.  My only addiction besides candy and cookies is sleeping.  When things go sideways I climb into bed and try NOT to EVER get out.  I slept all day when we moved to Germany- after getting the kids off to school. All Day.  Then some nosey woman from Texas rang the doorbell for like 30 minutes and said- take a shower, get dressed we are going to lunch...she also mentioned her kids in the car being hungry and now very very cranky.  I showered, dressed, went to lunch and somehow got signed up for the next day's BOWLING League.  And, I was okay from then on...still cranky but awake and dressed. And NOT at home.  A few years later I was elected President of the American Women's Club.and my husband gifted me a Gucci Briefcase.

5.  It still feels like a MYSERY to me....how my Life evolved and then just stopped.. 

6.   I have an email and som says daughter is coming over to do something....no idea what...perhaps the False Indigo will get chopped down?????? or pulled out...  no idea.

7. Amazon allowed me to see the Romance Book Offerings again. Then cut me off but by then I had run thru what was interesting.   Four large index cards of author and titles.  December and January are covered.

Daily Notes from Maine on a Cloudy Monday ......


 Had to work on the centering..

1.   Yes, I need help.  Like everyday.  

2.   The book I ordered is at the library and I intend to coax my son into picking it up when he goes out for LUNCH. It's the one with the woman with pink hair.   I had to move the Pencil Sharpener...he clipped it with his hip....it's now safely installed to my left.  No one walks over there.  Sunday Pizza was as wonderful as usual.  

3.  Football.   I tried...but it was not that interesting.   I did watch the Vegas Car Race.   Beginning to end.

4.  I am going to remove the border on the rectangular thing...it isn't working...and nothing else works as the next to it border.   So it has to GO.  And it's a rectangle not the usual SQUARE so that might also need to be corrected. So much for thinking I can be "flexible".....also missing British Soccer.

5.  Reading Slow Burn by Julie Garwood.  So far the lead woman character has just missed being blown up by a bomb-- TWICE.  Other than the violence and the sex- it would make a fantastic Hallmark Mystery Movie...and I say that just because I am a visual person and can SEE how it would play out on the screen. All the characters staring at each other..........and the guy brought pizza. Garwood's men always bring food.

6.   Well, I need breakfast....and I need socks (ankles are getting chilled) and then...well I have a few Suduko Puzzles that are stalled and perhaps I can add a number or two to them and then come back here and read my book.  I could even drive myself to the Library and get my book....No.  Not ready for driving. Still WAY TOO JUMPY.  And my attention span?????  Wow.
