Daily Notes for Monday 0ctober 5th. Dark inside the house and cloudy and wet outside,


 A walk in the woods would be nice but I would be missing that old Black Dog. The ENTIRE walk.

Some additional problems with Blogger this morning.  I managed to get thru to the blog anyway..with out calling for Tech Support.   Yesterday's problem involved "my switch " to the Slovakian Keyboard.......I am..... was.... rendered speechless.. that he thought I could actually do that. Even by accident.

Football.  I watched as long as I could and then moved on to something else and then just gave up and turned the tv off.  

I have stopped talking Tylenol and today started in on plain aspirin.  I could ask for a repeat of the dangers of Tylenol (to share with you) but don't want to admit I forgot everything he said..but he'll read this and know anyhow.  Yes, I forgot everything.  Next time have me write it down while you are talking.  Son is sharing his Bayer Aspirin with me.  I should have better cognitive clarity from now on.  Whatever that means...  I'm expecting great things.

Today is supposed to be Library Day...  I haven't ordered any books.  I'll have to drift thru the stacks... which were..... once upon a time (a few months ago) crammed full of books and are now quite empty.  A million dollar upgrade of the building and no books.  So tell me...what is the definition of a Library???

Daily Notes for Sunday October 4th. Sunshine here in Maine but temps in the low 50s.


 May have had this one before or one like it....  Im trying my best to delete images as I use them... I am also having some difficulty with the keyboard and the Computer Engineer will have to be asked to fix a few things...if possible....  I really like this image....

So we have Sunshine and temps in the low 50s.  I might need to grab a sweater and actually put on my socks....hold on..I do have socks nearby....... it also might be Time to switch to long sleeve thermal undershirts and put the short sleeved ones away.  The cotton work shirt layer is still okay but will change over to a nice acrylic and then finally a warm threadbare cashmere sweater. With lots of mending. Especially around the elbows.  This is where I use your lovely thread DebL.  The variation in color is a delight on my old sweaters.

Sunday Pizza today.   A few Football Games.  The narrow confines of my daily life continue to confound me.  Not that I mind...as I am still alive and enjoying what I do.  I finished off my birthday ice cream yesterday...it felt wrong and also right.... I have quite a few items to include in my Sunday Salad Bowl.

So here we are...in October and I might be needing a sweater.....I have book lists here on the desktop...I ordered a few things...am returning..unread...a few things.  It happens.  I did a search of my two bookcases looking for one item in particular that a recall owning....did not find it.  Found the Hatting Game... but not quite ready to read that one just yet.... I am considering a very old paperback from decades ago....20 plus years ago or even more.  Yes, closer to 30 years ago.... itćs been a long long time.

Well I am now going to settle into the couch and eventually watch some football....I thought it was warm enough for a cotton shirt but will be going back to the bedroom for the acrylic fleece.  I'm cold.  Nope not fixed.

Daily Notes for Saturday, October 3rd. Lots of sunshine here in Maine.


Son has driven off in the convertible for lunch.  I am having some discomfort from an itchy leaking eye. I must have touched and had something on my Finger Tip the eye did not like. 

Not sure I have anything of great interest to share with all of you....I did make a list on one of my index cards of the Best Selling Romance Books.  Heartbeat by Danielle Steele has me interested and I donćt think my Library has a copy..  I have People We Meet on Vacation and Funny Story and Romantic Comedy in the bookcase....also Part of Your -World. Nora Goes Off Script, Spanish Love Deception,   Get a Life Chloe Brown along with the other two Brown sister books.  Beach Read was okay but One Day in December was a favorite of mine.  itćs a good list and I agree with most of the choices.

I have never seen Written On the Body, Mad About You, or Seven Days in June.  I did not like the Dead Romantics.

Today's book is Flying Solo-  Linda Holmes.  I enjoyed her other book Evvie Drake Starts Over very much and picked this one up for this week.  She is an author from Maine.  Book takes place in Maine.

The bones in my neck continue to make things very noisy.  I remind myself of the plastic Skeleton I hang on my front door for Halloween... clack/ity. clack.  I also buy Halloween Candy and Son and I enjoy the candy all of November.  I have a Dentist appointment in December....  Might keep me from enjoying the Halloween Candy.

Daily Notes- Friday October 2nd, Sunshine here in Maine and 71 degrees

It's a lovely day here in Maine.

Art above is from some place that serves up images every so often... When I see something like this, I wonder why I stopped painting....by now I might have been passably "not too awful".  I have no idea where my tubes of paint are... I do have the large tube of white acrylic handy...but only that tube.

Perhaps when daughter drags a few more packing cartons down to sort thru (this winter) we might find the rest of the tubes of paint.  The watercolors have always been close by.....

The weather here in Maine is just great...the weather channel made you all think it was terrible with eat "storm"...we didn't even have much wind and certainly high tide was up...but that's what usually happens when the entire east coast is on the Atlantic Ocean.  All in all it was "nothing to see here".... the lights didn't even flicker.  Well, one did but it was letting us know we needed a fresh bulb.

Contrary to what you are reading in your newspaper about drought.... in Maine......my grass has never looked greener or healthier than it does right now. Out back...the front lawn was over fertilized and still looks terrible.  I blame Tru-Green for that.

Grocery Shopping....
