Daily Notes for Sunday October 18th. Happy Birthday Bill.

 I cut out a recipe for Crock Pot Chili.  After reading the comments I decided I wasn't ever going to try making it.  Lots of cans.  Two kinds of beans etc.  Several comments as to why they used a crock pot..... the New York Times recipes are always wildly commented on...no one agrees on any thing.

I then watched the Saturday Cooking Shows....not going to make any of that either.  I had peanut butter on white bread instead.

I sorted thru the Christmas Movie LineUp on Hallmark....I keep looking for the ONE Hallmark Christmas Movie I adore...I cannot find it.  I ended up watching a few hours of Storage Wars. And then Swiffered Up all the white old lady hair that covers all the floors these days.... It's falling out....but it's curling.

I sorted thru books to find a really GOOD one to read....And just now realized the one I chose is a hot mess...so it's goes back and another replaces it.  Tomorrow is Library Day...I have quite a few holds...

I selected Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey....  she usually writes three books in a set.

Well, Football is on today and after that Football Pizza....  A full day of entertainment.  ZERO Chili.

Daily Notes-- October 17th..Sunshine here in Maine but only 49 degrees.

 Rangely Maine.  I don't think I've ever been there.  

Telling people you ARE a Lawyer even if you were NOT able to pass the bar??????  These are Trump's People...... Perhaps she could now TRY to become a Bitcoin Saleswoman????  Or sell Pillows for the Pillow Guy?????

Today's most important job (for ME) is choosing a book to read.. off the library book shelf or out of the big German cupboard. (which is packed FULL of books.). My very own Retirement Account.  There are books waiting at the Library but..they have to wait till Monday...

I received a post card in the mail telling me I am above average in my stellar Voting Record. I wish they had sent a pin I could wear on my coat....

And another piece of mail cancelled my Medicare Provider Account. Son is hoping he can find me another provider. 

Another piece of mail was almost hilarious....my one share of stock (from my dad) is suddenly many many more shares...  They even send me a LARGE dividend check...... some one somewhere has gone insane.  It would cover the Medicare Payments... for a year or two.

Other news is that even though the Library knew the present Director was leaving in October of this year.. a YEAR AGO...... they are scheduling interviews this month for a new Director..  And this month is half over.  I think whomever they chose decided it was "not a great job for them"......and declined recently. And finding new choices is not going well.  Are we surprised???? No.

Or perhaps they are following Trump Hiring Rules????  Hired someone who was not qualified as a Librarian?   Well..I have little else to report.  Homemade Vegetable Soup will be served for Lunch... There's plenty if you happen to be walking past the house.......and not trying to scam me with house repair deals??????  Son swept the acorns  off the driveway....so walking is safe right now.

Daily Notes for Friday October 16th.... A Cloudy Damp (wet) day here in Maine.

 In the past when I had a big Black Lab to walk...this is where we went.  Onto the Town Commons.

Those many many days are in the past now....I could NOT do that walk...I would WANT to do the walk but..not far into it I would be having trouble breathing....that's how I'll die- not being able to breathe. So I take it easy these days..... enjoying each day..... happy to be able to breathe.  I am repeating myself...

The Couch.  A Good Book.  A nice warm cup of vegetable soup- homemade. Wool socks and a Down Lap Quilt.  The content of my cable provider is quite dismal.  Even Hallmark disappoints...even though Hallmark had Hudson from Hudson and Rex in one of its lame "romances" yesterday.   I almost watched ..but remembered I don't care for Hallmark this year...  I wanted  Storage Wars...

So...Zero Sunshine for Maine Today....we needed this RAIN in the Summer not now.  But the lawn is enjoying the moisture...the news of the School Shooting was so very very depressing- Five Dead (at least that is what the news reported..).  I recalled another similar shooting.....it actually felt like a "repeat" when the Principal reported she was driving from Portland to the school...I recalled that exact thing happening the last time.

I have a set time to be ready to go grocery shopping....no Library....just Groceries.  What do I want to eat next week????????  When the Soup is gone.   I don't know.

Daily Notes for Thursday October 15th. Sunshine with a bit of chill. 56 degrees

 I cleaned off the desktop..... I had images that I was using for the blog posts....was getting crowded.

I slept well but woke up tired so I reclined on the couch until I felt okay to make my breakfast ...oatmeal. And then I read the newspaper....OMG.....I have already voted so the amount of lies and fabrications in the commentary for Maine's Senate seat fills the pages without purpose. If anyone believes Collins votes for Mainers and not with Trump...bless your stupidity.

So sunshine and a chill.  I have to find something for my neck.. possibly the heating pad. Neck is making those bone crackling noises.... always shocking to listen to my bones moving around.

Daughter has dropped off a Roof Rake for use when the roof has a lot of snow on it.  She bought a new one for herself that she likes better..... son will try it out once it snows....see if he likes it.  Right now we have green grass.  

I have been eating my way thru my large container of homemade vegetable soup...nice to eat something warm when it's so cold in the house.  Son is leaving to have lunch.  He drives someplace and tries different restaurants.

I am strongly hoping that there are some Storage Wars episodes to watch today.  Nothin political or heavy or needing thoughts.....or decisions.  Just listening to people discuss storage locker contents.

I am reading Bet Me.  Just getting started.  Watched a Hallmark movie yesterday about a Philly Mechanic who discovers his real father is a Royal.. the father has a red convertible the mechanic repairs...  And then some Antiques Roadshow.   

Door bell with a shifty guy wanting to do a "thermal scan" for my house.... I don't need any repairs as I won't be here long enough to enjoy them.  Clock is ticking.
