Daily Notes for Saturday May 2nd. Rain, clouds and a new desk calendar page.

 I've spent some time pasting a few things on this new calendar month. some line drawings I made and a few other things....

I love the simplicity of this kitchen.  I'd get rid of the small carpet.  I'd like a window over the sink. Or across from the sink like mine is.

I had a whole post written and decided I didn't like any of it.   I'm at this point...where I dislike almost everything and think most things are too tedious to actually get involved in....... or are so beyond my physical capabilities that sitting on the couch is all I can do...safely.

I haven't chosen a book to read as yet.....I did get a Baker and Taylor book off the FREE BOOK cart.- a book the library "rented' instead of buying...I guess they decided not to return it to its owner either. It's  a mystery thriller type....I have a few in the bookcase- not this author though.  I checked out two Linda Howard books yesterday...both are creepy.  But I know what happens  (read multiple times) no one dies. so I am okay reading the safe pages and skipping the not safe ones.

I bought Tessa Bailey's new book...Catch Her If You Can...  got to page 31 and that's as far as I am going. I had high hopes for it being as great as the earlier books.....not happening.

So that's it for today...

Daily Notes for Friday May First. Sunshine here in Maine but CHILLY.

 Yellow flowers today.  I'm not a real fan but husband liked all things yellow.

Grocery Shopping and dropping off books at the Library.  Regular Friday stuff.  Warmer weather is always a nice addition to Friday Chores.  Figuring out what jacket to wear is the most difficult part of Friday.

I've been adding more cheese to my regular Toasted Cheese Sandwiches. More pickles as well.  That's about as interesting as my day gets......and it's really topped up the interest for me.

I should stop typing right now....but I did read my two favorite Devereaux books back to back... and stayed up past midnight with both...good times.  Very very good times.

So I have been asked about my "energy levels" post oatmeal and I replied they are excellent...so we'll be leaving for the grocery store in minutes......I have on a cotton shirt and not a fleece or sweater today.  May prove to be TOO SOON and I might need to change over to something "warmer"..... one never knows here in Maine as the OCEAN sends a Chill Air over us even in July and August.  Certainly in May.

Well, I have to get my brain in gear for grocery shopping....so I have the correct amount of food in the fridge to keep me happy.  Bananas this week???...Potassium. I have two pears and an apple in the fruit bowl... left over from other shopping days.  I might check out the oranges....... I always like them.  

My Annual Flu shot may actually have a positive effect on Dementia...good news.

I got Bananas and some salted mixed nuts....as a "treat".  Skipped the ice cream.

Daily Notes- Thursday April 30th. It's RAINING...48 degrees.

 Soup is in my FUTURE.   I have everything I need to make a nice pot of vegetable soup... I also have a can of Split Pea Soup....open, heat, serve...... either way- It's soup on this chilly wet day in Maine. Perhaps with a Grilled Cheese Sandwich on the side.  Extra pickles.

I have the furnace going...was 61 in here and hope that in another 30 minutes we get a bit warmer... I never go above 65.   My neck feels the chill.  Usually.  Before I do.

Well, I took the deep dive into the Girl from Summerhill and read until 1 am.  Ending was and always is--very very satisfying.    I save favorite books for rainy, cold days.

Daughter dropped off Library Books after work yesterday....I have a new Tessa Bailey.. Baseball Pitcher.   Her books are often "sporty"... I also have a Jane Harper which if I recall are TERRIFYING...I haven't terrorized myself since reading the Snowman.  (Jo Nesbo). I sent the entire collection of his books to the resale shop.   I am shocked that I actually read them ALL more than once.

I also own the entire Louise Penny Collection...which I haven't read in YEARS.   I do read Linda Howard's books and they are BRUTAL.but only once in a while and only because I know how they end.

My daughter is positive that Tru Green is guilty of "elder abuse" in the repeat calls to me regarding Lawn Care and my "stubborn choice" of cancelling service with them.  Next call from them...I'm  hanging up. It's times like this I wish I had caller ID so I wouldn't have to EVER say "hello" to people I don't want to talk to.

So....I think it's time to tuck myself under the down lap comforter and READ.  About going back in TIME and making a few slight changes......for a happier outcome.  As You Wish.  It's gonna rain all day.

Daily Notes for Wednesday April 29th...Cloudy here in Maine...55 degrees

 What I am hoping to order and get...soon.   Says it is also now a movie.

The book I usually get from the library does't look like this- it has a really old cover.  I'm happy the publisher updated the book.  Her husband isn't actually "lost"....he's dead.  Had a great deal of debt and the widow lost everything...house, furniture, wedding china etc. when he had a car accident and died.  But she had her two children and one beat up car.  And an aunt who owned a goat farm.

We'll see how it goes getting the book home to me.  I may try the book shop around the corner from the grocery store....I'd like to say hello to the guy who owns the place....my age.  I like to buy local. Maine is a hard place to make a go of a business...too few people living here year round.

The Donut Shop people should be getting back from their Florida house soon and making Jelly Filled Donuts again.  So I can have one.  They close up shop for almost 6 months.

Well, that's about it...I had to docu-sign a few things this morning.... on the computer.

I type and delete things that I want to say about what is happening in America these days.....but I think it's too dangerous.... and the "good plate" on the "Ballroom"  will be 100% FAKE.

Prince Charles hit one out of the park yesterday.  Good Job!!!!  KING CHARLES!!!!!
