Daily Notes- Tuesday, February third. Sunshine- still lots of snow. 26 degrees

 

Image I added to my wall calendar... This is how it feels after I read the newspaper or watch the news.

1.   I slept well....added water to my bed hair this morning and now it looks curly. white, and okay.

2.  Daughter brought me another pull over zip neck acrylic top....I think it was once mine... and now it's mine again...lighter than the ones I am wearing now....so- more for Spring...when it arrives.

3.  I slept well and my Groundhog Day phone call arrived right on time....I said hello and then hung up. It's a robo call so no one is actually on the phone.   But it's sort of like an extremely annoying alarm clock.

4.  I will be happy when..(they stop calling).I was going to type menopause instead of medicare for the phone call ID...Which is now making me laugh..... Today's book.... I still have 100 pages in Bet Me and then I have to decide on Anyone But You (again) or Fast Women (even more again).  Daughter went to the Library to see what's what.....one additional book did arrived.but after she had left the library.

5.  Daughter and I looked for the silverware....we found other items...a cutting tool to make ribbons of vegetables like sweet potato....and another that did some different cutting...all had Goodwill stickers... this is from the TIME when I wandered around in Goodwill looking for something...anything to buy...I was suffering from Depression......I know that NOW...  The very very lowest of points in my Life...well, other than the months I slept all day, every day....in Germany....before the Women's Club came and hustled me out of the house.  

6. I suffered from Depression almost as soon as our furniture came off the moving van from Chicago. Years of being SO depressed.......I just didn't want to wake up in the morning..... I made it out alive...but I had help- someone came to the house and rang the doorbell until I came to the door....told me to get dressed and we went to lunch.  Saved my Life......No one was coming to save me here in Maine...I had to save myself 30 plus years ago....and will manage to stay afloat now.... because I am refusing to watch the news on tv......makes me cry.

Daily Notes- Monday February 2nd....No clue as to what happened with the Ground Hog.

 No image either....

Daughter is here cleaning out a file cabinet.....moving paper into folders etc.  We plan to look for the missing box of silverware.   Someday. She's in the Attic-- might be today.

I have a growing pile of things to gently place in the shredding machine.  We can recycle shredded material if it's in a clear plastic bag.  I was NOT gentle with my former shredding machine....Not at all. and this one belongs to my daughter..  I think.

Well, I have a book to finish reading....and possibly read the last page and then turn back to the first page if NO Library Books are available.  To pick up.   I could also read the Bodyguard.  Center is the author.

I am warm enough....I have SOUP.  Not watching anything but British Soccer. Politics??....gag me. 

It snowed in Florida...in Georgia....but NOT in Maine...they warned us about Global Warming... I watched that house slip into the water......wow.  I recall cold days while living in South Florida.....Needing a warm coat but not owning one.  Needing the coat inside the HOUSE.

We've got snow piled up higher than I can recall.....3 or 4 feet of it up against the front porch.  Bright Sun not melting anything.

Daily Notes for Sunday February First. Still Cold, Still covered in Snow....

 No image- I don't have anything to share today...

1...Cold here in Maine with Bright Sunshine. 19 degrees.

2...Reading Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie,  I have several other books by this author ordered from other Libraries... They are all listed as "in transit" but that's been a week or more....possibly two weeks...possibly three weeks...perhaps the interlibrary system has collapsed??????   Something has gone wrong ....very very wrong.  This happened once before when a contract with the delivery system couldn't be finalized.   Daughter might be recruited to find and buy them instead.

3.  I had to check last night before I went to bed- to see if I had purchased enough food for the week. I have four and possibly 5 servings of soup...I purchased two, one serving containers of soup...ones I like but not enough to have a whole pot of it waiting to be eaten and I also have ham and cheese fro roll ups..  Today we make PIZZA.  

4.  I didn't buy things to make a salad.  And I am hoping the oatmeal lasts until Friday.  But I do have cream of wheat.  So, I do have breakfast back up.   I worry about breakfast more than any other meal..

5.  I did remember to buy very very beautiful heavy oranges....  four of them... Six days until I can buy more.  I did not buy any bananas...my mistake.

6.  Wrote checks for things.  Everything is so expensive now...Trump really makes a mess of things when he's in office.  He was pretty shady paying his bills when he owned a business.....now he's running OUR business the same way.......  I haven't watched any news shows so I haven't seen him lately- the last time he was reclining on his desk- looked like his back had collapsed on him.   His chin was on the desk top. 

Well, almost. On the desktop.  Son fact checks me.....which is a good thing.... Keeps me on the straight and narrow......I do fabricate.

So that's that......We have more snow on the ground than I have seen in quite a few years- perhaps ten... So the grass under the snow is getting well hydrated...and will perhaps be green??????? this year.  What a THRILL that would be.......Snowdrops have overtaken the top of the tall glass container they are in. Nice and green and sturdy.... one Amaryllis has three leaves now.... a thorny cutting from the woman who was cutting my hair- has roots and several tiny red flowers.  I'm thinking of looking to see if I have sand to mix with potting soil so it can transfer to a clay pot.

Daily Notes for Saturday, January 31st. We have Sunshine here in Maine but 16 degrees..

Got an advertisement in the posts for this sweater.   It looks nice but sort of "too bulky".  And like it would catch on things and the yarn would unravel..... I'm NOT a bulky sweater person...but it did catch my eye. And it is VERY expensive.  Might be cotton- I don't like cotton sweaters. Especially for $400. 

I have one of those choices....Grocery Shopping or Stay at Home.  We are NOT going to the library as there is zero to pick up...my reserves have NOT arrived at the Library even after a week or more...and the sidewalk is often very icy and not shoveled............the Library thing has me worried....seems like things have stopped happening.

I have time to decide.  What will I eat this week??????  I still have leftover soup.  The freezer is empty. Son had hot dogs this week....I was considering them for the coming week......but settled on Grilled Cheese with Sweet Pickles.  I also got Baked Ham and Swiss Cheese--for roll ups.

My Fruit of the Week- Four Gorgeous Navel Oranges.  

Pizza on Sunday......I have one piece left in the fridge- I might be having that after I press print.

"Hell In A Hand Basket" is what is happening.... We need a Hero.....desperately.   And a Hurricane is brewing off the east coast of the US.....like we don't have enough troubles.
