Daily Notes for Thursday, June 25th. Sunshine out the windows...here in Maine- 80 degrees.

My son has noticed I am not in "good condition" today....My neck bones hurt and they are making a clicking noise., I am sort of dizzy and tired. Street work had begun- guys are digging a hole...has to do with the blue paint they sprayed  a few weeks ago on my side of the street.  I am thinking the "new People" across the street from me want something they don't have..?  I don't think these newcomers talk to anyone on the street so we have zero info on them.   

My Lunch buddy at number one says she believes her chimney is capped. but no idea who capped it. So I am back to square one on getting anyone out here to do the WORK.

The text wants to start in the middle yet again...I'm exhausted my neck bones ache and I give up.

Let the damned computer win and I will go sit on the couch and use the heating pad etc...I have melted two Arnica under my tongue and will wait to see if they work.  Son has gone out for lunch... says I look "scattered".....well, I guess I would at my age with no human contact for days at a time.

My only entertainment this Week has been Soccer. All my Library books were bad choices.

My Lunch Buddy has Skunk Scent under her back deck... SO things could be worse.

 

Daily Notes June 24th.-- Missed yesterday....I was trying to print out a bill and ended up with 7 or 8 copies....sigh.

 14 Million Dollars.  Wasted...think of the food that money could have bought for Food Banks around the country... and one man arrested for touching the floating scrap of liner...... You know, Donald....you could have "hot glued" the liner like you did all the fake gold stuff you got at the Dollar Store for the fireplace. At the White (Tacky) House.  Anyone have a countdown app we could use for how many days this guy has left??????  In office. 

My neck bones are snapping....I will be moving to the couch and the heating pad as soon as I hit publish. Stress.

The Soccer is still moving forward....Ronaldo yesterday.......Messi a day or so earlier.....It's a Wonderful Thing.   I have two FULL Library bags to return to the Library.  Some things that I read-- MORE things I refused to read....One had a new sticker on the cover- I'd read it a few years ago (feels like)....still terrible.  A second book was also on the new shelf and I had read it awhile ago- also terrible.   My At Home Bookcase is calling to me-- to re-read some Golden Oldies. Or just close my eyes and sleep.

I won't......I'm interested in the sudden info that Mrs Guthry died the night she was abducted. Possibly after smacking her head on that piece of medical equipment for her pacemaker?????  They did find blood on the machine. On the floor.  Outside the door.  Etc etc etc......  Should have had the ginger haired guy in Miami (TV detective) solve the case.

Well, that's me for today- the pain is getting to me so I will move on to the couch, close my eyes and hope the heating pad relieves some of the bone pain in my neck and shoulder.  Stress....  and later some more soccer.... the games are very good- few goals....no one is getting an easy win.

Daily Notes for Monday June 22nd... Sunshine here in Maine. World Cup Soccer...

 Soccer Spritzers would be welcome today.   Don't they look delicious????? And the straws!!!!!

Found an invoice for the grass cutting in my email.   Twice in May for $170.  My grass looks really really nice.  Zero fertilizer and plenty of rain.....a wellness routine.

I cannot...and I have tried....to get the email invoice to PRINT....the machine does nothing... I will make my own invoice on an index card and mail off a check.

Watching Storage Wars....until Soccer starts.   I think the mess in my attic might equal the mess in one of those lockers.

Well, I'd best get on with things and drink my extra glasses of water.  HYDRATION is my life right now. And World Cup Soccer.......I asked Son to explain "off sides"......who what where and when....... now I have to experience it in live action during a game to see if I really understand it.

I watched some Hallmark yesterday...I'm definitely OVER it.

Daily Notes on another Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood. Sunday June 21st

 I wish the image was larger....

Well, today is yet another fine Sunday......I slept well and had about an hour before getting out of bed to "Consider Life".....  My mind usually goes to mistakes I've made.. So Many...but that is all water under the bridge as they say......nothing I can ever do to change any of it...the past is rock solid...so instead I sort of wrote a book report on a favorite book...I always felt it was a funny romance  but now at Eighty.....I can see it is a very very difficult book.  The lead character was "othered" by her family.  Left out of the Weekly Sunday Brunch...on purpose.

Well, I won't be reading that book out of bookcase this week.

I have been doing major coloring work on this month's desk calendar...way more than usual.

I was also snacking quite a bit yesterday until I realized I hadn't eaten since breakfast.  Today I will try for an actual meal at lunchtime and then Sunday Pizza.   The Soccer has been quite something.  I have my favorites but that changes over time.....I had set all the remaining games to record but I decided to just "wing" it....as the days go by.  There were too many and it seemed more like a Work Assignment than FUN.

The back yard looks quite lovely and the many different peony flowers make it look even nicer. I don't cut the flowers for the house as they usually have lots of black ants down in the petals.  The Grape Arbor is loaded as is the back fence.  I was down there but failed to check to see if there were grapes.  The Blueberry bushes keep growing and making leaves but their ability to make berries ended decades ago. I keep everything because memories are down there even if the fruit is not.

I have noticed an abundance of Lily of the Valley in the back garden...so daughter has no need to bring me more plants... we can dig them right here at home.  I'd prefer them by the front steps not back in the garden where I hardly ever go anymore.   It WAS such a lovely vegetable garden... WAS.   I can no longer bend and weed...I am old.  I tend a few pots here in the house...flowers not vegetables.

I was tempted by a bouquet last week at the grocery store..... ant free????
