Daily Notes for a Sunny Friday June Fifth.

 A very dizzy start to my day....I am foregoing the Library and the Grocery Store.

I am going to sit, hydrate and be calm.  Son has the shopping list.  

N and I are wondering about the guys who cut the grass..... she is wondering more than I am.

My border gardens do not look anything like the photo up top.... my borders are filled with a variety of tall, medium and short WEEDS.   The Guy who weeded for me is weeding in Heaven these days.

And That's about all.  I am going to follow my Son's directions and sit on the couch and rest up and drink liquids until he returns home.  To The Nines is not as exciting as the cover comments suggested. And I have read it before....I might have already read all of them..... but there is the occasional good laugh out loud... which is beneficial to my well being.

I wandered around in the sewing room...looking for something I did not find.  I watched an episode of Life on the Streets....I was huge fan back when it was first on tv..... well see how it goes in the weeks to come.

I also discovered the 1400"s on my cable channels...  new stuff.  Who knows...??????

Anything is better than the news....As a Mainer...interesting we have a rogue candidate.  He came out of no where.....But anyone who might have a chance to get rid of Susan Collins has my vote.

Daily Notes for Thursday, June 4th. Sunshine here in Maine. Lots of it and 72 degrees.

 Sea Holly.

I watched quite a few things on tv yesterday...can't recall any of it....I did change the sheets on my bed and washed them....dried them and put them back on the bed.....easier than trying to find sheets in the linen closet.  A Nightmare.

I slept well.  No horrible dreams.  No waking up crying....well, a bit of crying AFTER I woke up.

I haven't started reading To The Nines as yet.   Fatigue has come to visit...and has extended its stay into a second day.....I haven't had breakfast as yet...blood sugar is down and so am I.

Well. if things perk up as the day goes on and on and on...I'll return and have some chatty things to report. I believe I have some bills on the table- need to write checks, find stamps etc....  Always fun.

I think the couch and I will be good friends again today...I will NOT watch ANY news.  I have been cautioned to keep my views to myself... on certain subjects.....I get carried away...say things that are not politically correct.  

That's all for today....I did NOT have the Pot Stickers yesterday but will be having them today... Frying pan is ready to go....right now I am considering oatmeal or shredded wheat for breakfast.  Hot or Cold. Either is very very nice....wishing you all a very happy day........

I thought of a book I like reading this morning.....searched the bookcase for it...not recalling the title.  Found it.  Now the newspaper and the impossible Suduko puzzle.

Daily Notes for Wednesday June 3rd. Sunshine today...

I had every single ingredient in the fridge to make these....mine were darker and crispier.  Vegan because there was no egg binding all the parts together.  And no cheese.  A mashed baked potato (sitting in the fridge) did the binding.  If I had had some bacon in the house I would have added that to the cakes. Also some cheese.  I'm not Vegan.

So there we are- I might label yesterday as "Do Something New And Different Tuesday"

Finished reading Hard Eight (whoa) and Today----To The Nines... supposedly the "sharpest, funniest and sexiest" one of the series ....since the early days".  There was quite a bit of shooting etc in Eight.  I lost count of the number of cars Steph crashed or blew up.  She still has car insurance...wow. Steph has lost count of the number of handcuffs she has also lost or misplaced.  I say five pairs of cuffs.

I was three days late in changing over the desk calendar to JUNE.    But yesterday I had to charge up all the things attached to the desk top...mouse, that little rolling thing you click on.....keyboard...all of it dead...  Now they are all working again...And I have to coil up a few of the wires....just did that.  The iPhone is still charging........even though I nevernevernever use it....as a phone.. I use it as a camera.  And even that is very rare.  These days, 

I sprayed the house with Febreze (smelled like Fritters)....I also had a shower and washed my hair...I need to do a load of wash today as well.  Change the sheets on my bed- always a workout with MANY rest periods.. BREATHING is what bothers me the most health wise.  It actually might be my ONLY health issue...oh, kidneys...not in top shape...  yep- the 80's not gonna be my best decade.   We need lungs and kidneys...like 24/7/365....

... I watched about 5 minutes of news yesterday and started gagging.....so went back to CSI and when that failed to entertain me- back to the book and another car blowing up..... I think Steph found something (someone) dead on her couch or in her shower in book eight.. more than once. We all thought Ranger was gonna kiss her...nope.  He always checks on her status with Morelli......first.

I feel my days squeezing shut.....cutting off any happy feelings I might have had in the past for Spring and early Summer... The Daily News is actually NOT something I can read, hear or watch these days. Even the Morning Paper Suduko brings little JOY to my Life...  but the SUN is Shining...That's huge here in Maine... I'll let That be enough..... and I have two leftover fritters for lunch.  And some ice cream...the tiny serving size. The cups you give to toddlers with the little wood spoon they don't know what to do with...  I might have one tiny cup left.... would be great.  If I did.

I need to add another bag of the tiny cups to the Shopping List for Friday. Perhaps a few yogurt cups as well.  Today I have Chicken Pot Stickers..  Oh Boy!!!!!   Everyone in the books says that...Oh Boy!!! and then something blows up.

 

Daily Notes for Tuesday June 2nd.....Sunshine and 67 degrees

 Another image from a long ago post of my own.   Most of my trees have dropped their flowers... the big Spring Show is just about done.

It's actually past time for the large planters to be out and filled... Patty and I would shop early...but we are no longer friends...it happens....and I will most likely not have the planters out on the front walkways this year,  change..is hard but sometimes change is necessary so you can move on.....to new things.

The grape vines are very full this Spring ...  Concord grapes.  I wanted to make jelly.  Years ago.   Grapes are not the easiest thing to grow.  The plants might only produce leaves. Last year that was all I got but the abundance of them covered the arch over the walkway.  And is doing that this Spring as well.

I have gotten to the very end of Seven Up.  Stephanie Plum and Ranger... on the last page..... Will be starting in on Book Eight today.   AS the book numbers get higher....the PLOTS get more ridiculous.   but the Plum activities are keeping me from watching any NEWS and that is a real help....because the news is terrible.   Talk about Hell in a Handbasket???????

I have every single ingredient needed to make No Egg Vegetable Fritters.  I mention this because I rarely have ALL the things needed for a recipe.  Son has driven off to have LUNCH...I just finished having breakfast.   Sleeping more these days....which is actually a good thing....

Hard Eight is next,
