Daily Notes- October 14th

Not my breakfast but I wish it had been.  I had oatmeal and instant coffee.  I have never been a breakfast cooker.  I loved having breakfast with my German friend Monika and her family.  Tablecloth, fancy dishes.  It was just Brotchen and butter and jam or Nutella, coffee and juice.  But it felt so "festive".  And we sat over breakfast and conversation until- sometimes- it was lunch time and then we decided where to go to eat lunch.

I watched Storage Wars until bedtime.  My flu shot shoulder hurt.  And I didn't feel like doing anything- not even read another book. I went to bed early and husband stayed up.  Which is odd.

It rained yesterday.  And was cold.  Today it's sunshine and still cold.   I only mention this because the living room window is very large and I am looking at the sunshine.  It even sort of hurts one's eyes.

I wanted to have pizza this week but the prepared dough we use (and love) has been recalled.  A demented person had added razor blades and small chips of razor blades to the brand of pizza dough I buy and enjoy.  So... no dough unless I make my own- which is fine but not as perfectly textured as the grocery dough from Portland Pie.  It's just one more thing on the pile of things............small pleasures. Missing. But before I drop into grilled cheese for supper- I plan to dig around in the freezer.  Might be a ball of dough in there.  Very hopeful.  There is a lot of mysterious stuff in the freezer. But pizza dough I should be able to recognize.

Democratic Voters in Maine have decided to vote early and in person.  Not trusting mail in ballots. We are very interested in getting rid of our Senator.  Susan Collins. Very.  Sorry Mitch! 

Well. I have a birthday card to send and a map to find.  My goals for the day.  Be safe- be happy!!!
