Daily Notes- November 5th- Still Counting

 

I tried very hard yesterday- even standing still on the windy deck- to get a photo of the many many black birds that were eating on and under the bird feeders.  Maybe 50 birds.  But each time I moved even a bit- they flew off- so fast.....  But it was quite amazing to see them all- on the ground and in flight. Especially when the circled.  Really beautiful.

So instead a strange plastic flamingo and a white flowered cactus.

I got my hair cut.  Husband's hair appointment was a half hour later (different haircutter) and he...well, between me walking out the door and his appointment- he decided to go to the couch and fall asleep.  So much for the really expensive iPhone with an alarm.  Why didn't he just leave when I left?  I asked.  No answer. He's outside now setting out the sticks along the drive and sidewalks for when it snows.

After my haircut, I stopped to return books and pick up reserve books at the library.  My gardening pal was in her car in the parking area so I gathered up her book bag with mine.  We had a short visit.  She had errands and I was ready to get back home.  I sure do miss going inside. the library.  But it's 125 more cases this morning here in Maine.  Fourteen in hospitals. We have NEVER had numbers like this.

My car didn't pass inspection.  Some part under the back of the car has rusted out.  A new part has to be ordered at the body shop and installed.  November 27th and they will keep my car for 2 days. So that was unexpected news.

Then daughter called to say the IRS or her Health Care Provider had sent a letter saying the form for the government health care program wasn't filled out.  I told daughter I fill out all the IRS forms.  She has the package and I told her to check.  No return call for 2 hours.  Then she called.  I had done the form, it had been sent etc etc.  She was on the phone with provider for 90 minutes.  Has a new and more expensive plan.  I am wondering if they sent out letter just to get clients???  A scam.  I do not trust anyone anymore.

I had breakfast and a half of a peanut butter sandwich but still feel hungry.  It's after 1pm.  Why does this happen????
