Daily Notes- A Sunshine Day

 Yesterday and Today.  Yesterday we skipped lunch and went to get Dairy Queen.  The refection at the bottom left is husband's handicapped thing.  So he can park next to the front door of businesses.  But what I wanted you to see- most of all--was our Maine Sky.  And at the moment I took the picture- no traffic. this Town with the DQ is pretty rundown.  They do have an ever expanding new Business Park and Retail Sector farther down the road.  But this area is still mostly rental units in run down old farm houses.

Today- already- I have had to find my husband's bottle of Daily Vitamins.  Again. 

There are issues between my daughter and I that have reached a tipping point.  Someday I will be dead and gone (sooner than she imagines).  I am doing my best with "tough love" to get her prepared for this but she refuses to change. In some Future Time she will have to make financial decisions on her own. Get her own taxes done (not by me).  Now is the Time To Practice. Not later when I am living happily in assisted living.  

Husband is checking in the shed to see if we own a rototiller.  We did once.  He is not sure he has seen it lately. I may set aside some time today to just sit and cry. 

I also- now that the hoses are out of the cellar and set up around the outside- might wash my car.  I was thinking of asking husband to go get gas in my car and then run thru the car wash.  It seems too complicated.  But I do need a tank of gas.  And the car does need to have all the winter road salt washed off.

I am reading a fascinating book.  Jane in Love.  Rachel Givney.  Jane Austen is feeling old and unwanted by any suitors and fears she will never be loved.  She visits an old woman, makes a wish and is transported to modern day England and onto the set of a Jane Austen inspired movie.

 She is staying with the movie's star who thinks Jane is part of some secret  hidden camera show the producers are filming without her knowledge.  I have gotten as far as Jane experiencing her first shower with indoor plumbing, meeting a man (the movie star's brother), and her first modern clothing- pants and a shirt.  

Her hostess has shown her the 7 published books Jane Austen wrote and taken her to to Jane Austen Museum.  The longer Jane stays in modern times- the more her books begin to disappear and she begins to have never existed.  Jane must choose.  Love or Books.
