Daily Notes- September First. Sigh. I'm Exhausted.


 So much going on.  So much being said.  There is hope and there is hate.  I am guessing this will never change????  But we are free to do which ever.  Hope or hate. I have always tried for HOPE.

Two red beautiful tomatoes on the front porch this morning.  From the Guy Who Now Has Mended Pant Knees.  I just feel so happy to have been able to do that small job for someone.  And have it mean so much to them.  I wonder if there are others out there in my Town who need some (easy) repairs.  

Daughter and Co Worker are looking for their Winter Jobs now that Landscaping Season has only weeks left.   Daughter has been talking to people at the Chocolate Factory.

Went out to turn off the sprinklers and the Blue Angels were taking off.  End of long runway is 600 feet away from my property.  It's LOUD.  Later they will fly over the house really low- we can see the pilot's heads in planes. Sigh- well we could 20 years ago- now the trees are taller.  They flew over the greenhouse where I used to work.  And the highway I took to get home.  I see no point in any of it. Recruitment.  

I am reading Out To Lunch (Stacey Ballis) about a woman who "inherits" her best friend/business partner's husband when she dies.  She is supposed to monitor his money and just make sure he's okay.  She has never liked the guy but now that they have weekly meetings- she is starting to see what her friend loved about this guy. And why he needs her to manage his Life.  The dead friend has a running conversation in italics.  So..it took awhile for me to figure out the way the book is being written.  It is still confusing.  I read and then set the book aside.  I gave up on the Instagram woman and baby book.

I have that load of laundry to get thru and I have an outstanding long postponed project of my own- making little pillowcases for little rectangular pillows (like airplanes used to give out).  I bought little down pillows and they need a few more cases as the ones I made long ago- are wearing out. I did make cases out of a pair of white linen pant legs- one dollar at Goodwill long ago-- but not enough leg material to make multiples needed.  I have two pillow cases that I can cut down.  It's not Rocket Science but still I am procrastinating.

Another day of "No News". And definitely no Tennis as that awful man is playing.
