Field Notes- Saturday, October First. CHILLY- I had to get the furnace going. I need to be wearing socks.


 I wrote the names of the artist's on my desk calendar and then covered the writing with pasted art. I got the Art from Little Somethings in the sidebar.  Or Something.  I can't recall how it's listed.

I liked this because it used paper and print.  I like doing that in collage--mixing paper, print, oil pastels etc. so this is for you to look at and for me to remember.  When I get out paper and paste again.

The larger AC unit is out of the window in the dining room/kitchen area.  On the floor.  It can remain there until some strong person comes to the house.  Husband removed it himself while I was still asleep.  And it didn't fall outside into the dirt- as it has a few times....  I have the door to the guest bedroom shut- that room has the bedroom wing AC unit.

I changed out batteries in the thermostat units and now have the heat up to 60 in the bedroom/baths and 64 here in the living room.  Still chilly but that's why we wear socks and sweaters.  The Governor sent  G and I checks for $850 each to help cover the oil bill for heating this Winter.  It's something but hardly covers the 4 digit bill..  The guy running against her would have done nothing-- a Republican.  And a Lying Asshole with his Lips Firmly on Trump's Ass.  He's been Governor twice and wants to make it three times.  I am hopeful that he doesn't.  Voters in quite a few states are in the same situations.

All we can do is Hope.  And Vote.

After I hit publish I am going to go find my sweater and a pair of wool socks.

I am reading another of Julie Murphy's books.  She also wrote If The Shoe Fits (a Prince Charming and Cinderella story about a plus sized girl doing the Bachelor Type Contest on TV.  She also wrote some very nice YA books.  I just finished my second reading of Dumplin' about Misfit high school girls doing a Beauty Contest type thing.  It's a lovely book.  Both books are.  And so I picked up a Merry Little Meet Cute off the new book shelf by this author.

And what to my "wondering eyes did I find" but a Hallmark style Christmas Movie being filmed by half the regular Hallmark crew and half the crew from a Porn internet channel.  By page 83 I knew I would NOT have had ANY complaints about the "kiss" between the Duke and the Pretty "Shy" Female interest in THIS Particular Movie.  I am going to find a sweater, some socks and then sit down with a cup of something and read this book.  And then, next week, if it lives up to the expectations.....order the book from my independent book seller........onward- to the sock basket and the sweaters......It's Cold in Maine.
