Summer Notes- Saturday, August 31st. Cloudy 60 degrees 89% humidity.

No image this morning as we have the spinning ball of death and the Cloud (which I do not EVER use) is out of order and is also spinning.  So..going forward- no images.  We will still have words until that also composts itself.  This computer is really old and Son has procrastinated on ordering a new one.  He really does take after me.... 

I am reading the first book in a series by Linda Howard.  I remember reading them years and years ago. Not for the faint of heart.  One book sticks with me and my library possibly does not have it anymore or never did- I might have read it while taking care of my dad years ago in Ohio.  A woman, A soldier, is left behind in the desert----not on purpose...and she has to try and keep moving and NOT be ambushed and killed.  The being left behind......that's difficult for her to deal with..... at the time and after.

In this one a man (a soldier) is recovering from being shot in the chest just missing his heart. He is a target and the people who shot him are looking.... he's being hidden in a house in the woods near a small Town. The owner of the house is the Chief of Police but only for paperwork purposes. You would find all this out in the first 40 pages.  So I am not spoiling any of the plot.  I would NEVER do that.

The NYT had a multi-choice quiz on why the man who shall not be named (here-ever) got into trouble at Arlington Cemetery.  I got the answer right.  Using/filming a soldier's burial etc for a campaign commercial. UGH!!!

Well seems we have a theme here.

Grocery Shopping was good.  I think we bought everything we needed.  It's Hot Dog Week for me.  I have dogs and buns.  And the dogs will be fried in butter on my new induction stove- until crispy unless I burn them in the Toaster Oven.. (I like both methods) We will be having pizza tomorrow as usual.  No Football but Formula One Racing in the morning.. I saw in the paper they had practice yesterday.  

We will NOT be watching the Patriots  but will likely be watching Mahomes/49ers.  They just picked up the favorite back up quarterback from the Patriots-  Bailey Zappe.  Gotta wonder ????  I still detest the Tomahawk Chop and always will. I'll stop watching if Swift is in the upper boxes... not a fan. So, very not.

I did a second load of laundry.  I might do a third today.... I am waking up from the long goodbye. Next up is mopping the bathroom floors and dragging the central vac out for a go round.. on a regular schedule. Like I used to...before...... it's been quite a year.....recovery has been very slow.  Looking forward to my birthday.  Spent the last one in ER.
