Summer Notes- Thursday, August 22nd. Early sunny- 66 degrees 88% humidity. I have not been outdoors.

 

Space Day

The story here- which I only have half a sentence to go by- "Astronaut accused of......."

So...

My hands are freezing- my son says it's my crappy something system... circulation.   I mention (to you all) my mother complained that I was born with ice cold hands and feet....I kicked off my socks and- well, she was breast feeding me- so the cold hands....yikes.  I arrived this way....and stayed this way. I have gone out of my way- all these years--not to touch people and have them jerk and cry out....really cold hands.

I heaved the king down comforter off the sewing room pile (it gets heavier each year) and carried it to my bed...tonight- I will be WARM.  I folded up the cotton quilt.... done with Summer. (in August)

The guys were here to cut the grass.  I think they are still cutting across the street...new neighbors.

A friend sent an email detailing her devotion to watching and listening to the DNC (every word).  Asked if I watched and listened.  I said..... I will vote Democratic as I have since I was allowed to register and vote.  I'm a sure thing.   If I ever say I voted Republican you know it's not me...or it's a hostage situation. I will NEVER watch the DNC.. or RNC....I am watching Hallmark, Soccer. PBS (mysteries) or Bones if the TV is on. Period. I stopped watching CSI:NY also.  (in the 4 digit channels)..I have also stopped watching Bones (3 digit channel)... as I think I have seen them all. And they get boring after 3 months of everyday watching....really boring.   Not like Law and Order.  But that's for Winter.

I finished Hotshot...things blew up and there was tension but a "happy ending" so all is well. I have one more here and then I might have to "move  on"..... I have a collection of a French Canadian Detective.  I might go down that road and have croissants with them at the little bistro where they gather to discuss the recent murders.....or save that for winter.  I have some  Mary Kay Andrews.... I love them. I also have a collection of another detective- very very brutal....little joy or happiness.  Jo Nesbo.  I may never be ready to read those again.

So...Winter Comforter on the bed, AC units off (ceiling fans still on), no socks as yet......August in Maine.
