I spent yesterday evening watching a few of my TiVo collection of Christmas Movies. And then deleting them. Trying to empty the TiVo. As long as I do not change channels with the remote---the images on screen do not waver and bleed into each other. It's not easy "getting old" even for the TiVo.
My Lunch buddy recalls trying to get propane tanks delivered by Downeast (our local business) and how they NEVER (her capitalization) return calls.........she said one day they came home to find two empty tanks (500 liters each) in the backyard.....no explanation. Just tossed into the yard. She also has had the people answering the phone ask what it's like it Maine....Does it snow all year?????? (they don't actually ask that).
It just seems like it snows all year.
I have on a thermal shirt, a cotton shirt and a wool sweater.....wool socks, slippers and corduroy pants. My hands are freezing. I need to turn on the lights....it's not even noon. Monday it was really warm and the Sun was shining. Temps in the house are 65 degrees. I never go higher...it's why we have wool sweaters and socks. Heating oil is obscenely expensive.
Well, I need to make another cup of tea????? I have two days until grocery shopping and two bananas....worked out perfectly. I'm back to taking the cough and cold capsules.... red and green. I am not enchanted with the book I am reading so I think I will stop......move on to something else. It sounded promising...a woman who writes rom com movies and a Family Law Lawyer she dated in high school who still loves her.. I even skipped ahead 100 pages....still nothing happening.
The place I thought I might want to live..... Botany Bay Condos are selling for 945K. No services included. Assisted Living 2 bed 2 bath are $5500 a month down the road. I think that is the going rate everywhere for a two bedroom here in my Town. The Assistance cost is extra. Maine has the oldest population of any state in the Union.
