Daily Notes--Tuesday, November 19th. 48 degrees and Sunshine. Highs in the 50's later today.

 I'm going with no image today...the file is almost bare. And what IS there looks like Christmas.

Today I am going out with my new Assistant--(daughter) and we are stopping at the grocery to pick up my prescription and a box of Oatmeal.  My son has retired from the Assistant-ship Position he has held for one year.  I would have to wait till Friday (regular shopping day) to go to the grocery store........with him.

Then she and I are going to shop for colored pencils. A larger set with more variety.

There is somewhere else we are going- oh, Reny's to look at stuff and perhaps buy something. Or not. And possibly a book store-- to just look around..

The Oil Truck arrived and filled the tank in the early part of the afternoon....oil was way less expensive than it was on the previous delivery. I turned the thermostats up to their normal setting...and the house was nice and warm....in about an hour. The Account is now in my name.....I guess I passed the "credit check".   

This "credit check" bothered me- as a widow.  My signature is on all the checks written to pay the household bills and it's been on the checks for over 30 years here in Maine...but suddenly with husband's death- I had to have MY CREDIT verified in order to get Oil Delivered.  What if I hadn't had a generous balance in my Own Checking Account?????? Would oil have been delivered yesterday- would the house be warm this morning?????  The Joint Account means nothing after your husband dies....because my name is the only one on it.........

I think my Bankers thought I was okay and didn't talk to me about this.....I have my own account and checking etc. And I was okay. But the questioning of my resources was a surprise.  A direct hit.

But all is well that ends well.

We might eat lunch at a fast food place....get French Fries.  I'm pretty excited.

I've noticed that no one is commenting any more....is it because I have gotten boring and you stopped reading the Daily Notes?  Or is it because NO ONE is actually reading the notes anymore....sigh. I know the blog posts aren't very interesting...but right now...I'm not doing much more that eating reading and sleeping.  I took a shower today and am still recuperating from it.  I even have on fresh clothing and my red sweater.....I think I combed my hair.  I might have forgotten to moisturize my face.
