Saturday, November 9th. Sunshine and 42 degrees here in Maine. Farewell to 60 degrees


 This is titled Wild Raspberry Leaves. (I don't get it)-- I had to stop typing and turn up the furnace temp.

I've eaten my oatmeal and read the paper and gotten four numbers in the Daily Sudoko puzzle in the newspaper.  We are moving toward ranked choice in one election spot.  There are times when I think the sides here are not that close but then we go to ranked choice and it seems like we are evenly divided.

I am reading an old favorite- Jennifer Crusie's Fast Women.  Perry Mason meets that HBO series of office men.  I can't recall the name. (Mad Men)  The women are getting ready to rescue the "Little Faking Dog". This book never lets me down. I gave up on the other book.  

I had by Chunky Potato Soup yesterday.  Salty.  I used to loved salty things...now, I don't.

Dentist next month- one of my molars feels funny.  I think when we get old our teeth get old and give up.

The spray my hairdresser sold me...is working.  I spray and comb and ZERO POOF. Hair stays nice: as flat as I want it.  I don't like looking like an old woman with a big white cotton ball on her head.  Sigh, because I lost patience with the long wild curly mess which needed only a rubber band. Now POOF.

Because I went to the library yesterday- TODAY they notified me that books I ordered have arrived.

In Maine Harris got 52% and Trump 45%.  So I am feeling better about the election in Maine. We did OUR part....others did not.

Okay, today..what am I doing today?  There are some Saturday Cooking Shows I like to watch (even though I no longer cook)... I have my book to read....I already made my bed......I could drag out the Central Vac......floors are dusty. Not enough in the laundry basket for a load of wash....I could always peel and chop and make a pot of Vegetable Soup with Beans.....I could also pan fry some frozen dumplings and eat those.  Son is taking his morning shower...so I can't run water and wash my breakfast bowl.  I think I will go find my red sweater and put it on.....a bit chilly in the house (temp is set at 64).  Why we have sweaters.

My library didn't have the Deaver book that the TV show series Tracker is based on..so I ordered it from another library.  I had also ordered- (when the show first aired)- the book another TV series was based on...(it's no longer on tv). I can't recall the lead character's name...but in the books he was  six foot four and could lift a car....the actor they hired was five foot seven (on a good day) and had trouble opening doors..and he wore the same brown suit in every single episode.  Karen Slaughter was the author. I felt at the time...she must have been embarrassed by the choice of actor for tv.

Son bought postage stamps yesterday......and then some group wanting me to send them money sent me address labels...so now my Bill Paying will be energized by fresh new colorful stamps and address labels.

Not that paying bills and writing checks is my FAVORITE THING.....it is NOT.
