Daily Notes- On a Thursday Morning in July....Lawn is being Mowed.


 I found a site with Gee's Bend Stamps...  Enough to get me thru the last few days of July.  Just seeing the images...I hope helps me return to my squares and rectangles- each tilted in one way or another.

1. I woke up with itching spots... whatever is causing the red skin and intense itching has somehow gotten into the house or more likely is floating on the net coverings of the two planters--onto me.....I could also be picking up itchy hairs on the Daily Walk. ...blowing in the wind...  I find really HOT water seems to stop whatever is making my skin red and very very itchy.  For SURE not mosquitos....Brown Tail Moth is now my prime suspect.

2. Yesterday's Grocery Store Prepared Meal was good.  Meat Loaf.

3. I mentioned to my Son that nothing I have been doing regularly....makes me happy.  The book reading, The hand sewing on the squares, Bones episodes, one bright spot was PBS Antiques Roadshow.  But there are NO episodes to record.  And none to watch.  He said that has happened to him and I need to invent something...to fill my time and days.....he says he has had to do that over and over again...I imagine he was talking about moving here and living with me as his most current Life Change Invention.

4. The Lawn Guy just finished my lawn....I can go out and play golf on it.

5. I haven't gone out to uncover the two ornamental planters....YET.   Or eaten breakfast....Or read the newspaper (I really have to work up to reading the news).......also Oatmeal or Crispy Flake cereal today??? First Big Choice of the Day.  Other than getting dressed....I decided to wear yesterday's clothing again.

6. Book of the Day is Jenny Colgan's Little Beach Street Bakery.  Halfway point.  I've read it several times.  This might be the last time....I have outgrown it.

7. I do have the newest book by Annabel Monaghan. "It's A Love Story" and also my own copy of "When Grumpy Met Sunshine".. we stopped at Barnes and Noble to look at new books after getting the car registered for another year...I had hoped for a new Tessa Bailey...the second in the Getaway Girl Series..

8. Daughter dropped off a stack of Sherbet Colored Tee Shirts she bought for herself to wear to work...didn't like them....not my kind of tee shirt either.  Not vintage, stained or raggedy enough for me. I like my very very old things.... 

9. I made an attempt to order a few titles off the Inappropriate Men Book List.  Not many in ANY Maine Library Collection...some are now in transit.  Will see how Inappropriate the men really are. I'm hoping for VERY!!!! Those are always my favorites... Like the guy in Agnes and the Hitman.

Hi there - just be glad you haven't been diagnosed with breast cancer (at 73?!?!) and have to go through chemotheraphy etc etc... life could definitely be worse! Hang in there! :-)

OMG, makes my whining seem so self centered......I'm ashamed of myself.
