Daily Notes for Sunday August 2nd... cloudy and 74 degrees.

Margaritas.

I haven't a clue as to what is happening with the internet or my email.  I sent one but the person it was sent to never got it.  I sent a new reply but not sure that will get there either.  We were sending emails to set up a lunch date.

Watched a bit of Hallmark yesterday and then got sleepy...so set it to record and will finish watching it today.  I squashed two more fat black flies yesterday.  Not sure how they are getting into the house.  But once they get in- they like the living room best of all....but did find one sitting in the kitchen sink a week or so ago...

Yes, she finally got my email we ARE having lunch tomorrow.

I sewed a few of the scrap fabrics I have on the ottoman next to me...I sewed the scraps into a square. And then went looking for some...it's been so long since I did this I have forgotten what the fluffy stuff between the top and bottom layers is called.  Any way after looking in EVERY STORAGE TUB I found a few yards of ....drum roll....batting.  Gosh being old is such FUN.  Not.  Next up is finding backing fabric.

I need to finish off the first bottle of the salty electrolyte solution I am drinking to try and correct my something.   Not sure what...cognitive????something.

Well, I have things to do....I didn't make a list but I'm sure I'll figure it out...I already made my bed.  Got dressed. Combed my hair.... Prepared and ate breakfast and read the newspaper and tried the Suduko.. That's quite a lot of "doing"..... and it's not even 12 noon.

Daily Notes for Saturday August First.--I skipped a day.......just noticed that a minute ago.

Iris.  Siberian.

Another flower my Grandmother had in her gardens.

When I was finished with College Instead of getting married I should have gone to live with her. My Grandmother.   There were plenty of places I could find work in her neighborhood. I would have perfected my Strudel making. I would have learned to sew my own clothing......tailor my own clothing.

Would have, Could have...Should have......  Living one's Life backwards...and then forward with a different outcome. Like a Hallmark Movie.

I'm closing in on the last of the race here....just have to go with it.  Fresh Calendar Desk Page...Always a great BOOST for me.  I have two bottles of Electrolyte Solution.  The one last week tasted awful but the next day I was more alert etc.  "Try New Things".  A lunch date with a former Greenhouse co-worker.. Always in August and Always my favorite Summer Day.

I watched some SPACE on tv yesterday.... saw the last of Maid in Manhattan,  Never stay for the entire movie.  Also some Vintage CSI and then for dessert.....last 30 minutes of a Hallmark Christmas Movie.

No book reading for the past few days....I even hand sewed some strips of fabric into a SQUARE.  Feels like Off Roading....Oh and the July resident FLY was seen floating over to the front windows so I put it out of its misery.  Not like past years and almost a dozen flies.... helps to have the chimney cleaned out.

Well, got nothing interesting to share with you.....and the salty bottled water needs drinking... I bought fabric dryer sheets for my Laundry.... just for a change... maybe I'll like them...maybe I won't. In my Family Circle they always side with Won't...... I have a Negative Personality????? I think Discriminating Personality.   British Soccer on USA Today....and cooking shows unless I forgot to record them....yep forgot...
