Daily Notes for Friday, April 10th. My Mother's Birthdate...why I remember that is beyond me.

From the images side of the desktop.....I need to stock up on new images.

Today is grocery day.  We haven't made a LIST.

Not much to say here....not much going on...I could describe the plots of two CSI episodes from yesterday??????  The living room thermostat needed fresh batteries.  My bedroom clock in the shape of an Apple Computer needed batteries a while back... I Swiffered my bedroom floor yesterday- especially under the bed.. PLENTY of dust bunnies.

My hair is undergoing a transformation- I look like a 1980's woman (again).  It happened overnight.

There are two books I want-  True Love and As You Wish... I am reading thru the "Library Discarded Books Collection" in my cupboard.  And I am missing these two.   If my energy levels are up enough...unlikely...I will walk to the Library and see if they have these two on the shelves......I have a feeling they got discarded years ago with the others........on days I wasn't there to save them...... 

I'll check the catalog.   Well, I need breakfast and the newspaper.  Some coffee.  I did remember to put my socks on.
 

Daily Notes for Thursday, April 9th...sunshine here in Maine and 44 degrees.

 Not seeing any birds here in Maine....yet.  The shrubs have their overwintered leaves but the trees are all bare. None of Maine's leaves have COLOR other than tan or brown...yet.  The grass is brown or tan on ALL the lawns (not just mine).... I haven't decided...yet...to start walking...but I know it would be a GOOD thing to do.  Wearing a heavy coat while walking would be a very BAD idea.  So warmer weather.

Tomorrow is Grocery Shopping Day....I might try and walk to the Library to return books. It depends on my Energy Levels.  I do not think I will enter the Library.  But things might change.  I have two books I want to read.....and they are NOT in my bookcase.... Deveraux's True Love and As You Wish.

I cooked yesterday...boiled water.  I find this amusing........ I made boxed Kraft Mac and Cheese....added frozen peas.  I remembered how to do it.  Laughing.  Today is Grilled Cheese with Pickles.  Might as well keep going.... It felt good and after eating I washed the dishes.... "normal" activities.

Well, It's getting late and I need to eat breakfast.......read the paper...suffer thru the Suduko puzzle. After that- the couch and the book I am reading..... and channel 1177 for more dead bodies..

I am BACK to reading a book a day.   Which I have been TOLD is best for Brain Health (screens are bad).   Along with a daily walk. SOON. And LARGE AMOUNTS of WATER (drinking water)......the remaining Attic BOXES will still be there in November.......when daughter's Gardening Season Ends.

Breakfast......the Paper....the Suduko....the book I am reading..... and then LUNCH!!!!!!  A FULL DAY.

Daily Notes for Wednesday April 8th. Sunshine and Visible Grass here in Maine.

 Advertisement offering me these lovely flowers.  Deer Food here in Maine.

I haven't seen any of the deer outback as yet....last year the street behind me was being paved and the deer might have gone swimming over to the islands early.   In the early days of living here my backyard was full of black crows and a multitude of deer.  I live very very close to the ocean and the small islands where people spend the summer months.

Too much traffic now.  For deer.   The back acres are in desperate need of a major cleanup.  The fenced garden- left unused for quite a few years now- is a terrible MESS.  My late husband used to spend days back there slowly weeding...there was no hurry back then.......

I am happy to see the Sunshine again....Snow was an unwelcome guest yesterday.

Re-reading a favorite book yesterday.  Anyone But You.   Today I am looking forward to Met Her Match. In case the TV series I am watching gets dull and boring.  1177  on the TV dial always has something interesting and often icky ways for people to die..   I set a few educational PBS offerings to record.  And I have MANY Law and Order episodes waiting.  I watch and miss my dog.

Well, I need breakfast and an update on the NEWS.  Whatever happened while I was not watching. Interesting that MORE people got tax refunds....I did not.   I lost my visitor counter for the blog so have no idea if anyone is even reading these posts....perhaps I should just stop??????

Daily Notes for Tuesday, April 7th. A Still, Cloudy Day here in Maine.

 I've lost track of the carved wooden cats and dogs. Which ones have been here and which ones not.

The morning paper had images of the dark side of the Moon.  I wasn't watching the right channel when the images arrived on TV.  But the newspaper had a large photo.  Past visits were in 1969 and 1971..So I was correct in thinking I had been in the hospital with the delivery of one or the other of my babies watching them drop down to the surface of the Moon.  They aren't leaving the capsule this time.

The days all seem the same right now--is that how it is as we get really OLD?....

I have gathered my longish hair into a small knot at the base of my head and neck and secured it with a few pins.  It's escaping.  As it always has done. I skipped a morning shower again as I was a bit shaky this morning....not a good time to take a fall. Naked.  After breakfast is a better choice or mid afternoon.

CSI has been both disgusting and entertaining.  And I recall the episodes as I have watched them many times over the decades.....Riley and I.  Good times.  Same with Law and Order.  Old Friends.

Cross the street neighbors are back from a long vacation.  Lights on in the house last night.  Theirs is the only house I can actually SEE on this long dead end street.  All the others are too far away or blocked by lots of tall dark trees. Or.... on the bedroom side of the house with the blinds closed.

If Son asks if I am feeling ABLE to do the walk to the end of the street and back as yet...my reply would be No.  I have to work up to it again and not go far in the beginning in case I need to sit down.  And there are no places to sit down on my street.  I've considered carrying a folding chair....no..stop laughing.

Chair would have to have wheels- continue to stop laughing.
