Daily Notes for Friday September 25th....Sunshine Yet Again Here in Maine.

Not a cyclone...just the accumulation of desk top calendars.. years worth. Lots and lots of years.  I've created my very own "black hole".... of words...and images.  A daily diary of sorts..

I was thrilled the day I found an empty box perfect for desk calendar storage.... Not too tall and not too wide.

So today I have a leaky, itchy eye....my own fault..It started yesterday and I rubbed it...never do that. and this morning it was stuck shut with crusty stuff...it's fine now. Well, as fine as it can be...

Okay...what's new?  Not much....it's getting colder each morning....the Sun is still very shiny...the grass is green in the back and yellow brown in the front.  Not one clue as to the WHY of it.  Though there is a septic tank back there and it could be providing moisture?????  Back in the olden days when this house was built on vacant land.....sandy vacant land.....they didn't add sewage to the amendments.  And the Town never has revisited that decision.

I continue to watch multiple channels of lame cable tv during each afternoon.  Evenings...I read.  But I haven't been reading.....instead I stare at the walls, ceiling and out the front and back windows... I close my eyes and think about the past.....how I would make different, better decisions if I had the chance of a "do over".  But only if I could remember what I did wrong this time around.  Going in blind I might make the same mistakes.

Well, today is grocery day....I still have a few things from last week that I never ate...  I did finish the store prepared meatloaf dinners...and will not be getting more of those in the weeks to come...I also haven't eaten the prepared Pot Stickers.  I actually thought I would have eaten those by now. I like them.....

So. that's me for today...  I'll change into to a better quality top before we go to the Grocery store.. these old stained men's work shirts are not up to grocery standards set by my Son.  Though the one I have on is hardly stained at all...and the stains are from the old dye works/painting I did here back in the day. I tend to wipe my hands on my clothing when doing messy work......who cares anyway...no one notices old women.

Daily Notes for Thursday September 24th. Sunshine here in Maine...again. 60 degrees

 Nothing like this happening here in Maine.   All the leaves are still green up here.

My car is now fixed...   and tomorrow is grocery day.  I still have things to eat in the fridge...from the last time we shopped.   I also scrubbed the glass top of my new (ish) stove- there must have been some grease on the bottom of my frying pan...it took awhile but the stove top glass is now very very clean.

I also have some ironing to do but not enough items for a washing machine load.  

I have been noticing how many people on the TV shows I watch have blue eyes. I know...that sounds weird but once you start noticing it gets more and more interesting..

The newspaper said this was the second hottest summer on record for Portland Maine...I find that hard to believe.  I would believe it was the DRYEST Summer.......we usually have a few really amazing rainstorms with lightning and thunder....but not this year at all.  And perhaps not in a while.

The grass in the back yard is very very green...and needs cutting.  Front lawn not so much.

The Birthday Cake is history but I still have ice cream.

Daily notes for Wednesday September 23rd. Sunshine here in Maine....

 Veggie Sandwiches.

My Little Copper Colored Honda Fit has gone to the Honda dealership to have a recall fix...re-fixed.  It was that or buy a new car.  This seemed less expensive...but my son is there with the car.... for all the hours it takes to do the repair.    We are having an interesting few months. But I doubt he would use the word "interesting".....

My birthday horoscope suggested "lowering my spending and optimizing my earning potential". (funny)

I scheduled a Boiler Cleaning appointment for next week.  Winter Heating Potential.

Both the pictured sandwiches look good to me....the one on the left looks like cheese and salad..I'd eat that.  Yesterday I had a grocery store Meat Loaf dinner... not sure what I will have today.  I also had the last wedge of my birthday cake with ice cream......it was good day.

Cooler weather and sunshine here in Maine....prepping for Winter...lots of acorns on the driveway.

I'm continuing to watch Hudson and Rex. Lots of repeats but the occasional new episode. At first I found the candy colored houses enchanting but now...not so much. I got used to them.  Not much happens but the scenery is interesting.... I might want to visit my northern neighbor some day. See if all the houses are actually candy colored.

Daily Notes for Tuesday September 22nd...Sunshine in Maine. 60 degrees.

 Polenta with an egg.  Polenta is cornmeal and water, right???  I have those two things. No egg. My grandmother made me Cream of Wheat and covered that with butter, sugar and cinnamon.  Making me want some.  

I'm not sure I agree with putting an egg on everything and anything these days. I hardly ever buy eggs.

I am being harassed on the phone with calls..."hello...can you hear me...etc".  I used to tell them to get a "real job" but that only makes them call more frequently.  I had jobs where I answered the phone but never one where I called and annoyed people.

Not one clue as to how to spend the day.. today...I could continue with sewing scraps of fabric together to make squares...but I need good television programs in order to make that work for me.  Law and Order???? Yesterday I watched Antiques Roadshow.   For awhile and then got bored.  The computer is writing the ends of my sentences for me.

Well, I have nothing of any interest to tell you...going to the Library later than usual is not a good idea... I drifted thru  the bookcases and found nothing....but did get very dizzy so we went home with two books in the bag...  I did return the ones I had in the bag from last week.  I also got a copy of a book I have in my bookcase...a larger sized paperback...easier to read.  The Hating Game...was new decades ago. Bickering office workers.    Take care...enjoy the day.
