Daily Notes on Wednesday, December 3rd. Snow on the ground. 32 degrees. Sunshine.

 We might have had this image already but the picture file is close to empty.  It snowed.  I think Son is having trouble with the snowblower....and is now using a shovel.  I can't go out and help...as I usually did. Because I'm old and might slip and fall and break something.... Life can be really crappy sometimes. I suddenly want gumdrops.  Like all the ones in the picture.  And the M&M's.......

1.   Right now....crappy is a good word for how I feel about blogging.  About being public facing. About being "dumped" on by others who actually think something's going on when it couldn't be further from the truth.  Nothing is going on... I do NOT need a Psych Evaluation.

2.   Famous last words (about 2 hours ago)  as we had several purveyors of snow plowing stop by and plow after Son had done the snow blowing.  They even plowed NEXT DOOR by mistake- very unhappy neighbor. Son went over and apologized.... they used wrong address on their mailings... of contract I didn't sign or return.

3.   I pasted snow images on the desk calendar......over number one and close to number 2. I changed the calendar this morning ...a bit TARDY.  Day three is under the desk top computer stand...

4.  DebL is telling me all about Ted Lasso on Apple TV.  Raunchy Soccer something... Son mentioned all the various hoops and etc that need to come together for me to have Apple....I don't have Netflix anymore because I got tired of all the "mess" long before Son lived here........at that point in my Life I had little experience with tech... and it's frustrations...now it's a daily thing...and yes, I do yell up the stairs to say "we have a problem" but not as often as in the beginning....and I was really easy going about the computer change over....even though I expected it to be AWFUL.  I like the new Mac.  It likes me, I think.

5.  Well, I have stuff to do- It's Wednesday.....I know I am missing a Soccer Match....and my back up plan is Law and Order Oldies.  And my neck is cold so a scarf would be nice.  A friend sent a plan to make A HAT from an old sweater....think I have one??????  No old sweater but I do have a nice hat...well, more than one.... good enough.

Tuesday December 2nd. Snowing here in Maine. Everything covered in white.

 You get my little ball of thread ends....  It's right here on the desk...

1...I watched some old Law and Order yesterday....back to back... and then something else. Not something I usually watch...but right now I can't recall the name of the show.... perhaps a Law and Order spin off.

2....I had three meals yesterday...which is an improvement and I drank all my glasses of water.... to keep my brain hydrated.  I tend to go off track without the water.  I am still not interested in reading...it happens every so often.   I haven't read a book straight thru in days.  A full week????  My eyes are tired.

3....I am annoying.people.....which is okay as they are annoying me as well.

4....Patty is sending messages re: A Miter Saw.   Hoping there is one in my late husband's workshop. She sent pictures....so I or my son might go looking for such a thing....in the workshop.  For cutting firewood into smaller pieces.....for her woodstove. Which heats her house.

5....We will have to shovel snow today...  well, Son will....he doesn't want me to do ANY of that. I might fall and hit my head.  Be even weirder than I usually am.....

6.   I never did finish the large rectangular cloth  (well placemat size is large for me right now) and didn't even considered the pile of blue strips for a small square.  I took the large rectangular cloth apart.

7.   I will be having oatmeal, decaf coffee and the newspaper....putting my socks on... keeping myself to myself......and Connie I might give thought to making those cookies.......but we still have pumpkin pie. and best of all- Cool Whip.

Daily Notes for Monday December First. Sunshine, wet streets and 36 degrees in Maine.

 Cranberry Grilled Cheese and Turkey.   Not being served HERE.  But could be if I had bread....but I hardly ever actually have bread.....I have flour tortillas.  It could work.

1.    I collected the garbage a day early.... mea culpa.  I blame the Hallmark Christmas Movie I was  SORT  OF watching..... the last of the Season...... then back to Law and Order.   I just needed to get up and "do something" and not watch.....anything,

2.    Soccer was "less than" yesterday and followed by "dismal" Football.  What IS GOING ON????? Soccer and Football are my "Fall Back" positions for when I have absolutely Nothing to DO...I even broke protocol (my own) and watched the shopping network try and sell me the new and improved VitaMix. I don't use the one I already own..........I used to....but I used to do lots of things I no longer do.

3.   I always make my bed. Before I leave the bedroom to read the paper and eat breakfast and do the Suduko.  Always.

4.   We still have Thanksgiving Leftovers.... and we have Pie with Cool Whip.  Life is good.  

5.   I have plans to actually finish reading the book I have been reading for two days now....today I finish it.  I have no plans for additional reading.....I have been wanting to make a new square...blue this time. I have blue strips of fabric ready to go......all I need to do is thread a needle.

6.  Finally a good Hallmark Christmas Movie...I recorded it and will watch it again... I also have the Holiday set to record...I believe--I hope--- it's the movie I think it is.....snowy cottage etc. Jude and Cameron.   If not- I will delete it and watch Law and Order.

Daily Notes- What Happened At Our House.....Saturday November 29th. Leftovers

 People were posting pictures of their "leftover"  Thanksgiving sandwiches. 

We had a bit of a disaster here with our annual Pumpkin Pie....after the full baking time the filling was still SOUPY ....BUT I did enjoy a pile of Pie Crust and some of the thicker filling edges. (and Cool Whip).... I was the only one having that delight..... We might be able to build a sandwich (like the image)--if we had bread.........this is what happens....and actually typing this has me laughing.  Wondering if I have a box of Kraft Mac and Cheese in the pantry?????

Most of the Successful Menu items are Vegetables so I have lots of things to eat.  No worries.

It's very cold here in Maine....even with the sun shining.  In the 20's overnight.  I have on wool socks, corduroy long pants and a fleece pullover over a thermal long sleeved shirt.  I have a down TV watching cover for when I settle back on to the couch.  I'll be cozy.  

It's 33 degrees outdoors and 70 inside the house (with the sun shining on the temperature machine)..

Today's book is a "leftover" from yesterday......Meg Cabot's No Judgment.... I'm midway. She's about to decide to get on the small scooter and go check on the guy- no cell or landline service after the hurricane hit over night.. worried about him.

Soccer (British) is set to begin anytime now...two matches.  Back to back.  Manchester City and Leeds coming up in a few minutes after all the "chat" the Brits are having and I can't understand any of it.  The two talking guys are wearing extremely TIGHT fitting suits as usual..  Look incredibly uncomfortable.  I noticed the NFL Talking Heads also in one size too small suits the other day...and Brady wearing glasses.

I deleted the blogs "formerly" on Typepad....in my sidebar...I do get something every so often from Jude...as an email.  Grace might need help setting up something new....hope someone steps up.  If it was me- and the Computer Engineer was still in California-- I would want someone to help ME out in this situation.......sigh Winter is here already in Maine.....I need a second cuppa hot coffee.
