Daily Notes for Wednesday September 16th. Sun drifting in and out here in Maine.

 I don't have much in the way of images for the blog right now. I should drag any image I use to the wastebasket here at the lower right on the desktop screen. immediately  Start a new habit.

There is nothing much going on here.... I continue to watch Hudson and Rex.  I have many recorded episodes.  Hudson is a tall thin dark haired man in season one and drives a blue car......the other guy must replace him after this season ends????  I like the other guy better... his car is the same color as my Honda. and he has blue eyes and curly hair.  Nearly everyone on the show has blue eyes.

I keep hoping to find something else to watch in the weeks and months ahead.....I also am 2/3rds into Heartwishes by Devereaux.  And I have more books on the pile to read...  TEN to be more specific.   The weekends are very long and tedious.. So I like having books on hand.  Unless, after my  birthday...I take up napping.  (Deb..I really really cannot stream!!)

The closer I get to my milestone birthday.. (I am hoping I get cake and ice cream) the more exhausted I am....the less interested I am in the news...I have always paid attention to the news.  Now I don't.  I just noticed I haven't been crossing off the days on my desk calendar...  I stopped on the 10th.  I have decorated the day of my birthday here on the desk calendar like a  Parade Float.  I'll snap a photo for you on Friday.

That's all I have to say.... everyday seems just like all the previous days (except for the DMV yesterday).  All the library books are starting to seem like all the other library books.  The Sun always shines....it never rains.  The grass has started to green up ( the tiniest amount)  just when I was getting used to it being light BROWN.

I'm even starting to think my very heavily weed filled garden beds are normal.  Earlier this summer, looking at all the weeds made me cry. Literally made me cry.  Now?  I don't even bother to look out the windows. Something tall and blue is flowering... I haven't asked anyone to see if the grape vines made grapes this year. I don't dare try walking out and down to the fenced garden...myself.

As I close in on my birthday I have gotten unsteady on my feet.

Daily Notes for Tuesday September 15th. Sunshine and neighbors getting a "Heat Pump"

 Chicago's Jordan Marsh Blue Berry Muffins.

I've eaten them and they are worthy of every good thing written about them.

Woke up with one itchy eye.  Drops have been applied.

I recall reading Nancy Thayer books and will be doing some research. \

My Mouse Battery's are low and need to be recharged.  And is now doing just that.

If there are errors..excuse them...please. I can't move around as I usually do, and my itchy eye is BOTHERING me.

Garbage and Recycling Day....

So that's it... the weather has changed and I need to find and drag out my down comforter... and fold up and put away my cotton summer quilt.  And on that note I will hit publish and move to the couch and a book I have, I think, read before...even if it has echos of another book I recall reading. memories are doubling down.

Daily Notes for Monday September 14th. Lots of sunshine here in Maine... the back lawn is a bit greenerer.

 Helenium- Mardi-gras...... I hesitate to buy more flowers because my beds are full of WEEDS. 

I had a bad day yesterday and last night...today it's the Library and for once I have a LIST.  I'm tired.  My eyes are dry...I will add drops to each eye and sit quietly on the couch.  Until we go to the Library.  After Son goes out for lunch.  Top down on his car.

That's it for today....watched a bit of Football yesterday...not much and I lost interest pretty fast. I was fascinated by a German football game earlier in the day and loved hearing the accented English...took me back to very happy times.

I don't have a project for the Death Cleaning this week.  Most of the OLD wine bottles have been opened and emptied. The cupboard on  on the right of the fireplace is almost empty... the cupboard on the left of the fireplace was made for dry wood storage.  when we did the walk thru the Realtor asked if I was going to need fire wood and I said no and she gathered it all up and carried it to her car.   Son thinks this is where the fat black flies come into the house.

That's it...gonna be a very quiet day....

Daily Notes for Sunday September 13th. Raining here in Maine...can you believe it???????

 I've had my oatmeal.....but would like TOAST... there is enough bread... this looks like French toast... I have no eggs.

I have on 25 cent corduroy pants...defective ones from LLBean Employee shop.   A long sleeved tee shirt and a very nice (ironed) pale yellow linen blouse completes the outfit....I'm still cold.  

I center parted my hair for the first time..and I double that I will do this again....I recall the center part and the very long hair tied back while pregnant with Son.   I didn't have extra money for a haircut.  Husband was having trouble staying employed.. he hadn't applied to McDonald's as yet.......match made in Heaven as they say.

I think those early years of husband coming home to say he'd lost yet another job...are deep set...Why I wear my 25 cent corduroy pants and mend them as they wear out......new ones at Bean are about 80 dollars. I'm not going to live long enough to make 80 dollars worthwhile.  And all I do is sit on the couch. Well, I do get up to fill the bird baths and starch and iron shirts.  Yes...I iron.

We make Sunday Pizza and that's about it until I start making Vegetable Bean Soup for Winter Food.  In between Summer and Soup I make steamed rice and green peas with lots of butter and sweet soy sauce and bake sweet potatoes with the Pizza  on Sunday.  I like the sweet potatoes with melted Swiss cheese and butter.

Son uncorked and emptied the very very old dust covered wine bottles (improperly stored by me)......helping me with my  death cleaning project.   I have another shelf full of bottles I laid on their sides.  Hopefully the corks will hydrate. I doubt the wine is any good but it will be easier to remove the corks?????.

Well, I have the remainder of my current book to read and there are two and possibly three more in that  Brides series.  Then I will move on to something else.  Tomorrow is Library Day. So if there are more Brides...I hope my Library has them and that the shelf they are on is not too close to the floor..  I'll make a list today of what I own....so as not to duplicate.

And I think I will make myself some TOAST........why not?
