Monday Monday.......August 10th. Transitioning between clouds and Sun. 74 degrees


 I have a full drawer of these things....And those tiny brushes always get stuck between my teeth.  That curved thing to the far left- I haven't a clue as to what it is for.

I was checking out mail-order clothing as son says I need new clothes.  I doubt I need new clothing to sit around on the couch all day.  Which is how my days are spent.  I sew, I read, I watch tv and sometimes I draw and color.  My Time is occupied...  I need new clothing to wear to the grocery store, I guess.

Later today I will rotate some items from the right closet to the left and from the left closet to the Goodwill Box. The Right closet holds items from the Attic....newer 'old" stuff.  I noticed last year that the stuff in the never worn right closet FIT.  So I am less "bulky" than I once was.  Still have HIPS but not as much.

I found some more painted circles to use as bookmarks.....well, it was a postcard but now cut into long strips to be used as bookmarks.   

My "Master Plan" for the next few days is to drag the Central Vac Hose around the wood floors and sweep up dust and hair (mine) off the wood floors.  Take my mind off this morning's nightmare.  I died. Yep, in my dream, I died....Fire Dept called etc.........going to library. NOW...

Daily Notes of Sunday August 9th....Sunshine and 79 degrees.


 White linen clothing.   I've got plenty of the wide white linen shirts but NO extra wide shorts.

 I don't wear shorts.

I have been tempted to spray starch and iron a few short sleeved linen shirts.  I have a wrinkled one on right now.  I wear the nice ones on Grocery Library Day but not ironed.   Lifetime Supply.

Today is Sunday Pizza.  Will be great when Football Starts.  Time Fillers for Long and Boring Days. I can see why old people talk to themselves....  I already do.

It's taking me forever to finish reading the. Bad Luck Bridesmaid.   I might just give up and start a new one.... 

Yesterday I wasted time on that show where they bid on Storage Lockers. OMG.   I've sunk to that level... Law and Order would be huge upgrade....but I chose CSI: Vegas.- Seemed to pair well with storage lockers. Similar Ick Factor and color scheme.  Well, I have nothing to do and need to get started on that.

Daily Notes on an overcast and cloudy Saturday in Maine.


 If I had "planned ahead" in the back fenced garden....I'd have these tall planter boxes.  With the wide edge so I could sit and pull weeds.   But who guesses so far ahead re: cartilage in the knees disappearing??????

The Sun has come out from under the clouds....  House is still cool enough...  My Son is suffering upstairs. My Daughter is suffering where ever she is weeding along the ocean front.  I'm considering returning to a long sleeved linen shirt.  I have on short sleeves.....  Old People chill easily...winter is a real "treat".

I watched VINTAGE CSI last night.  Did not pick up a book......  

Yesterday I did an extensive cleaning of the disposal in the sink.  Very CSI. We don't use the disposal (septic tank)  and if I knew of a plumber I would  have it removed.... (and would also have my leaking shower head fixed). I had to clean the kitchen sink drain because some large glass stones fell in when I was changing the water in a container. I had to stick my hand in the slime mess to find the large glass beads....and NOT accidentally send them down into the pipe.   So DISGUSTING.   

But I did it and lived to tell you about it.   It's Saturday and there will be some British Soccer.  An Ice Pop out of the freezer... cooking shows... not much else. Ah...several glasses of water to hydrate the BRAIN CELLS of this old woman.  I have zero projects to work on...... but do have a book to finish reading...

Then I will indeed need to think of something to fascinate me.

Friday August 7th.... 80 degrees already and it's early. 81. Whoa.


 Pretty much what my shower etc looks like.  minus the black grout. And the leak.

Robo Call.. Charley (this time)....cough...cough... and I hung up. I wish I could press a button and have his phone blow up.   Lovely to consider.

Son has a PLAN for today... I have forgotten what the Plan is.    The Library is not part of the Plan. which is okay as I have unread books on the shelf- he says Library will be Monday.  

I set two large plastic tub lids in the uncovered space at the bottom of the window blinds to shade us from the SUN. AC window unit is running.  Large ceiling fan is spinning.

I think we are on our way.....no.....well, in any case.  I should consider my menu choices for the coming week where it pertains to my LUNCH.  Ah, the shower is running........I had chicken nuggets last week so should have something else this week?????   I also had grilled cheese and pickles.

Daughter suggested we buy Flavored Electrolyte this week for me.  Delightful.

Three husband-less women have owned and lived in this house since it was built.  Well, they had husbands (at some point tin Time)..just didn't live with them.   I'm number three.

That's it for today.....
