JD Vance Blaming Trump for the LOSS

 So perfect you just can't make this stuff up.

Daily Notes for Wednesday November 4th. So Many Election Surprises.!!!!! An UpRising.

 We The People....have spoken..Enough was more than Enough for most of us.  Sort of like when Obama won and they all said it wasn't possible.  The People make it Possible when we get fed up.... we took the House of Representatives and the Senate. Back... 

I tried to stay up watching one Red Candidate after another losing. Governors, Senators, Representatives...a clean sweep.......waiting for totals from Maine...but gave up..this morning first thing before anything ...newspaper.... Our Resident Senate Trump Butt Kisser LOST...... Let's have a parade. Too bad the guy who won is no prize.....but a win is win.... and in his first 6 years he can't actually do much of anything.

I stayed up until Rachel of MSNBC said they needed to take a station break because people needed to pee.

Supposed to get up to 74 today in Maine with Sunshine.  And we have lots of Sunshine today.. keeping us warm as we wait for Heating Oil.

Daughter was here yesterday and did SO MUCH WORK on the landscaping...  Cutting back all the perennials.  Pulling weeds...  we both hoped the Lawn Guys would come do one more cut...it's not happening.  I do have a lawnmower in the shed if she wants to mow.  I do not know how to make it work. I did at one time....but that Time was so very long ago. 

Perhaps Son could get it going...??????

Daily Notes for Tuesday November 3rd, I wish I had French Onion Soup...

 November and my "landscaper" is out back doing things.  Cutting back the False Indigo and hauling it to the back property line.  For starters.   It's a real mess out there.  Grass needed one more cut. Didn't happen.

Son is doing the thermostats as I either do them at the wrong time or wrong temp...  which is why I wear thermal socks,  a nice warm wool sweater and a scarf.in the house....  we are being frugal with oil...for heating. We have no secondary heating source.  We got Trumped yet again.  We have Auto Delivery so when we get low enough...we hope the truck comes.  

A SURPRISE in the mail yesterday...a hardback copy of Fast Women.  Thank You.... Thank You....Thank You.  It fit so perfectly in my bookcase.  I'm trying to like Don't Look Down from the Library but it's not what I want to be reading this week.....so I'll select something else... I chose old favorites from decades ago on yesterday's Library visit.   And I few other's I'll name as I read them...  Next visit I am taking my Library Notebook with me- has lists and lists of books.  One's I've read.

I grabbed my shawl and have it wrapped around my neck.  Heating pad is on my couch if I feel the need.  I did late in the afternoon yesterday,  At 80 I get cold sooner and take longer to warm up.

Answering questions on my Peonies...daughter is using their Latin names...I once did that...Wo Peng is the kind that doesn't get cut back. He's out front.  

Connie we both have Landscaper Daughters!!!!!

Well, that's about all I have for you today...I'm going back to Don't Look Down... there are things about that group of people that I like.  I am going to check in on the TV listing for Storage Wars...see what I can record for later.  A grilled cheese sandwich for lunch for me with extra pickles or Hot Dogs....Daughter brought a container of Hungarian Soup for her lunch.   We all three of us are individual in our likes and dislikes.  Husband liked chicken noodle soup... We three do not. 

Daily Notes for Monday November 2nd. One More FULL TV Day of Political Ads.

 Batwing flower. Interesting.  Sort of a cat vibe also.

So furnace is running...it's comfortable in here right now now.....I have had my pills, oatmeal and Electrolyte water.  My hair is combed (extra points), I have proper (leaving the house) clothing on (triple extra points) and only need to add my socks to the ensemble.   Library to drop off books and pick up new ones.  Perhaps even find a fresh old magazine to enjoy on the free magazine rack,

I watched almost all the football in the afternoon yesterday.. witnessed some season ending injuries, Sunday Pizza was excellent as usual.....I had mine with a nice salad.  What we need here (I can imagine Son cringing) is DESSERT.  We don't have it because he loves dessert and refuses to give in to it.  So I have these tiny toddler cups of ice cream in the freezer.....for emergencies.  Not very often.

If it was a box of shortbread cookies????? Lifespan of the cookies would be very very short. Indeed.

I have been coloring my Autumn Pumpkin with multi colors of Sharpie.....When it''s complete I will share it with you....for sure by Thanksgiving.  Each color needs to dry before the next one. Consumes TIME.

The top right of the computer screen is tempting me with an offer to learn how to take a screenshot.  Really?   That Batwing flower is a screenshot if I ever saw one??????? correct me if I'm am wrong.

Well time to tempt gravity and pull on wool socks without face planting on the wood floor.  Always a scary situation.  I would really hate smashing yet another pair of eyeglass frames.

RE: political ads...we get one that mentions a candidate who had two children with his 2nd cousin. Here in Maine that's not a surprise. It's not even news.

Daily News for Sunday November 1st. Son said it was okay to turn up the heat... We are conserving heating oil,..

 A secondary photo.   I like the leaves on this one on top... useless but decorative.  And I have a tub of felt plus a hand full of felt scraps...never throw felt away.

So...as I wait for the temp in here to go above 60...... and settle into the couch for football.......and later Sunday Pizza plus a handmade green salad for me.........I wonder about the NYTimes Recipes I copied down for SOUP.  The most likely One to try is the Italian Pasta and Chickpea Stew.  I have cans of white beans and boxes of small pasta.  I also have a can of tomatoes.  The freezer still holds a few cheese rinds.  I like to toss them in.  I will skip the rosemary as I have never liked it and do not have it in the spice drawer.

Once upon a time the garden to my left...now TALL weeds crowding the whole house generator--- was supposed to be a Herb Garden with paths etc.  Daughter might want to rearrange a few things and pull a few wheelbarrows full of weeds...to get the Herb Garden back in shape. Maybe Six Perennial Herbs. I can buy the Annuals at the grocery store.  Or grow them in a medium pot on the back deck.

So...Son has found me a channel to watch FOOTBALL.   49ers and Broncos.  Right now just talking heads and an empty stadium...  we have TV on "mute".  We don't actually realize how large the football players are until they are handing out candy to the kids in the crowd (while eating a huge burger) in a very tight suit..

The room is warming up... the couch awaits....and my coffee needs a warm up. Sunday Football.
