Tuesday, October 20th. A nice chill on my neck so I upped the thermostat. Sunshine in Maine. 58 degrees

Blue Hill restaurant photo.  Like eating on my porch. Absent the orange window trim.

So...what's going on here in Maine....still focused on the election and voting.  Still some name calling..also interest in why Trump is feeling up all male guests to the White House....he used to feel up the women guests....now men?????   I enjoyed tv more when Trump was accidentally pooping his pants. How did they get him to stop?????? Question of the Day.

I experimented with the dining room tv...it was the one my husband used to watch strange shows about people shoving each other off inflated objects in a pool.  Sort of like Wipe Out but NOT.  And the tv works.. So I could possibly sit there while eating breakfast and watch tv.  Instead of reading the newspaper.

Newspaper seems like the better choice for my remaining brain cells.  Son says  "Do Not Watch That TV"

It's getting cold...or my old age is making me think I am getting cold.... I might start wearing a scarf in the house- something tasteful and nice.  I might actually own something like that...unless the children gave all of that to Goodwill.  In the "First Clearing of Household Things".  I had them cancel any further clearing......and started taking things out of the box.

I now get to say yes or no to things going in the Goodwill Box.  I do take items out of the box... when no one is around.. Both of my children are really quite intelligent....they know.

So...nothing is new here...  I have books to read and a nice down lap cover to keep me warm.  One more serving of homemade soup and two supermarket meat loaf dinners.  Left over Sunday Pizza.  Son has left to go out for lunch.  I am having a Meat Loaf dinner mid afternoon. Looking forward to it. 3pm?

Well..that's all for now...I have a great book to finish reading and my comfy couch to sit on...if I find some British Soccer I will watch that but so far I have had better luck watching Storage Wars. Hallmark had a movie I thought I could watch...didn't make it to the first commercial break..... I have set 10 to 15 Christmas Movies to record (an exaggeration but not by much).  I can stockpile them until December. When daughter brings my table top tree down stairs..... and plugs it in by the front room windows. And Christmas Begins.  Last year she also brought cookies. Very good cookies.

But first we have Thanksgiving...we are hoping for better results this year.  Our Pumpkin Pie was a disappointment last year (the crust was good).  I also have two sweet potatoes to roast in the oven this week with the Pizza.. I have them for lunch with melted cheese tucked inside. . very nice.

So.......Couch, Book and Storage Wars on deck for another very pleasant "politics free" afternoon. 

 

It only took four tries to get here today....Monday, October 19th...A Chilly but Sunny day in Maine.

 Sun coming up.......somewhere in Maine.

I sorted thru the channels and found nothing of interest to watch...so then I sorted thru my bookcase but wasn't in the mood for reading.   So FOOTBALL.  Some very very interesting games....

Sunday Pizza was most excellent as well.  

I might need to start wearing a scarf around my neck- so I stay warm...the tendons in my neck are stiff and the neck bones make cracking sounds....getting old.

Yesterday I was hunting in the bookcase for something to read and forgot I had library books on the shelf. Son might be correct...my Attention Span. is not what it used to be. Books on the shelf on actually GOOD ONES.  Books being held at the Library for pick up are also very good ones.  I can tuck the baseball one back in the bookcase.

That's all for now....I discovered I do not have a tub filled with the nice batting I like... .... Son went up and found batting...not my usual but........it's how quilting began...use what you have. And be glad you have something.

Daily Notes for Sunday October 18th. Happy Birthday Bill.

 I cut out a recipe for Crock Pot Chili.  After reading the comments I decided I wasn't ever going to try making it.  Lots of cans.  Two kinds of beans etc.  Several comments as to why they used a crock pot..... the New York Times recipes are always wildly commented on...no one agrees on any thing.

I then watched the Saturday Cooking Shows....not going to make any of that either.  I had peanut butter on white bread instead.

I sorted thru the Christmas Movie LineUp on Hallmark....I keep looking for the ONE Hallmark Christmas Movie I adore...I cannot find it.  I ended up watching a few hours of Storage Wars. And then Swiffered Up all the white old lady hair that covers all the floors these days.... It's falling out....but it's curling.

I sorted thru books to find a really GOOD one to read....And just now realized the one I chose is a hot mess...so it's goes back and another replaces it.  Tomorrow is Library Day...I have quite a few holds...

I selected Fix Her Up by Tessa Bailey....  she usually writes three books in a set.

Well, Football is on today and after that Football Pizza....  A full day of entertainment.  ZERO Chili.

Daily Notes-- October 17th..Sunshine here in Maine but only 49 degrees.

 Rangely Maine.  I don't think I've ever been there.  

Telling people you ARE a Lawyer even if you were NOT able to pass the bar??????  These are Trump's People...... Perhaps she could now TRY to become a Bitcoin Saleswoman????  Or sell Pillows for the Pillow Guy?????

Today's most important job (for ME) is choosing a book to read.. off the library book shelf or out of the big German cupboard. (which is packed FULL of books.). My very own Retirement Account.  There are books waiting at the Library but..they have to wait till Monday...

I received a post card in the mail telling me I am above average in my stellar Voting Record. I wish they had sent a pin I could wear on my coat....

And another piece of mail cancelled my Medicare Provider Account. Son is hoping he can find me another provider. 

Another piece of mail was almost hilarious....my one share of stock (from my dad) is suddenly many many more shares...  They even send me a LARGE dividend check...... some one somewhere has gone insane.  It would cover the Medicare Payments... for a year or two.

Other news is that even though the Library knew the present Director was leaving in October of this year.. a YEAR AGO...... they are scheduling interviews this month for a new Director..  And this month is half over.  I think whomever they chose decided it was "not a great job for them"......and declined recently. And finding new choices is not going well.  Are we surprised???? No.

Or perhaps they are following Trump Hiring Rules????  Hired someone who was not qualified as a Librarian?   Well..I have little else to report.  Homemade Vegetable Soup will be served for Lunch... There's plenty if you happen to be walking past the house.......and not trying to scam me with house repair deals??????  Son swept the acorns  off the driveway....so walking is safe right now.
