Daily Notes for Thursday April 2nd. Almost noon and I haven't eaten breakfast. Liftoff to the Moon!!!

I give up....I'll start typing from the midline.  This computer has often decided to do this for reasons only IT knows. Cloudy this morning and still needing the furnace running.

Well, there we go..it fixed itself.   Kristi Doom....well well.  And the Big Guy sitting in on the Supreme Court.   MSNBC showed a close up of Trumps ankles- swollen WAY over the top edges of his shoes. Tick Tock...time is running out...for his kidneys.  My own ankles do this every so often.

I had one of the baked sweet potatoes yesterday with butter and some Parmesan cheese... tasty.  Tried a few books..nothing was interesting....just not a Reading Week. Perhaps next week.  I did collect a few black and white prints to make a new square....missing "something" to make the other cloth sparkle. Will keep looking.  Channel 1177 has been entertaining.  Today I'll give Missing Without a Trace a chance.....- where they look for people who just disappear.   Hallmark- is a disaster....15 minutes of one movie and I went back to dead bodies on CSI.

No Soccer on USA which is SAD.  I do have Soccer on one of the four digit channels.  But players are like tiny tiny and not all that great to watch..  Furnace is going.... at some point I'll be asked to sign my Income Tax Paperwork.  

Okay...I haven't had breakfast as yet or read the paper or tried the Suduko....So much to do... I have to also put on socks...I turned the heat up as it was feeling cold in here....I feel cold most of the time these days. Spring...?????

 

Daily Notes for Wednesday April First... Oh what Fools we are.........

Let's name him or her... SPOT.

I ruminated on my Life before getting out of bed this morning....mistakes I made.  Ways I could have improved my Life...changes I could have made.  Too late now...and actually now...I am feeling good about my Life.   Wish I had friends.  People to do things with...but almost everyone I knew is my age and moving on to the Retirement they dreamed of.  Elsewhere.

Mainers look forward to Elsewhere.

I relocated the channel with the good shows. 1177.  I'l be watching stuff there.  Until British Soccer resumes.  

Daughter took my overdue books back to the Library and checked out a bag full of my favorites.  I have checked them out MANY times this Winter...... read and repeat.  Sigh.  Most have some sort of complicated love story in the plot.   Often making me cry.

I am finding myself being tugged reluctantly to the Art Supply cabinet.  Wanting to paint or draw or something.... more than likely watercolor.  I have a small collage I found in the Art Cupboard here my the desktop...an index card....I have it where I can look at it when I am on the couch feeling sad.

As to Streaming....The Computer Engineer said there was ZERO possibility of streaming of any sort here. Now or Ever.  The TiVo is a no go...The TV is a non starter.  So ALL of you telling me I could.....I can't.

I can't.

 

Daily Notes- Tuesday, March 31sr. Dismal, Damp Tuesday here in Maine.

Things are going on...but I managed to ignore the BOTS and get to my blog.

Not much to report.  Daughter brought down some artificial flowers- colors I asked for and I washed a  German crystal vase and have what I consider a lovely arrangement.   Daughter thought it needed "more". she took the remaining flowers back upstairs to the "Sewing Room". The only finished space upstairs.

She also took my books back to the Library and got me some old favorites...I think she knows me better than I thought....comfort books.  Always do the trick on these cloudy, damp overcast days...... at some point in Time it will be "safe" for me to walk to the end of the street and back......until then the Twin's Mom brings the old dog over to visit with me and daughter......giving the puppy time for a long nap.

Artist continues to be Manuel Jiminez.  On Facebook?  I really like this one.

Watched some vintage Law and Order yesterday......ones I didn't recall...watching...years ago.

We unplugged the porch/sunroom fridge...Lowes neglected to pick it up years ago.  Any water is draining into a restaurant sized metal pan.  I mentioned calling Loews and getting them to come pick it up....

The freezer was full of Black Walnuts....great for dyeing cloth to a sublime earthy black.  Which I did do several times.... disposal of leftover water is the problem...and the use of a pot you never intend to use again for people......  Pour the water out and kill any plants nearby. If I recall the warnings correctly.  They can't be put in the regular garbage.... hazardous waste??????

They are in sturdy freezer bags on the porch...I am doing research after I press publish.

I continue to watch the bombing........I saw that a multi billion dollar plane of OURS was bombed as it sat on the ground..... just waiting for a bomb to hit it.... why are Republicans so STUPID????

I went to the recycling site and black walnuts are okay to dispose of in the weekly garbage bags.... Heave Ho.......next Tuesday.

 

Daily Notes on a half sunny Monday in Maine. March 30th. April begins on Wednesday.

 Trump's Ballroom.

Twice as large as the White House- over to the left.  When are WE going to STOP HIM???? 

My desktop calendar is FULL...no room for today and tomorrow... well, three inches by 1.5 over to my lower left...another 2 inch by 1 inch space above Us Stock Market Remains Calm (it tanked).

When we last visited the moon neither of my children were newborns...I finally did the math.  I am miss-remembering things.  Looking forward to Artemis II next week.

Baked my two sweet potatoes after the pizza came out of the oven yesterday.  I will tuck butter and cheese into them....when I warm them up for lunch. Usually Swiss but do not have any so American...it might be good????  "Try New Things"

Reading:  Julie Murphy and Sierra Simone's "Fundamentals of Being a Good Girl".  Not what I expected but certainly what these two are "known" for.....I have ALL their other books.  I began reading them with Dumplin and If The Shoe Fits....and kept right on going...This one is hard cover and everything the others have ever been.  The first two were in the Young Adult section not regular fiction.  I am not positive but I think there was a book between Dumplin and If The Shoe Fits but my library never added it to the collection.

Repair Work on the Vintage Quilt has stalled out....reading has replaced mending.  I don't have enough fruit to get me to next Friday..... I have three oranges.   I can pretend the Sweet Potatoes are a "fruit"????

Yes, that will work.  The entire country is pretending everything is okay...
