Daily Notes for Wednesday July 22nd. Clouds, sun and wet sidewalks.

I've never actually worked this way when I paint...though I have always wanted to.... using a knife  to scrape paint over the surface of the canvas.  I have plenty of paint.  I was looking at the work of Bette Ridgeway this morning...I have a framed art quilt (mine) on the wall in my bedroom and taped to it is a magazine photo of one of Bette's art works.  

My eyes go back and forth in the morning while I am waking up..... Bette to Joanne and back.

I am hopeful that at some point something will happen.  I will collect my paint and a pallet knife and stretch a canvas.....hopefully before I am tucked away in Senior Living.  Time is running out.  

Google has just invited me to stir fry my lettuce.

I am up late and haven't eaten breakfast as yet....so I need to do that...low blood sugar isn't my friend. 

Tomorrow I might actually have something interesting to write here.  Could happen.

 

Daily Notes almost a Day LATE!!!!! Tuesday July 21st.

 I don't know how that happened but I think I heard the microwave beep that my breakfast oatmeal was ready to eat... and I never came back.  Sudoko and Jumble took up my time also.

Been watching the Charge Station and NYC something....I've seen them all so many times...I was going to read but that also got waylaid.

I did shred the chicken (already cooked) that I got Grocery shopping and added honey and mayo... it looks like a mess but it tasted fine.  I had a banana, some dark chocolate chips, and bread with peanut butter for mid day food.... I was considering a slice of cold pizza and have a vague memory of actually eating a slice much later in the afternoon..

No reading today...I did select a book.....Romantic Hero by Greenwood. I don't think I will read it. But the hints on the cover are what got me to order it....writer has a  fictional cowboy in her books and suddenly he appears in her living room.  Sounds like fun, Huh??????

It's been a calm day here...I thought we might get some rain but just clouds... grass would have appreciated some rain,  Me too.  Cross the road neighbors have a screen on a front window hanging loose.

Well, hopefully something interesting will happen before I post tomorrow.....

Daily Notes for Monday Monday.......Sunshine here..77 at 11am. I thought today was going to be Friday.

 Lantana.  Here at my house the Deer are using my Weedy Beds as a Salad Bar.  Venturing into the weeds to find the stray cultivated flowers and eating them... chewed off the Lily  buds on all 12 lilies.  One was missed and I should have added a protective cover- before I could- they came back and ate that one also. Was the first time the lilies had set flower buds since they were planted...

Deer NEVER touch the weeds.  If I had lantana they would have eaten it weeks ago.

I am desperate enough to want to contact my cable company for a new choice of stations to watch.  The Bourdain program was on the Cooking channel and I do NOT pay for that channel.  I need an UPGRADE. Son connected himself to Apple TV (upstairs)... so he can watch the car races.  He streams... I cannot stream.. EVER. His said my "equipment" was  "unable to stream"... 

Grass was cut this morning....  Monday..Monday...

Messi wanted one more World Cup but it wasn't to be.   Spain did a great job....deserved the trophy. 

Now I have to find something else sporty to watch all day long........because I have to take breaks in the reading. Yesterday's book was an old favorite... No Judgements..  Meg Cabot.  I have her second book also. No Offense....... there are sections I will skip..... she never wrote a third book with these same characters.  Would have read it if she had

My neck muscles (and bones) are making snap crackle and pop noises.....  Summer is not the time for the heating pad....so more Tylenol.   And the couch.

Daily Notes- Sunday July 19th. We have Sunshine here in Maine. 73 degrees on the front porch. Shade.

 You get a repeat image as I haven't been doing ART..... this is the back side of an index card-  I have the line drawing of a newer one here but haven't colored it in..........yet........ever.......looking right at it.  I saw some art on the wall during a CSI episode and drew it on an index card....I'm really odd aren't I???? Well, it looked like some famous art I studied in college...today I'll color it.

Quite a bit of Sun so I will anticipate the AC unit being turned on eventually today.  I discovered I will NOT be seeing that Anthony Cooking Show any time soon as I do NOT have the Cooking Channel in my line up... It's listed but I don't have it in my "package".    Sigh.  I have considered calling and speaking to a "person" and asking for the expanded package......haven't done it... not a clue as to the phone number.

I've been catching up on very early- CSI episodes.  I missed the first season...and then continued to miss it when they had reruns.  I'm missing episodes all the time...as I continue to be fascinated by Storage Wars. What people put in them and then forget.....  I'm also trying to think if I ever went into one of the shops that sells storage locker finds??????  I did have a passion for  Goodwill Hunting.  Then realized it was more of a mental illness.  And STOPPED.  Daughter has taken me in a few times- but only to look at the books....to fill out my bookcase.  I never leave the shop without one 2 dollar book under my arm. One less book to borrow from the Library.

I plan on reading today...and since it's Sunday, we'll be having Pizza at 4 pm.. There is a Soccer Final at some point in the day. (possibly 4 pm)...I wrote the time down on a scrap of paper but now have no clue as to where the scrap of paper is......I dither around with having a salad with my pizza as not sure of the cleanliness of the salad greens.  Well, I have index cards to color... and The World Cup Soccer to watch.

Spain and Argentina- FOX 3 pm.   If I had to wager-  Spain.
