Field Notes- Expanded-- Same day- June 29th

 The Grass has been mowed.........in like 20 minutes....We should have done this YEARS AGO.

Field Notes- Thursday, June 29th. It rained overnight or early this morning. Wet. Dark.

 I like the wall lamps.  I wanted them in matte black metal for the dining room.  They are not made in matt black.   This on line catalog shop has bedding for a "camp style" bedroom for grandchildren...that I will never have--I have the bedroom but will never have the grandchildren.and what would I do with them at my age????.  I love the old chair with a stack of books.

The Lawn Guy says he is coming today.  To cut the grass.  Which is wet. And I just don't care....sigh..I have gotten to that point where my fussy perfectionist self has just got to let go.......I did cover the Ornamental containers- Four- with netting and clothespins again last night.   Deer.  Eating my expensive plants.   Mosquitos.  Eating my bare ankles.

I finally read a book my daughter had gotten for me  Austenland.  A Jane Austin type "holiday" where you wear 18th century clothing and live in an old house.......with actors pretending to be characters......I wasn't going to like it....but by the end, I did.  It's a movie.  If you have "'things" on your cable service that allows you to view stuff (I do not)...you could go look for it.....could be fun to watch.  Was fun to read.

I rolled out of bed this morning and fell on the floor.  My back and neck feel a bit stiff.  My hip was the the first to hit the floor and it hit hard but doesn't hurt....yet.  I can't quite figure out how it happened...... I would think this is what most Seniors would say after falling......can't quite figure out how it happened.

Field Notes- Wednesday, June 28th. Cloudy, Damp, Wet, Dismal with Mosquitos.

 Not always Fun to be Royal.  Or to be an Orphan.

Well, the netting over the Ornamental Planters worked last night. Nothing was eaten to the ground. Things are very damp an mosquitos are very blood thirsty.....  I have all the house lamps on.

Reading a YA book written by author of an Adult book I enjoyed.  Firkins.  The Librarian in charge of this YA section- in another Town that isn't mine (Wells),  is selecting some very good books.  Hearts, Strings and other Breakable Things.  The lead in this book is 17.  Her mother has died and she's been in care for a few months but now her well to do aunt wants to be "charitable" and take her in for the 3 months prior to the girl going off to college... not Yale.  She was accepted but no one is stepping up to pay tuition.  The Aunt  (the girl's mother's sister) is living in the grandparent's home in a neighborhood the 17 year old has lived in before, upscale and wealthy.....childhood friends etc from summer spent with her grandparents..

In all this, I wonder where the father of this child is.......how he has gotten off without any obligations. And why didn't the well to do grandparents set aside money for college?  

I have quite a few questions as you can see.  Birds are behaving oddly outside the windows.  It's like they have all suffered brain injuries. Well......that's it for now.  It will be another quiet day here in Maine.

Field Notes- Tuesday, June 27th. Moist. Cloudy with a good Chance of Rain.

 This is how I feel.  Trying to get in front of the black clouds.......

Another sad moment.  The left side of the big planter out in front was "half eaten" overnight.  It looked lovely yesterday.  Now...not so much.  I have nothing to replace the half eaten dahlia.

We had pizza yesterday for Dinner.  My side had only onion and cheese and his side got pepperoni.  We each get four wedges.....I ate two with a big salad of romaine and mixed greens with Ranch Dressing. I used to eat pizza this way all the Time.  But started forgetting to buy salad greens.  I got large containers of salad yesterday.  Today I might have the greens with olive oil and Balsamic vinegar.

My Tomato Seed Starting friend, woke to find her Earth Boxes partially dumped out and the fertilizer package out of the box and partially "eaten".  We both are trying to think what happened.  This is NEW.

The bird in the back yard is still throwing his body at the sunroom window.  I now have it completely covered in paper- I read somewhere that that birds can have brain damage and this bird thinks there is another bird which he must attack...and it's his own reflection.  From what I read...they will do this until they.. die?

I just left for a few minutes to get more paper to tape to that window.  No one dies on my watch.

Field Notes- Monday, June 26th. Dismal, Damp Clouds....chance of Rain. No chance of Pie.

 Just back from a Doctor's visit.   New doctor. New office.  I also have a printout of my weight.  Not happy to see the number on that paper.  Without a regular exercise program...I don't see how it will change.  I actually don't eat that much but...enough to maintain the weight.  I guess.

We discussed tree work on the way to and house values on the way back.  

Now I wait a bit before we head out to the normal Monday Events.   Library and Grocery.  Husband is napping on the couch.  Library isn't open until 10am.  It's 9:46.

I am having a cup of coffee.  It's dark in the house...I turned on lamps.  Deer ate half the annuals in the back deck planter.  Even with the repellent.  Husband thinks the chipmunks ate the plant......no. 

Grass is growing.  Getting pretty tall and when daughter's guy cut it...mower was set too high.  I would cut the front...but mosquitos........with it being cloudy and damp...the mosquitos are voracious.

Even though I have recently been shocked by my actual weight.....I am still considering pie.

What's happening where you live?  Are your property values going up or down?  How do you feel about your weight.....?   How do you deal with mosquitos?   

I might need a nap.

Field Notes- Sunday, June 25th Rain is Expected- Clouds and a breeze now.

 This is my second attempt.  The first went a bit off..... reverting to something strange.

We are experiencing clouds and expecting rain.  Dampness.  The Morning Paper wasn't as interesting as it could have been.....some of the headlines were odd.   The rhetoric regarding the ill fated sub...NOW everyone KNEW it was a bad idea, poorly engineered etc etc.

This guy- this inventor had a crazy idea and he used second hand goods to build it and then charged huge amounts of money for passengers etc etc.....and now you are ALL noticing???? He even killed himself by going on this last dive.  And the Titanic.....why do people want to see it.  Why is my local Music Theater doing a Titanic Musical Production of it???????  And that awful MOVIE.

My opinion.

So...clouds in my coffee this morning.  Tomorrow the doctor's appointment.  When I get home- the regular Monday outing.   Library and Grocery Shopping.

My tomato plants look good.  Happy.  The Lawn guy sent an email.  I replied.  I never know if any of the emails I send go anywhere......we'll see.  But if he shows up...then he got my reply.  Every other week.

 

Field Notes- Saturday, June 24th. Clouds and a chill rolled in last evening....should rain today.

 Jane Newland.

I FINALLY got (ALMOST ALL) the annuals into the four outdoor pots.  And husband filled the Deer Scary things with Blood Meal-- my spelling book is missing- I offered it to husband....last I saw of it...  deterrent ?  rather than "scary"?

It got windy and chilly as the Sun was going down last evening.  I was expecting rain.  The morning paper says there will be thunderstorms...... for a few days.

The Neighbor's Lawn Guy is not returning my emails or phone calls....  in fact I got a notification from my "falling apart computer system" that his addresses aren't "real".  So they can't send my messages. I refer to my computer as "they".  So I called his phone......left a message.

I also receive messages from "them" regarding computer fraud and credit card fraud.......

I need to turn on the living room lamps.  It's dark in here.

I might have already written this-  I did two loads of wash and....walked away from the machine to do other things.....yes, I left it unwatched......it did just fine.....I wish I could say the same about me....but eventually I will be walking away every time.....and it will feel..okay.

My Lunch Buddy is taking me to my new doctor appointment on Monday @ 8:40 am.  She is driving.  She knows where it is....she was just there two days ago for her mandatory wellness check.  For our Medicare Program.  It's just a chat.....An Annual Chat, listen to heart, pulse yada yada. Check Mark. I need my Statin Refill.  Recent publications mention findings that a daily Statin keeps Dementia Away. And you tend to live longer........Husband's 80 to my 10 milligrams.  ?  Sigh.

Hopefully, we won't get the Social Worker.

Field Notes- Friday, June 23rd. The Little Roving Sub exploded.

 A little ceramic cactus.   I saw it somewhere and snatched it to the picture file.   Cactus in ceramics and on Index Cards.   My picture file was loaded....delete doesn't actually get rid of anything..... so I had to do additional things.......I might now be able to send you index cards images........new stuff. We'll see.

So.  I called in my Statin prescription from my many years doctor and no......so I had to call my new replacement doctor I haven't seen yet.......no.  I have to come in.  Be seen. Blood test.  So I explained my situation and all of a sudden we were discussing a social worker.........that was a very fast transition.  Now I have a Doctor's appointment and my Lunch Buddy is driving me on Monday at 8:40 am.  

Hopefully, NO social worker.  The woman down the street got one and was dead soon after and her drug dealing son inherited the house and bank accounts. And now we have HIM living on our street.

Husband lost his clothes.  He was looking for them everywhere- they were on the bathroom floor.  I pointed to them... he put them on.  Now doing his word search puzzles.  With three Arnica pellets under his tongue.  This is new.  The lost clothes portion.

I did two loads of washing machine- did one page of writing and then left.  Left the machine unattended. For the very first time in YEARS..........not sure i am fully invested in how this feels as yet..... but....okay I think....to walk away.

Left message (yesterday afternoon) for my cross the street neighbor's Lawn Service.  I know he is busy....we'll see when he replies.  Possibly not until end of the month.  He was on vacation so has to double up......He looked exhausted when I saw him across the street. Last week.

Field Notes- Thursday, June 22nd. Sunshine........

 Carrie Fell I think.  

I filled the outdoor decorative annual containers yesterday.  Husband wanted to make it a "thing" by dragging the full garbage can of sifted "soil" to each container..........geez.   I just filled up a small plastic pail as many times as needed and left the garbage can in the garage.  He will do ANYTHING to NOT have to walk... more than once in any direction.  I may add Annuals today.  Or not.  Depending on heat index.  Transplanting on a hot day...wilting.  Late afternoon is Mosquito Time.  So, not then......

Walking is actually beneficial to his back.  But will he listen (and remember) NO. Will he do his back exercises?  No. Will he slouch in every seat he sits in? YES.  His back is so curved now ... his head points in the direction he is walking.

I have not had a moment to start a load of dirty laundry.   Not one moment. (wink)

Tennis yesterday wasn't worth watching.  MSNBC left me...wanting to watch Tennis.

Daughter called to ask me to correct the lawn mowing saga..  SHE suggested he NOT mow the lawn for US.   He being one of her co-workers.  He works on the weekends cutting grass for the company she works for......I have nothing more to say about any of this..... You will not see any references to my lawn ever again...... count on it.  

It's beginning to heat up here in Maine.  No longer in wool socks and corduroy pants with thermal shirt under my work shirt.   Now...no socks, wrecked old LLBean ¾ knit pants, short sleeve white v-neck tee. The pants got wrecked in the fenced garden when they got hooked up on the wire fencing........ the v-neck tees are the ones with spots and stains that won't come out......the really clean white ones- not many- I wear for "dress up" until I start wearing the short sleeved linen Camp Shirts solo.  Box shaped.  With short sleeves that look like TABs coming off the top and sides.  Best shirts EVER.  New ones have darts..... and are crap.

Re reading Nora Goes Off Script.  Will be reading it several more times......already missing the Boyfriend Candidate.  I have a few others on the pile...... and two waiting. And a full bookcase of Favorite Books. so..Don't cry for me......it's just that I liked the Boyfriend Candidate so very very much....but Nora Goes Off Script is a very close second.......as is Second First Impressions (in bookcase),

Field Notes- Wednesday, June 21st- 8am. Still, cloudy overcast morning. Cold.

Okay.  Let's try this a second time.  Chilly, damp and overcast.  The usual for Morning here in Maine.

Image "between a Rock and a Hard Place".....aka My Life.

Yesterday.....well, the lawn mower guy changed his mind.  Doesn't want the job.  I tried my best to tell you all what it's like here in Maine- asking for help......all that.  So once and dumped.  It was "too much". We did get the AC units installed.  That's a win.

So......now I have to call the guy who DID want to cut grass and see if he will be kind enough to take us on as clients.  He might not.  And he also might not have Time anymore.

I have a load of clothes in the washer.  I have started wetting my pants....  

I was going to write about the books I am reading but ...it sounds tedious and dull even to me...I did get the Town Tax Tags for the cars.....I did get books at the Library.  I did get Chicken Parm Dinners even though the clerk said they hadn't gotten any in that day.  They had six on the shelf. I bought all six.

I may have already told you this......I think husband's second credit card was also hacked. 

Life is just so GREAT right now.  Asking for help was just so GREAT.... a real mood lifter.

Field Notes- Tuesday, June 20th Another- in a long line of Dark Wet Days.

 Yes, it's June and this is a Winter Image but......it's pleasant.  And it IS COLD and WET here in Maine.

Yesterday started the same but mellowed out mid day and ended quite chilly...again.  Today started- early for me and I will explain--- damp and dark.....  echoing my inner turmoil.

I finally got Demon Copperhead.  The first 20 to 30 pages were dark but beautifully written. Really Beautiful.  First person so I got to know Demon thru his own words before and after his birth on the floor....  but now the book has gotten darker  (he's still a child) and I know myself...I cannot continue.....reading.  And I am having flashbacks to my first 5 years in elementary school- in the very very Black Brick Charles Dickens Elementary School with tall black fencing all around.  I was reminded of walking around the corner and seeing the building (from five to 9 years of age) all black, tall and foreboding. I recall my fear and unhappiness.

Why Charles Dickens?  Kingsolver mentions his influence in the notes at the back of the book. David Copperfield.  Why black brick and black iron fencing?  Who knows.  The school was very old in 1951. I did a Google search and it is still standing.  Still Black.  Still has the pointy black fencing.  Still Creepy..

Anyway, I woke in tears.  Overnight the Demons of my OWN came calling. So, the book goes back.But I want to write- it is beautifully written.  Do give it a chance.  I did and I am broken hearted that I won't be able to read into the triple digit pages.  Therapy is fine but the stuff it dredges up....... I've cried enough.

My childhood was far from safe or happy.  I don't need to be reminded. Even if the reminders are beautifully written.

We repeat the journey of yesterday.  Library.  Town Office to pay Car Taxes.

Field Notes- Monday, June 19th. Cloudy and Damp outside. 63 degrees

 Many Moons Ago. I tried to do this...embroidery on a leaf.  It is time consuming and delicate.  Once the leaf drys- you really can't touch it-   And you have to choose a very sturdy pliable leaf.  Magnolia?

I have to say...the experience of doing this sort of thing stays with you.....And for that reason alone...it might be worth trying.  And matting and framing under glass....  causing Future Generations to gasp.

Father's Day.   Long call from California son to husband.  Visit from daughter-- she was tasked with cleaning up our iPhones.   Husband and I both had issues.  Mine was iCloud which I ALWAYS say no to--his was something else.  Also my picture file was loaded.  I wasn't using Trash correctly.  When she showed me what to do- I was thinking---oh, I used to do that all the Time and haven't done it in Years.

She didn't want to stay any longer than necessary.  We discussed our mutual visit to DMV. Soon.

I read the Boyfriend Candidate once more before having to return the book to the Library today. I think I read it five times (or more) in the weeks I had the book.  It's like my perfect book.  I am going to miss it.

I get to multi task today and pay the car tax on the two cars......There is a one hundred dollar a month fine  (each car) for not registering the cars and paying the tag tax.  Some "people" try and dodge paying the tax.........neighbors of mine.  Playing a game of chicken.  There is also an annual inspection sticker which carries a heavy fine as well.

I should be able, in the days ahead to catch you up on the cactus index card drawings......  Now that my picture file is very very empty.  

Daughter also set up something to get rid of the JUNK collected by the computer from a "Friend's email" we'll see if it works.  Certainly is a pain in the you know what.

Field Notes- Sunday, June 18th. Rained all of yesterday and very very wet and dark this morning.

 Jane Newland.

Everything here is green like this painting.  But the Peach Trees will be barren this year.  I saw very few little pink flowers......so any Cobblers I make will be made with Grocery store peaches.  The bees arrived too late.  The Plum tree was a riot of flowers but I saw no pollinator bees.... I was hoping for plums.

The house is dark.  And it's very early  7:26 am.   I am not an early riser.  But I could not sleep any longer as there were too many things going thru my mind.....so I just gave up on sleeping.

My desk calendar is a riot of newspaper headlines and black heavy ink.  Some spots of red.  Recording everything that happens here ...like a diary of sorts.

I finished the book I was reading and have one more chance to read the Boyfriend Candidate. I am also going to photocopy the cover in case I ever make it to the book store.  To order my very own copy.

Now that I am awake and my oatmeal has let me know it's ready to eat....I feel sleepy.  7:33 am.  Life as an old woman is certainly odd.

Field Notes- Saturday, June 17th. Dark and wet- raining.

 I love when a website gives me a great picture.   Of a well stocked bed.  Rug is very nice as well.

So.............the AC units were installed in like 5 minutes....I was off doing something else and daughter and the co-worker had one in and the second right after.   I turned them off a few hours later.  It was getting cool- but moist enough for flocks of mosquitos outside.  I think I was hauling the Annual Containers out where they belong...tired of waiting for assistance.  Daughter helped carry the heavier bits.

Now...when it stops raining and the mosquitoes get tired....it's wet outside so they are biting......I can haul out the container soil (a garbage can full (sifted) and fill them and add my very expensive (pretty) plants.

Also the ENTIRE lawn was cut- into twilight hours.....with the walk behind.  I told Daughter's Co-Worker he could stop but he didn't.   The place we take the riding mower to be worked on...had a FIRE (I cannot make this stuff up) in the Service Bay and everything was destroyed. Now...my first thought was....wish our mower had still been there...insurance etc.....but after the co-worker called a buddy over there....seems like it is a Real Business Disaster.

The Co-Worker seems to have a good idea what is wrong with the riding mower.   Might try and fix it. but he and daughter pushed the darn thing to the driveway.  Off the grass.

He also overshared with me.  I wonder what it is about me that makes people do that???? He also told me a story about his grandmother that I "knew".....like I had heard someone tell that story to me a while ago...and I have to tell you...it seemed very very strange.......Not deja vu...just why do I already know this story.

My iPhone updated itself and now seems intent on iCloud.  Which I have consistently deleted from all systems.  But the iPhone won't let go.....and also won't let me text.  Expiration Date. Is this how it is getting OLD....everything around your moves forward to it's Expiration Date....including Me.  The Washing Machine.  The Lawn Mower.   The Husband.  What next????

Nice to know you do not find me boring.  I actually find myself fascinating (laughing) but have to curb what I share here....for security purposes.  Laughing...........

Field Notes- Friday, July 16th. Sunshine...

 I noticed so many of my images in the Picture File are of FOOD.  And I really do NOT cook anymore.  We reheat.  Prepared meals from the grocery--or a pizza dough ball thawed out in the fridge and baked into a Pepperoni Pizza.  With onion.  Usually just fruit and yogurt for me.  Or toasted cheese on bread with pickles.  No one is cooking.  Well, I do boil water to cook dry pasta.  That's it. Oh, and bake pizza.

I asked the neighbor's lawn person if he had room for a new customer- he is running in the weeds- and then daughter calls...she has finally read blog posts (we never see her now she is back to landscaping work) and she was calling to see if I had her birth certificate- DMV.   I will have to look at Bank in the BOX and see....She might have to order a new one.  Like I had to do.

Anyway she has a guy who will mow.  And do snow in the Winter.  Candy Factory Friend. He will even be putting new shingles on her roof.....a nice guy.  We'll see.......

So.....I have a list of things to be "getting done".  It feels like a very heavy weight.  Very heavy. It depresses me.  I cry a lot..... I won't get into what else is going on here...... but we are safe and have food and perhaps the lawn mowing guy will also install the two AC units when they come to see the lawn situation.  They being daughter and her co-worker...... he is mowing for the landscaping company she works for.  They work together at Candy Factory in winter.  Just friends.

All my clothes are getting loose.....  I guess I am not eating enough.....but food is rather boring. I am MORE than boring..even to myself.

Field Notes- Thursday, June 15th. A Very Very Upsetting Day Already.

 Carrie Fell.

So here we are at 10 am.  Phone call from husband's credit card company........hacked.  Then conversation with husband....painful.   Then more from the credit card company.  Florida.  It's always Florida.  Is that entire state filled with thieves????????  I gave ZERO information to the guy on the phone.  No numbers. No address. No nothing.  I let him to all the talking......I still have my brain working.

He seemed pretty sure husband's iPhone or iPad had been hacked.  I feel confident that the man was correct.

My oatmeal beeped.  I actually haven't got anything new or interesting to write about.....well, I guess i do but I don't intend to write anything further....as this is my LIFE now...going forward.

I am reading "Better Than Fiction" which I have read before.   Husband is emptying used Keurig coffee pods.  Into the compost. It's overcast and 64 degrees with 88% humidity outside.  I have all windows closed.  I am dressed for "In the house Winter".

When my emails come in I get to delete all the Traveling Shit from Patty's "recipe" that arrived from her computer.  Endlessly.  I had hoped that NEVER opening any of it would stop the flow.....but no....they just keep coming.  And Dear Readers...I do not know how to block them.  I have never had this problem before.  I run a clean ship......Patty runs a garbage tanker.

Field Notes- Wednesday, June 14th. Clouds, Rain, Damp Chill. Quiet.

 Hal Mayfield.  I used to be very bad at Math.  I couldn't figure it out.  Now..I'm good. Enough.

Notice from the POST OFFICE.  Mail checks AT THE POST OFFICE...do not put in the box by the street. Or anywhere outside the actual Post Office.  People are stealing the checks.  More Good News???

My new tooth filling is a bit sensitive to cold and hot.  It's a big filling.  We are getting used to each other. and I am taking ibuprofen as needed.

It's dark in the house at 10:34 in the morning and I need to turn on the House Lamps.   I am wearing winter pants, thermal long sleeved shirt and wool socks. In June.  In Maine.  It's very wet outside.

I haven't chosen a book to read as yet...for today.  I did like the Frankenstein Book very much. I started reading an older book- Inappropriate Men.  But...I actually read it years ago and not sure I want to continue reading it.  I have other books on the pile.

My Desk Calendar Art is mostly thick heavy black inked words.  One word to sum up what I did during the day.  Several words if I did more than sit on the couch reading. sigh.  Can you assume I am BORED to DEATH here???????  Husband was never much of a talker but he is even less so these days. He refused to go get his haircut yesterday...... every day it's something different.

Field notes- Tuesday, June 13th. And the Heavens Wept. It's raining.

 A bouquet from my garden......already seen here before.  I have no interest in new pictures. This image is now in the discard file.

So.  It's raining on the freshly opened My Garden peonies.  They are TOAST.   As if.......Life didn't suck enough.

Dentist.  I noticed he had lovely ankles.  No socks.  There were many steps and procedures and multiples of tools used to repair my broken tooth.  And at the end...much smoothing to make sure my tongue didn't find rough spots.   It took a few hours--like 4 or 5- until I could actually, successfully drink my coffee.

At home.

We stopped at the Library but I skipped the grocery store.  No brown baking paper. No blueberries.

I had my leftover (from my Buddy Luncheon) manicotti reheated for supper.  It was lovely. Soft and easily eaten.

I successfully DID NOT watch Trump Trial News.  Or Miami Judge news.  Or anything.

I finished off Arm Candy which was very 70's-90's and started in on Angelika Frankenstein Makes Her Match by Sally Thorne who wrote my most favorite book on Earth- The Hating Game.  Angelika stitches her man together from parts of two bodies she and her brother buy at the morgue.  This is Fan Fiction.  I have never involved myself in this Fictional Category of Books.  I am often confused by the characters.  Who is whom?  But I keep reading.  I am less than halfway in.  Angelika's man has shown an interest in Gardening and Reading.  Her brother's creature has run into the woods screaming. Each creature has a body that does not belong to it's head.....

It's raining, cooler than yesterday (which was in the high 70's) and I have the lamps on.  Dark in here. It's drizzling now but must have rained overnight.   I might need socks.  I did get an email from our son.....

Field Notes- Monday June 12th. Overcast...... Muggy........ Dismal. .....ICK.

 Blueberry Muffins from the picture file........which is very very empty right now. I need to draw more cactus on index cards.....

I would like to have fancy cupcake liners- like these. Brown baking paper.  I like fancy things. But grocery store doesn't have them.  Whole Foods would def have them.  Too far away on I95. I COULD cut Brown Parchment Paper into Squares...........probably what I will do- 

after buying brown parchment paper. (which my local does carry)   after.buying Blueberries.   after the Dentist.  And yes, Connie ......Rhubarb Crisp.  Vanilla Ice Cream.

I had a shower.  Washed my hair.  Brushed my teeth.  Had Breakfast.  Brushed my teeth.  90 minutes till my dental appointment.  Husband asked if I knew how to get there.  I said yes.

So.......nothing NEW has happened.  Our children have not emailed so I am guessing neither reads the blog.  And I have not texted them........ Nothing else has caught fire...knock on wood.

Grocery store yesterday was fine.  I missed a few things but nothing of critical importance. Shelves all stocked.  I might switch to Sunday Groceries.  Monday is sometimes hit or miss with items on the shelves. 

After my tooth is repaired.......we are going to the Library.  I have three books waiting including Demon Copperhead.  Which won a Pulitzer.  Right now I am reading an old book- older- Arm Candy by Kargman. It takes place starting in the 70's and moves forward....... reminding me of those days.....shutter.

I listened to the Morning Joe news.  Those children in the Jungle for 40 days............gosh..how did I not know until this morning???.  Trump saying he did NOTHING WRONG.........even more gosh...... I am so tired right now.....of That Gas Bag and the Pence Whining Gas Bag etc.  Do you think they both have Elon Musk Brain implants?  For Artificial Thoughts?????
