Daily Notes for Monday, August 4th. Birthday Lunch with Renee @ 12 noon..

It has taken more time to get the edge to the left than it took to read the morning paper.   We have one more index card...I have to color the others in order to finish the week...I am having lunch "out" with my former co-worker at the Greenhouse Job.  To celebrate our birthdays.  Her's this month and mine next.

1.  I slept well.  It's a rare occurrence so I thought I would mention it.

2.  The cross the road people are back home from vacation and another car is there this morning. The husband spent yesterday running a saw and using a nail gun.

3. Going thru a box of papers I found my horoscope chart... just the chart no words to explain it. Virgo with Aquarius Rising.   I found a site (internet) and this: I will personalize with she/her.  "She is incredibly rigid in her ways and exceptionally critical of those who don't see the world as she does. (spot on).  Also brilliantly innovative and a crazy genius--when you put perfection (Virgo) together with Technology and Science (Aquarious)..there is no stopping what can ultimately be created. (way off the spot- my iPhone will be the best example- I hardly know how to use it- except for the photo of art above)

4. Also I am supposed to be quite tall, blue or green eyes, light hair.  Good looking with striking features and good bone structure....   (5/6 is not tall, very dark almost black brown eyes,  I clean up nicely.  I doubt I am striking but I do have nice cheek bones...   Can be extremely critical (hell yes), but open minded at the same time. (I'd have to survey people to see if they agree); I doubt they do.

5.  I would make an excellent computer engineer...since my son has to change batteries for me and set my clock- I think he would find all of this hysterically funny.  Also the bit about exceptionally detail oriented....though I feel comfortable with the description as it pertains to art and ironing.....nothing else.

6..It follows that I would be a great Computer Engineer.  (no)  An Ethical Hacker (very possible). They also feel there are possibilities for me in the scientific and mathematical or medical fields.  I think not.

7.  I would also be great as a Detective or Science Fiction Author. (there might have been a possibility since I do enjoy making up things.. ie. lies..)  And Work from home with my family. Interesting that I have TIME for a Family.

8. Now we get to the stuff that hits home....Digestion Problems...yes...Wear shoes with good ankle support...I sprained my ankles repeatedly.....Cardio for my circulation (still a problem) hence the daily walk.  Prone to overeating because they are great cooks.  (some truth there)

9. I live in my own world and think everyday life is not worth much attention (I would agree) Original with a moody aspect.  Friendly with a good sense of humor. Unique. Good at detail work. Keen eye for organization and efficiency. (not recently but previously I amazed employers) And a REAL Connection with a partner. (never happened with the partner I chose)  Prefer alone to a bad relationship (learned my lesson). Easily bored (always). I needed artistic expression, good family, money and a best friend....  I got a guy who was ALWAYS walking away with a suitcase.

10, I'm going to see if I can find another reading for Virgo with Aquarious rising....see what it has to say.
 

Dailey Note on Sunday August 3rd.... 82 and /sunshine

Another index card.....I color them while watching extremely boring and repetitive tv.

1. At some POINT I will return to hand sewing strips to each other.  But colored markers and index cards are the only speed I am moving at right now (it's August).  That and love stories taking place 830 years in the past..sans deodorant, toothpaste.......and underwear.   I recall loving these books- and I guess I'll admit to STILL loving them. Lynn Kurland.  I wonder if she is still writing?????

2. My Son doesn't believe I am eating Greek Yogurt with 10 grams of protein per serving. I showed him the carton and he still says no.  I also eat more than the listed amount of a serving.

3. I read all the labels on the canned beans in my pantry...three servings per can- at 7 grams protein each. I just have to figure out how to eat them.....I mean on a salad?  I could make black bean burgers...but do I want to?  Any ideas?  Soup is a good idea but not in August.  Black Bean Bisque is a favorite of mine. 

4. He thinks I will be less dizzy and more "sure footed" eating high protein foods.  I am dizzy.  I will admit to that.  I weave a bit...when walking.  Or getting up to walk.  And I am NOT eager to fall and hit my head on something. (like my husband did).... while walking an a DESERTED street (my own) because I already know I can't get back up off the ground.. (and there are ants on the pavement- lots of them)...I still have half a book to finish reading. A cane would not help me get up but I plan to start takin gone along..   My Life gets crappier as the weeks go by.........

5.  Lunch this week with a former co-worker (Greenhouse). Monday...Tomorrow...Wild Oats. That has outdoor patio seating....or inside AC seating but very noisy......food is great....and desserts even better.

6.  Wednesday, my hair gets cut.

7. I bought tomatoes and bacon and soft bread for BLT's....And we could possibly be having Chinese Take Out.  Which would be AMAZING!!!!!   I ran out of ice cream bars.....

8. My Library got ME a copy of a Maine artist's book--he painted rocks- on paper in the 1960's...and I collect rocks like he did....and might collect more and start doing watercolors of them...he used oil paints. Fiore.  PBS had a hour show on his work here in Maine....I watch it quite often.  It's something I think I SHOULD have done when I was in college.... paint. Even though I had absolutely NO money to buy paint or paper. He also played the piano- beautifully.  I watch the recorded PBS show often........sometimes just the end to hear him play the piano.    The things one falls in love with....strange huh????

9. And sometimes too late.

 

Daily Notes for Saturday, August 2nd. Cool this morning and Sun later temps in the low 70's.

 1. Two of the reserved books I picked up at the Library yesterday will go back unread.  I am actually enjoying the old small  paperbacks.   When I Fall In Love by Lynn Kurland today.  None of the books look like the spines were ever cracked open....but I recall reading all of them.  But that was 20 or 30 years ago.

2. And I think these are NOT the originals...I think I replaced (what I could) after I lent them to one of my daughter's friends and she had a house fire and ALL the books were damaged by the water used to put out the fire.  I replaced some of the books but then never had time to read them. (I got a JOB)....now that's ALL I have- TIME.

3. I colored a few more index cards...while watching the news....Mr. T is removing any history of bad acts on his part from the archives in Washington...like it all never happened...like all of us will eventually forget or die and then..what?  His sins are wiped clean????  Perhaps I should erase my history?

4. So...a classmate of my husband's asked for his yearbook (but only if I was really really okay with giving it up)- seems another fellow classmate had lost hers in a fire. So I am sending it off......It's not like I was EVER asked to go to the reunions WITH him to meet his classmates...He went alone so "he could have a good time". His words not mine.  They seem like a very close knit group which is quite lovely.... and very friendly.

5. My graduating class was VERY large triple or MORE than his..  I only knew the people who had alphabetic last names near mine.  Even study hall was alphabetic.  I sat next to the same guy for four years.  And the same girl on the other side of me.  We never spoke to each other.  Yes, you read that correctly...we never spoke...... High School was like my Very Own Special Twilight Zone.  When we registered to vote at 21- and I am NOT making this up....the guy was in line in front of me...Yes, the same study hall guy.  We continued to ignore each other.  We registered to vote in alphabetical order.

6. I haven't a clue what happened to my own yearbook.  Don't care. And yes, I do remember his name.

Daily Notes- Friday August First. Google decided to mess up my sign in.

 Index card art.   I watched some NEWS yesterday on several different channels.  I won't do that again any time soon.  But to offset the news- I drew a design and colored it in.

1. Today is Library/Grocery Store....I have a list and need to add mouthwash.

2. It rained and is cooler today here in Maine....the rain was very quiet and I only know it happened because it's wet outside.  The Weather People were going on and on about the water coming on shore here in Maine.  I haven't read the paper yet- perhaps it did.  I live very close to the coast of Maine. A 20 minute drive and I can see the ocean.  Longer if there is Summer Traffic.  Mainers do not like Summer Traffic. Even if the Traffic is a major income producer.......

3. I am wearing a big loose white linen shirt and I think I need something under it unless I want everyone to see what's under my shirt.  A nice lightweight tank top would be perfect. I doubt I have one.

4.  I pulled on an ancient threadbare white tee shirt under the white linen shirt.

5. Maine's Beaches had unsafe levels of fecal bacteria last year....no reports of the same thing this year.

6. Something very weird is going on with my hair.....I need to go look at it and see what...so this post will be short.  Feels like spiders.
