I slept in until 0800 this morning. I got up and made my self some cereal and raisin/walnut toast. After breakfast, I put away the dishes and read the newspaper. Next, I gathered up the trash from all the rooms, took it out to the garbage can, and took it up front for tomorrow’s pickup.
I also did a couple loads of laundry, folded it, and put it away. I thought that I had better mow the leaves in both the front and back yard. I did not have the energy to rake the leaves so using the mower is a quick option. Besides there were a couple patches where the grass actually needed to be mowed.
It was about 1400 by the time I finished so I went inside and made myself a salmon sandwich and had some of yesterday’s leftover rice dish. Because it was so nice outside I just could not bring myself to stay inside and do some of the inside jobs, so I went out to the big rose garden and started weeding. I was getting really sore, but I had so much to do that I just kept weeding. Kathleen came out and asked me if I wanted to work until it got dark and by that time I was sore enough that I decided to quit for the day and get cleaned up for dinner.
We had leftover meatloaf, some green beans, broccoli and new potatoes. I think that this is our forth meal out of the meatloaf and there is still some left for a sandwich or two tomorrow.
After dinner Kathleen went to Michael's to use her 50% off coupon and I think that she was going to Staples as well. I am just too sore to go, I took an Advil after dinner, but it is either not working or has not kicked in yet.
I do not think that I will have any trouble sleeping tonight. I doubt if there will be anything exciting happening tonight so I will just say good night now and call it a day.

I've been enjoying the weather too, but unfortunately, I got sick yesterday and couldn't put the pool cover on...now, thanks to all the wind today, there are more leaves in the pool. Oh well, there's always tomorrow!
I can relate to the wind, as I was working under the walnut trees I was constantly bombarded by the falling walnuts.
About ten minutes after I finished mowing the front yard I had a couple dozen walnuts on the ground again.
I hope you are feeling better today.
Love,
Dad
