Monday Madness

Well, I went to bed before Kathleen and she got up before me this morning. She was not feeling well and got up just a few minutes before I did. I gathered up the towels, loaded them into the washing machine, and then let Reggie outside for his morning duty call.

Then I went and sat down at my computer to do my morning readings. When I finished my morning computer stuff Kathleen was coming downstairs and asked if I felt like pancakes this morning.

Since I had though about either oatmeal or eggs this morning, neither one did I really feel like, but pancakes did sound pretty good. We had a banana that was about a week past what I would eat and even beyond what Kathleen would eat so she added that to the pancakes and it really tasted good, I cannot remember the last time I had banana pancakes.

The mail came before I sat down to eat, so I went out to get it and other than a Christmas card, there really was not much there. The towels were done washing so I put them into the dryer and sat down to read the paper.

About the time I finished the paper the dryer was done, so I unloaded the towels, folded them and put them away. Then I took the kitchen scraps out to the composter and then picked up after Reggie. Then I took the recycling and the garbage out front.

Kathleen came downstairs a little while after I came back inside and got cleaned up. We were planning on going to the credit union to deposit a couple checks and then do some more Christmas shopping for the grandchildren.

We looked at a couple stores, but just did not find what we were looking for, so we went to Costco. We were planning on going there anyway, but we were able to find what we were looking for and picked up the spiral cut ham for Christmas. I even got Kathleen a bunch of flowers that she arranged in a couple large vases when we got home.

She asked what to do for dinner, so I suggested that we use the rest of the open package of meatloaf from the other night and a couple of baked potatoes. What that was warming up she asked if I wanted green beans or creamed corn, since it had been a long time since we had creamed corn, I said let's have the corn, so we did.

After dinner Kathleen asked if I wanted some hot chocolate, we had gotten some dark Belgian chocolate mix at Costco, so I thought that we might as well try it. Kathleen took hers upstairs and I have mine here at my computer. I do not think that there will be anything else to write home about tonight so I will say good night now!
