Saturday Shopping

This morning started out pretty normally, I was going to make myself some hash browns and a couple eggs, but I thought that my oatmeal concoction might be a little healthier, so the healthy food won out.

After eating, I washed a lot of hand wash pots and pans and things that I do not like to put into the dishwasher. The mail had gotten here, so I opened it, one bill and the rest was junk mail so it went right into the recycling bag.

Then I poured myself another cup of coffee, went into the living room, and read the paper. After finishing the paper and recycling it, I took the kitchen scraps out to the compost tumbler.

While I was out there, I noticed that the field that I was using yesterday to cut down the blackberries was being bulldozed, so it was a good thing that I did what I did yesterday. Today if I had tried doing it, I would be up to my knees in mud.

Since we did not get to go shopping yesterday, we were planning to do it today, but Kathleen was busy going through stuff and finding some things that she had been looking for, for quite a while. Then about 1400 I made myself some chicken gumbo soup and soaked some stale bread in it to give it more volume.

Finally about 1530 Kathleen came down stairs and was ready to go, I was almost ready to say forget it as it had gotten so late, but I realized that we needed to go and we were running out of time. We took back what we had to take back and bought a coupe of things that we were looking for.

It was 1930 when we finally left the mall; I was hungry and tired so we headed for home. Kathleen reheated the stir-fry from last night and we played the sound track from "the Nativity Story", one of the things we bought today, while we ate.

It is now after 2030 and I think that I will just say good night now.
