Another somewhat productive day

I had breakfast and then decided to finish the dishes from last night; Kathleen still was not up so I read the paper. She had gotten a couple phone calls that she needed to return so I woke her up a little after 0900. We had a couple frying pans on the stove and a couple other hand wash things so I washed them.

Kathleen did not feel like going anywhere today so I went outside, did some edging, and pulled out some more of the violets from one of the back gardens.

It was starting to get warm in the sun so I went inside and vacuumed the downstairs. By this time, I was starting to get hungry so I made myself some lunch. Kathleen was upstairs talking on the phone, so when I finished eating I went out to the front yard and did some edging to the garden in front oft the house. I also decided that I needed to rake the leaves from the front lawn, so I got the rake and started raking.

While I was doing that, I talked to one of the guys that was doing some work next door. They were taking the aluminum siding that they had taken off to the recyclers. I asked them if they wanted some steel and he said sure, so I got rid of the old barbeque and the frame for the futon that we had bought for Toni several years ago, but had gotten bent and was not good enough to keep for using.

So I was able to get rid of a couple of items that I was not sure how I was going to get rid of. After I got that all hauled over there I put some fertilizer on the blueberries and strawberries earlier in the day so I watered that in.

About that time, I was starting to get hungry so I suggested to Kathleen that we use some of the left over mashed potatoes, the cube steak that we bought the other day and the green beans that Kathleen and Andrea bought at Rossi farm last week.

We still had about half the mashed potatoes left over and a little bit of the green beans, so I will probable make that for lunch one of these days.

After dinner I put all the left overs in containers and put them in the fridge. I also loaded up the dishwasher and started it. There were several hand wash items so I washed them as well. So now, the kitchen is semi-clean and I am ready to go to sleep.

Kathleen has still been really emotional again today, she does not know why and neither do I. She had a meeting tonight so I have been able to just take it easy and rest up. So I guess that I will just say good night.
