I think that the rainy season is upon us.

I got up a little after 0800 this morning, not quite as sore as when I went to bed last night and my stomach was feeling better. I did not feel well enough to go to church and Kathleen went back to bed about the time I was getting up. She had gotten up earlier, did not feel good, and was still tired.

I went downstairs, let Reggie out, and noticed that it was drizzling. After Reggie came back in I made myself a couple eggs and I had the leftover hash from last night for breakfast. After I ate, I spent about an hour loading up the dishwasher and cleaning up the kitchen from Kathleen trying to make grape juice last night.

After I had the dishwasher loaded, I started it up, and then went to work on the hand washing. It is hard to believe that the kitchen was such a mess; I had it pretty well cleaned up while Kathleen was at "Women of Faith" yesterday. Oh well!

While the dishwasher was still going, I made myself some coffee and decided to sit down and read the paper. It felt good to sit for a while. The dishwasher stopped before I finished reading, but I waited until I finished the paper and then emptied it.

Kathleen still was not up and it was after noon so I decided that I would make myself some lunch. In the refrigerator, I found a leftover baked potato and hamburger grave that Andrea made Friday night before they took off for "Women of Faith". There was also some broccoli and green beans leftover from sometime last week.

Kathleen finally got up about 1330, she still did not feel too well and the only reason she got up was to get something to eat. Since she was up, I decided that I would do a load of towels. However, I had put the grapes in the utility sink that the washing machine drains into, so I asked Kathleen to do something with them. She boiled the grapes and is now draining the juice out.

I was answering Andrea's e-mail when the dryer signaled that the towels were done, but I finished the e-mail and then took the towels out and folded and put them away. By now, it was getting to be dinnertime; I looked in the refrigerator and there was some fried rice, a half of a baked potato and a couple hamburgers, all left over from the last few days.

I heated up the fried rice and one of the hamburgers for myself; I did not heat up anything for Kathleen as she just went and lay down on the couch. When she finally got up, she decided that she would rather have a couple egg yokes on top of the potato half.

Well, I think our nice weather is probably over for this year, it was nice while it lasted, but we do need the rain. I did not get a lot done today, but after all, it is the day of Sabbath rest. I think I will just call it a day, so good night!
