Sunny Saturday

I got up about 0630 today and felt rested, or at least I could not go back to sleep. Made myself some cereal and a banana for breakfast. After cleaning up the kitchen, I noticed that the inside of the microwave was looking pretty ugly so I took some time to clean it out.

Kathleen had to go to church this morning to finish getting ready for the Harvest Festival. She thought that she would be home around noon, but she did not get back until after 1300. She stopped off and picked up a couple of junior Whoppers for our lunch.

While she was gone, I read the paper and then decided that I would move the exercise bike into my office. Once I had that done, I went upstairs and moved the old dining room table back down stairs. With all the moving around of things, I decided that I had better vacuum the carpets.

Since Kathleen was out of bed and gone I decided that it would be a good time to change the bed linen and wash the sheets and pillow cases that were on the bed. It seems like the sheets are not changed as frequently as I would like to see them changed.

About 1600 I went outside and raked the leaves off the back lawn, and then decided that the lawn was long enough that I needed to mow, so I mowed the side and back yard. The front lawn is in the shade much of the day and does not usually grow as fast this time of year.

Shortly after I got back in the house, Toni called and wanted to pick up one of our spare computer monitors. Thinking that they would be right over I went upstairs to dig one out of the pile of things that have collected around the old computer station.

They got here about 1815 and stayed for a little while. Beside the computer monitor, I also talked them into taking the old pet cage to use for their "large" cat, coffee. I thought that they were going the get it about a month ago, so I dug it out of the garage and it has been sitting on the front porch ever since.

Well, I told Kathleen to call me after the festival was over if she needed help cleaning up, it was over at 1800 and I have not heard from her so I guess that there were enough people to help clean up.

In a way, I am glad as I still do not feel really great and by the end of the day, my throat is really sore. Well, I just shaved for about the second time this week, I guess that is one of the benefits of not having to be all fancied up for work. I think that it will be an early shower and to bed tonight.

Even though we gain an hour sleep tonight, I think I will try to take advantage of it and say good night.
