Misty Monday

This morning when I woke up as I lay in bed, I could hear kind of a muffled sound on the skylight in our bedroom and I thought, could this possible be snow. So I got up and looked out the window...no snow, but the ground was wet, nothing unusual for this time of year.

When I went downstairs and let Reggie out, I noticed that there was a very light mist and I decided that what I had heard in the bedroom was an occasional dripping off the fir trees and the accumulation of mist got heavy enough on the fir branches to finally fall off. I guess that we will have an opportunity to see some snow later this week.

The temperature was in the high forties early this morning and eventually got into the fifties, so it was too warm to actually snow, but one can dream. Anyway, that was the extent of the excitement for me to day.

I made myself some oatmeal this morning for breakfast, and then emptied the dishwasher and did some more hand washing of the crock-pot and frying pan. Then I went into the living room and read the paper. The mail came before I finished the paper, so I went and got it, but there was nothing there of any importance. Both Kathleen and I got credit card applications, which we promptly shredded. The rest went into the recycling bag.

After finishing the mail and the paper, I gathered up all the recycling paper and got it ready to be recycled tomorrow. Then I took the plastic bottles and metal recycling out to the front and also brought up the garbage can.

While I was out there, I decided to rake the front of the driveway because I had noticed that during a couple of the heavy rains over the last couple of weeks that the water was collecting in certain areas. I was trying to remove those areas and keep the water flowing down the street.

About 1300 I decided to make myself some lunch, so I took the hash browns and the egg whites that Kathleen had left over from her breakfast, heated up a couple sausages, and had that for lunch. Afterwards finishing eating, I cleaned up the pots and pans that had gathered and put the dishes into the dishwasher.

Kathleen called the radiation office today to find out about my appointment. I was planning on waiting until Wednesday, but I am glad that she called and we were able to make an appointment for Thursday. So hopefully I will find out more about what is going to happen at that time.

I think that we are going to have the leftover spaghetti squash from the other night for dinner. I am watching the Ohio State championship game tonight so I am writing this a little early.
