Saturday Soaps

Well, this morning I got off to a rather slow start. When I finally drug myself out of bed and went downstairs to do my morning computer time, I found out that the computer and phone were not working. The cable TV was working but not the cable broadband or computer phone.

I called the cable company on my cell phone around 0845 and after playing the push the buttons game, I finally got to talk to a real live person. They finally were able to let me know that there was a problem in the area and they had no estimated time of completion. So I decided to make myself some breakfast.

I took some of the ribs and took the meat off it, added some chopped onions, added some chopped garlic, shredded a potato and fried them up. When they were done, I fried a couple eggs. It must have smelled pretty good as Kathleen came down shortly afterwards and asked what I had made. I think it was the onion and garlic combination that produced the good aroma. I like using a lot of onion and garlic when I cook.

Kathleen made herself some hash browns and eggs as well. Since we could not do anything on the computer I decided to strip the bed and wash the bed linen, after that I did four loads of regular laundry, washed, dried, folded and put away.

I was getting tired of picking up the phone to see if it was working yet or not, so I called Comcast and took the option to get called when the system was back up. About 1500 I got a phone call from Dan's father so I knew that the lines must be working. I finally got a chance to check my e-mail.

I quartered an orange, an apple and peeled a banana for lunch. I just vacuumed yesterday, but I could see a lot of Reggie fur on the burgundy rug, so I decided that I had better vacuum again. It seems sometimes he just sheds like crazy and other days not so much.

Luckily, it was Saturday, so there was not a lot of e-mail, but since I do my devotions online and also my Bible reading, I could get that done as well. Of course, if worse came to worse, I could always do it the old fashion way and use my Bible and do my devotions with my computer Bible program, but I have gotten so spoiled.

Anyway, for dinner it just felt like a chili night, so we used some of the left over rice and put chili on top. I had one bowl and started to eat another one, but I decided that I was full enough and did not need to stuff myself.

Well, Kathleen has gone upstairs and I will probably finish this up, watch a little TV, then go upstairs, take a shower, and enjoy those nice crisp sheets. So good night!
