Soggy and Sunny Sunday

This morning when I woke up it was raining pretty hard, just as it had been off and on all night, so I rolled over and went back to sleep until about 0900. I cannot believe that I have been sleeping in so late myself; I guess that I was more worn out than I realized and my body is just trying to get caught up.

I sorted the clothes before I went downstairs and left the laundry bags in the bedroom so that Kathleen could put her clothes in them when she awoke. Once downstairs I looked in the refrigerator to see what I could make for myself for breakfast. I found some egg whites, a chopped up red potato and a couple slices of bacon.

So I fried up the bacon and chopped up half a slice, then I drained the bacon grease and fried the egg whites adding the chopped up bacon, some onion, and garlic and added a little cayenne. While that was cooking, I heated up the potato. I not only made a decent breakfast, but I also emptied two containers out of the refrigerator.

After eating and putting my dishes into the dishwasher, I cleaned the frying pan and then cleaned up the stove. Then I went into the living room and read the paper. After reading the paper I watched the first of the March Madness games today. Once the paper was read, I put it into the recycling, and then I took the recycling to the garage to sort out into the different containers.

Before I knew it, it was time for lunch, so again I opened the refrigerator to see what I could make for lunch. I found some beef tips, gravy, a couple red potatoes and some asparagus. So I took one of the potatoes opened it up and put the gravy on it, then put the beef tips on the side and put it into the micro wave and cooked it. Just before it was done I added the asparagus and finished cooking it all.

Not too bad for a leftover meal, and I was able to clear out three more containers out of the refrigerator. I have always liked leftovers, so doing this is almost a treat for me. Kathleen sometimes forgets what is in the refrigerator and it goes bad, so I do not feel too badly about using what I find in there for my meals.

After resting for a while, I decided that I needed to take a walk since the sun was out and I was getting cabin fever. I have thought about it for quite a while, but for the last couple of months, I could not get that far from the toilet. The other reason I have not done it was that I just did not have the energy to make the effort. I realize that taking a walk would be really good for me, but it takes a lot of energy and knowing that I will not have to rush to make it to the bathroom.

I felt pretty good after my walk, so I went out to the back yard and pulled some weeds and small tree sprouts. After a while I could feel myself getting tired, so even though I did not want to, I gathered up my tools and put them into the garage and went inside and cleaned up.

Kathleen had added her clothes to the laundry bags, so I took the dark clothes downstairs and loaded them into the washing machine and started it up. Then I went into the living room and sat down in my chair for a while and before I knew it I had dozed off.

About 1815 I got up and put the clothes into the dryer, then I went upstairs and asked Kathleen what she had planned for dinner, and then I suggested that we have the lasagna that Alyssa made. She said that she planned on doing that, so this is three nights in a row that we have had it. There is just enough for tomorrow night, so that is four meals that we have enjoyed the lasagna.

Speaking of Alyssa, she and the rest of her family are flying to Disneyland tomorrow morning for the week. I am not sure that I envy them, as this is spring break for many of the schools around here and Disneyland will be really packed.

After dinner I folded and put away the dark clothes, I will save the whites for tomorrow morning. Well, I think that this is all for tonight, so good night!
