A Tremendous Thursday

I had a pretty good night last night, I only had to get up one time, which is pretty good, and so when 0730 rolled around I was ready to get up. After eating, reading the paper and the mail, I went outside and mowed the back yard. It did not take that long and I probably could have finished it yesterday, I am just learning that I cannot push myself too much or else I crash.

I do not have anywhere near the energy or endurance that I did a few months ago and I am learning, sometimes the hard way that I need to build up my strength and endurance gradually. This for me is not the easiest thing to do, I have always been able to kick into another gear and keep going, and I no longer have those extra gears to kick into.

After finishing the lawn, I went back inside and rested for a while. After I was feeling better I made myself some lunch out of the lasagna that Alyssa made for us last week. There is still one piece left, so I will probably have it for lunch tomorrow.

After I ate, I cleaned up the kitchen a little bit, mostly just gathered up the dirty dishes and silverware. Then I went outside to take advantage of the really nice weather we are having, I decided that I could best spend my time by doing some more weeding around the blueberries and around the walkway behind the berries.

Chucky came over to borrow my jump starter so that he could start Dan's John Deere tractor, as he wanted to mow their yard while they were away. I told him to call us when he finished and we would see about doing dinner together. Then I went back to weeding, I worked on that for about two hours and then realizing that I was getting pretty tired I decided to stop so that I could go inside and rest.

So I put the tools away and got cleaned up then proceeded to doze off in my chair. I slept until about 1730 and then turned the news on to see what was happening around the world today. Kathleen made dinner around 1900; actually she heated up the casserole from last night.

Chucky never did call back, so we ate without him as I do not like to eat dinner much beyond 1900. After eating I soaked the pan that the casserole was in and put the other dishes into the dishwasher. I cannot think of anything else to write about so I will just say good night.
