I knew that I was tired last night, but when I slept until 0830 this morning I really knew it. I was still tired, when one considers that I had slept for about nine hours, and wound up taking a three hour nap this afternoon.

Once I got up, I made myself an egg and soy sausage sandwich, the made myself some coffee and headed to the living room to read the paper and mail. There was a fair amount of mail, and not all of it was junk mail, so it took a while to get through it there was even a magazine for me to read.

It had started to rain again, so going outside to do anything was kind of out of the question, so I sat in my chair and rested for a while longer. The faucet in the downstairs bath tub had bee dripping most of the week, so I shut off the hot water to it and proceeded to change it. Then I cleaned up one of the draws in the vanity that seems to always collect junk.

Kathleen was in the kitchen making some oatmeal, raisin and dried cherry cookies and when I looked at the clock, I noticed that it was after 1300, so I went into the kitchen to see what I could find to have for lunch; I wound up making some broccoli cheddar soup.

It was a dry mix, that we must have had forever, but I am always willing to try things, so I mixed it up and heated it up, it did not taste all that great, but it was not bad either. I added a little Tabasco sauce to spice it up a little, and that helped a lot. I did not finish it so into the refrigerator it went.

Doing lunch must have worn me out because I got so tired that I headed upstairs to take a nap. I had not had one in a couple days, mostly because it was so nice outside that I just did not take the time to do it. In my condition now, I think that I really need the nap time. I hate to say that but I really notice the difference when I do not get one.

I think that is one of the reasons that I was so tired today. Anyway, I got up about 1900 and asked Kathleen if she thought of anything for dinner, she suggested soup, so she heated up a can of soup and then I finished the broccoli cheddar from lunch.

Well, I did not get much of anything constructive done today, but I feel better than I did earlier in the day. Since I cannot think of anything else to write about, I will just say good night.
