Marveoous Monday

One would think that by sleeping in until 0730 I would be nice and rested, but I did not feel as rested as I think I should have after eight hours sleep. Anyway after breakfast this morning I loaded up the dishwasher and started it up.

Then I decided that I needed to shake out the throw rugs in the kitchen. Since I was doing that and had the rugs off the floor, I decided that I would sweep the floor and then mop it, so I did.

After sweeping the kitchen I thought I might as well vacuum the downstairs carpeting. The burgundy rug on top of the living room carpet seemed to have gotten a lot of "lint" on it so I thought that the rest of the carpet probably needed it as well.

Once I finished the vacuuming, I got the kitchen rugs off the fence and put them back down in the kitchen, and then I went into the living room and read the paper. After finishing the paper I emptied the dishwasher and as I was finishing that up the mail came, so I went out and got it. There really was not anything there for me, although Kathleen had a few things.

I went outside and pruned the dead roses off the plants and then got my spading fork and went to dig up the vine that was crowding out the climbing roses. The spading fork did not work so I went back to the garage, put the spading fork away and got the spade and after a few tries, I finally was able to get the roots dug up.

I decided that I was tired enough that I would go inside and sit and rest for a while. After sitting for a while inside, I thought to myself why not go outside and sit in the sun and get some fresh air at the same time. I sat there for a while and then decided to pull a few weeds.

I knew that it was starting to get time for lunch so I went inside, cleaned up and made myself a salad. I really think that the salads taste pretty good without dressing, but the raspberry vinaigrette and red wine vinegar really gives it a better flavor.

After eating, I went and gathered up the garbage from the cans in all the rooms and then put them into the garbage can and then took it up front for pickup tomorrow. Then I sat out in the sun for a while before going inside to watch Fox news.

Kathleen made some ravioli tonight for dinner and cut up the rest of the cantaloupe for dessert. The cantaloupe was really nice and sweet, and the ravioli was really good for being Costco frozen. Well, we had dinner earlier tonight than we normally do so I think I might even try to get a little extra sleep tonight.

Last night before going to bed I had to wake myself up after napping for a couple hours and then got eight hours sleep on top of that. Hopefully one of these days I will feel rested again. Well, good night for now.
