It took almost an hour to get everything watered that I wanted to water, so after I was done I went into the house and made myself some breakfast. I bought some Morningstar breakfast bits the other day and heated them up along with a Morningstar "sausage" patty. Morningstar makes some pretty tasty vegetarian foods and are pretty healthy to boot.
After breakfast, I emptied the dishwasher and then went into the living room to read the newspaper. Before I finished the paper the mail came, so I went out and got it. We got a couple get well cards from a couple of couples in our SS class and I got an annual report from one of my stocks and our dentist bill.
It was not even a full bill because Kathleen had to cancel her appointment because of her kidney stone procedure last week, so there is more to come. Luckily we have three months to pay it without drawing any interest charges.
Once I finished the mail and the paper, I went outside and got my pruners and collapsible container and went out front to work on the hedge once again. I thought that I would be able to finish it today, and even though I had to push myself a little bit I did finally get it finished. It only took me a couple weeks to do it, but it looks pretty good.
Not only did I do my side, but the east side as well...I figure that it was our hedge and that is the least I can do is keep it trimmed.
After finishing the hedge, I put everything away and sat out in the sun for about twenty minutes. I knew that there were a blackberry and a nightshade plant that I saw the other day that I needed to get out before they got too big.
So I went into the garage and got out my spading fork and dug out about seven blackberry plants and five nightshade plants. I also dug out a couple dandelion plants that were starting to get pretty large.
By this time it was getting time for lunch, so I cleaned up the spading fork and put it back into the garage and went into the house to and got cleaned up. For lunch I reheated the two ravioli that were left over from last night and finished the rest of the cottage cheese.
After putting the dishes into the dishwasher I went onto my computer to answer an e-mail from our financial adviser and check my other e-mails. When I finished on the computer I went upstairs to see if Kathleen was ready to go to Winco, she was not, so I went outside for a while and did a little cosmetic work on some of the roses.
I figured that Kathleen must be pretty close to being ready to go grocery shopping, so I went upstairs and changed my clothes. Then I went back downstairs and got the shopping list and the coupons and sat in my chair to wait for her to come down.
I dozed off for a while and when I woke up she still was not down, so I decided that I would go upstairs and take a nap rather than keep dozing in the chair. I napped for over an hour, but did not feel any better when I got up and by now it was really too late to go shopping. So I got up and put on my old clothes and went downstairs to watch the news.
About 1800 Kathleen asked if chili sounded okay for dinner, it sounded pretty good for me. I had not eaten much chili lately because of what it can do to my bowels, but I thought that I would give it a try. Kathleen also cut up a mango and an avocado to go along with the chili.
Kathleen made two cans, and there is going to be enough left over for lunch tomorrow...that is if my bowels do not react too strenuously to the chili that I had tonight. Well, that is about it for tonight, I am not quite as tired as I have been, but I am also not as energetic as I would like to be either.
I think that the weather might have something to do with it, it was almost 90 degrees out today and I usually get a little sluggish when it gets much above 80. Well, maybe tomorrow we will get our grocery shopping done, until then, good night.
