Sticky Saturday

It must have rained a little last night because when I woke up, I had a hard time breathing, and it was like trying to breathe underwater...a slight exaggeration, but close. Anyway I wound up getting up a little earlier than I would have liked to but I just could not get back to sleep, so it was better that I got up.

Kathleen had three or four egg whites in the refrigerator, so I used them and made one of my omelets. I toasted some dark rye and once I made the omelet sandwich, I had about the same amount left over that I had it on the side. I also heated up a Morningstar soy sausage patty to go along with the omelet.

Kathleen also had a very small amount of salmon left over which I put on the toast before I put the omelet on, so in a way I had a salmon omelet. It really had a good flavor, I will have to remember to leave a little salmon for another omelet next time we have salmon.

After eating, I emptied the dishwasher and washed some of the hand washing items I then put in the dishes from breakfast. Then I poured myself a cup of coffee and then went into the living room to read the paper. Saturday is not usually a high news day, and today was not exception.


After I read the paper, I went out and got the mail, not much of a mail day either. With the mail taken care of I went outside and worked on the roses for a little while, they had not been taken care of for a coupe of days because of the rain. The grass was still pretty wet, but the front lawn needed mowing, so I mowed it anyways.

I was a little surprise that the grass did not clump up any more than it did, which was pretty minimal. The back yard had not grown as much, for a couple reasons. A couple weeks ago when I fertilized, I only did the front yard, and during the hot dry spell, I only watered the front lawn. The back yard, for the most part is in the shade, from the cherry trees, the mountain ash and the apple tree.

Because it had been so dry, there are some spots that have turned brown, but because of the trees it is really hard to use the automatic sprinkler, so it just does not get the watering that it should.

After putting the mower away and cleaning up, I made myself a Limburger cheese and sweet onion sandwich, yum, yum! We had a couple of our upstairs screens re-screened at the hardware store, and they called the other day and said that they were ready to pick up, so I went upstairs to see if Kathleen was ready to go, she kind of was.

We finally got out of here about 1430. We also had a large frying pan that the non-stick surface was coming off so we took that back to La Gourmet Chef and exchanged it for a new one. Since it retails for about $235.00, we did not pay anyways near that much for it, we did not think that the coating should be flaking off the way it was.

After we got that all done, Kathleen wanted to look at a few more things, I was getting pretty worn out, so I told her that I could not hold up much longer, so after one more stop we took off for home, or so I thought.

Kathleen did not feel much like cooking so she stopped at Burger King. We waited on line for about ten minutes, there were about eight people ahead of us and we never did see anyone at there to take our orders. Finally Kathleen asked and she was told that they had to fill the existing orders before they could take anymore.

It made a little sense, but I figured that if we had to wait this long and still not be waited on even after we got waited on we would have a long wait ahead of us, so we left. We stopped off at Burgerville and ordered one burger and an order of Walla Walla onion rings and a couple Black Forrest Shakes...excellent!

We did not have to wait to give our order and the order was delivered to our table in about five minutes. The hamburgers were so much better and the shake was to die for! I think that both of us had enough to eat and even left with over half of our shake.

I have not been feeling very well for the last few days, and maybe that is one of the reasons that I am not sleeping well either. Right now my stomach really aches, not ones normal stomach ache, but more my gut, or probably more specific my intestines. I have been overly gassy as well, which means that I need to stay close to the toilet. Oh the joys of the side effects from the radiation!

Well, I have rambled on long enough, so good night!
