Tired Tuesday

The sun was out this morning when I awoke, so you guessed it, I got up early. When I got downstairs I emptied the dishwasher and then I made myself a couple sunny side up eggs, a veggie sausage and some toast for breakfast. After eating breakfast and cleaning up my mess, I went into the living room and read the paper. Tuesday’s paper is a pretty light read, so it did not take very long to read it.

I started to go outside, but I saw the mailman across the street so I waited for the mail, again, not much there. So I went outside and worked on the edging in the front yard as I was expecting the city inspector to give his approval on the electric work that I had done last week.

I got my whole yard done and the neighbors side next to us on the east side and then the inspector arrived. He spent a couple minutes looking at it and then put his tag of approval on it. Now I just need the power company to come out and put their permanent seal on it.

After putting my tools away I went inside and cleaned up. It was so nice out that I decided to go outside again this time I took my scythe out and went to the field next door and whacked away at the weeds. I got all of the east side done and about a quarter of the south side.

After that I took my weed whacker and did the fence line of the house next door, our neighbor is gone for a few days, so I though that I would take advantage of it and do a little weed control.

When I finished that I put my tools away and also noticed that Andrea's Land Rover was in the driveway so I went inside and cleaned up and visited with her for a while. After a bit, I made myself a Limburger cheese and sweet onion sandwich and then went into the living room where Kathleen and Andrea were.

Andrea was going to make some spinach pie for Toni tonight and invited us over, but I was tired and sore form working outside all day. As it turned out it was a good thing that we did not go...more on that later.

After Andrea and Brandon left I asked Kathleen if she had any plans for dinner and she suggested chili and rice. That sounded good to me so I said sure. Kathleen started having a pain in her head and recognized it as the start of shingles. She called the doctor's office and got an appointment for 1830.

So just after finishing eating, cleaned up the kitchen, cleaning up myself and changing clothes it was time to leave for the doctor's. Shingles in the early stage is hard to diagnosis so the doctor relied on Kathleen's past experience with it and how she felt at that time. He prescribed a couple things for her to take, so that meant a trip to Fred Meyer and a wait for it to be filled.

Well, that pretty much brings us to right now, I was tired before dinner and I am really tired now, so with out any further verbiage I am just going to say, good night!
