Thursday's Traveling

This today was pretty normal, breakfast, read the paper and the mail and went for a walk. After my walk I got out my garden cart and went over to the next street to the north, where they are putting in some new houses. I had talked to the fellow who owns the land and is the contractor and asked him about taking some used brick that had been dumped there.

He had said that he would just have to pay to have it removed and that if I wanted it I could have it. I made two trips, the bricks are heavy and I had twenty-five or thirty in each load. There is probably another load left, mostly broken pieces which I probably will get tomorrow.

I thought that I could use them to create a walkway with them; I had thought that I would have to buy them and this will save some money for very little work. I was a little surprised at how much it wore me out, although by now I should be use to not being able to do much.

After I brought the last cart over I went inside and cleaned up and then made myself a salad. We had some salmon left over, so I flaked off some and topped the salad with it. I also made myself an egg beater omelet this morning with a little salmon in it, so this has been a salmon day for me.

I have spent a good portion of this afternoon researching window contractors; I am still hopping that we can get it done for a lot less than the one bid we got a couple weeks ago. Then tonight I have a discussion group to go to for an hour and a half. I get paid for this and it does not take too much time and the pay is something like $25 an hour, so it is a little hard to refuse.

I am not sure what Kathleen is planning on having for dinner tonight, she has been upstairs most of the day, but that is nothing new. I guess I will have to go up there and see what she is planning and also to remind her that I need to eat and get out of here this evening.

So because I am going to be gone tonight after dinner I am going to send this out early. I know that when I get home tonight I will probably be too tired to write this then, so I will just have to say good night now.
