Saturday's Somewhat Satisfying

This morning I picked up over two grocery bags of stuff at the high school today. A lot of it was drink bottles and cups from the game last night. It was not really as bad as I thought it might have been.


For breakfast I made an egg beater omelet with onion, mushrooms, red, yellow and green peppers, I also heated up the left-over fish and tater tots from last night, so I started out the day with a pretty hardy meal.

After putting the dishes into the dishwasher I went into the living room to read the paper. After finishing the paper, I went outside and pruned the roses and dug up tree suckers. I also decided to do a little tree trimming to the ash tree in the back yard. It had a lot of dead branches and ones that were low hanging and in my way when I walked underneath it.

Then I went back into the house and checked the mail, there really was not much of anything there, so I recycled it and then went back outside.

This time I decided to tackle the rest of the ivy under the fir trees. I finally have it all pulled out, but I am also sure that I will have to keep pulling up shoots as they sprout from the finger roots that I missed pulling out.

Then I went back inside and made my self some lunch. I used a brot roll and added sardines to it for a nice sardine sandwich. After resting for a while, I decided to go back outside and
get my chipper and chip up the branches that I cut out of the tree as well as the branches, fir cones and other things that I had been storing in one of my garbage cans.

I started chipping about 1530 and by the time I finished it was 1930 and I was really tired. Besides being tired I also slice the tip of one of my fingers and that bleed for quite a while. It is really still pretty sore and I am having a difficult time trying to keyboard.

Kathleen had gone to Fabric Depot and then grocery shopping and she came home just as I was washing up. She was surprised that I was just finishing up as well. After I cleaned up a little I helped her unload the car and then we ate dinner.

She had bought some fried and some baked chicken for me along with some Jo-Jo's, Cole slaw, and macaroni salad. I tried eating the chicken, but it was too greasy and so I just had a little salad and slaw and a couple Jo-Jo's for dinner. I was more tired than hungry anyway.

Well, this brings me to now, and I think I really need to jump into the shower and really get cleaned up, so I will just say my good nights and call it a day.

Now, you have me curious! What are Jo-Jo's? That is a new one for me!

Sounds like you had a really busy day. How is your finger feeling now?

Mom had a good check-up at the doctor on Thursday. She has to go back next month for a flu shot.

It is finally raining. I have had to water my plants twice a day for the last few weeks. The hydrangea and the impatience seem especially thirsty every day.

I hope you have another great day today! Thanks for writing.

Love,
Sue

They are like large French fries, larger even than country fries and not crisp, but rather just crisp on the outside and soft inside.

My finger is feeling a little better, it still hurts but it is much better than last night.

Right now my arthritis is really letting me know that I did a lot of work yesterday.

Our hydrangea and impatience are always thirsty, I am not really sure why, other than it has really been dry this summer.

Glad to hear that Mom is doing better. This is the second week in a row that I have felt pretty good. This is the longest I have felt well since January.

Give Mom my love,
Bob
