Thursday's Tempest

Well, I felt a little more wide awake this morning when I got up, but then I had gone to bed a little after 2100 last night and I dozed in my chair before I woke up enough to get up and out of my chair. I did not go for a walk this morning as my system had still not settled down and besides it was rainy and I just did not feel like it.

When I got downstairs I emptied the dishwasher and then started to make myself breakfast. As I was starting to make my eggs Aaron called and wanted to check to make sure we were up because we were going to watch Alexis this morning. I told him that I was up but Kathleen was not up yet, so he said that he would be over shortly.

I was just sitting down to eat when they got here, I asked if they wanted any thing to eat and I thought that Alexis wanted some Cheerios, but when I made her a bowl and gave it to her she let it set for a while and then she said that she did not want any. She really looked like she was ready to fall asleep, so I suggested that Aaron put her on the couch and by the time I finished eating and we got into the living room she was just about asleep.

Aaron took off a little after 0900 for the teacher conference and thought that he would be back around 1000. So I read the paper and before I finished it Aaron was back and it was only about 0940. Alexis was still sleeping so Aaron stayed around and finally called Tami to see if she were home from helping out in Becca's class.

Just before Aaron and Alexis left one of our contractors called to make sure that we were going to be home. He pulled into the driveway about a minute after Aaron pulled out, so the timing worked out just great.

He spent about two hours with us going over what Kathleen wanted the cabinets to look like. I suggested that maybe next week we could get the two contractors together and they could go over their plans together so that it all comes together and looks as good as possible.

After he left Kathleen made a couple open-faced tuna salad sandwiches for lunch. We had talked about going to the store to shop for some more of the items that we needed to finish the bathroom, like draw pulls, knobs, etc. We never made it out, Kathleen got busy upstairs and I just kind of dinked around and then realized that I probably should call my Mother, so I did.

We had a good talk for about twenty minutes, I keep getting busy during the day and by the time I remember about calling her, it is usually the time of night when she is either in bed or just about there. So today when I thought about it I thought that I better do it while the time availed.

Tonight Kathleen was going to make some spaghetti, but when she got to adding the sauce, she discovered that she did not have any, so she added some rice and made some homemade rice-a-roni with some Italian sausage. I liked it, but Kathleen said there was a flavor in it that she did not care for.

Here are the pictures from yesterday if anyone is interested; I guess the best part about them is that the colon looks rather normal. As you can kind of see they went from one end to the other and took pictures at both ends.

Well, another rather unproductive day, so I think I will say good night before I find something to do.
