Still Sore Saturday

I did not get a lot of rest last night as I slept in my easy chair, so that I would not have to try to navigate the stairs with my sore knee last night. I just could not get comfortable no matter what I did. I finally got up and got the paper and set it down on my chair.


I made myself am omelet for breakfast with onions, mushrooms, garlic; red sun dried tomatoes and topped it off with hot salsa. I also made a couple slices of dark rye toast. After cleaning up the kitchen, I went outside to rake the leaves; first I did the front lawn and then went to work on the back yard.

After I had all the leaves raked, I worked on the garlic and onions. I have them all harvested and am now working on trying to get the rest of the area, where I am planning on having the vegetable garden next year weed free.

I spent a couple hours working on it, for as long as I worked on it I did not really get a lot done, mostly because my knee was so uncomfortable no matter what I did with it. I could not lean on my left hand as my wrist was sore as well, so I had a rather difficult time of it all. I also had to get up every so often so that I could stretch out my knee so that it would not stiffen up on me.

I finally called it quits about 1500 and reheated some of the chicken and rice that Kathleen made for dinner last night. While I ate lunch I also went through the mail, most of it was junk and catalogs.

I finally made my way into the living room and read the paper, it seemed like it took me a while to get through it, not that there was that much there, I just kept getting up so that I could stretch out my knee. Now every time I move my knee, I break open the scab that has formed over my knee cap. In fact my whole knee cap is one big scab.

Well, Kathleen is making me some clam chowder for dinner, and she is making herself some beans. I cannot think of anything else to write about, my wrist is not nearly as sore as it has been, at least I can keyboard with both hands tonight.

Well, I guess I will just say good night, I am not sure if I will sleep in my chair again tonight or not. I probably will as my knee is still really sore and I do not want to take a chance of falling down the stairs.
