Catch-up Tuesday

I got up a little before 0800 this morning and after my normal routine, I went into the kitchen. I emptied the dishwasher, then reloaded it with the pans and cooling racks from the cinnamon rolls, and started it up again. Then I heated up a couple cinnamon rolls and made a pot of coffee for breakfast.

After eating, I gathered up the towels, loaded the washing machine, and started it up. Then I brought the rest of the laundry down and when the towels finished I put them into the dryer and then did two more loads of clothes. When they dried, I folded and put everything away.

Then I went downstairs again and read the paper. It was a pretty slim news day, with yesterday being New Years Day, and then I added the paper to the recycling bag. By this time the second load of dishes was done, so I put them away.

I heated up a cup of the left over turkey soup and some cinnamon rolls for lunch and then loaded the dirty dishes into the dishwasher. I thought about sitting down in the living room for a while, but I just saw too many things that needed doing.

Since it had been a couple days since I vacuumed, I decided to vacuum, the stairs, the upstairs and the downstairs. Then I decided that I would go outside so that I could transplant a couple shrubs that were growing in areas that I did not want them. I took advantage of a few minutes when the rain had slowed down or stopped.

Speaking of weather, the news just said that it was 58 degrees today. Last night the temperature started out in the forties and before morning, it was in the low fifties. It is hard to believe that it is the first part of January.

As I was sitting in the living room, I noticed several "stacks", so I decided to go through them, sort out, and throw away. I managed to throw out quite a lot of "stuff" and put where they belonged most of everything else. There is still a lot to do, but I went through what was mine and what I knew I could do something about.

Kathleen heated up a couple cans of corn beef hash for dinner. I am not sure why, but I can eat hash just about anytime. Well, tonight looks like another quiet night, I probably will be hitting the sack early as I am tired so I will just say good night!
