Slumbering Saturday

I was up early this morning, as I needed to get to church early to make breakfast for the men this morning. I certainly did not feel life getting up, but I had agreed to do the breakfast before I started this last round of treatment.


Breakfast attendance was down as the snow that had been melting yesterday had turned to black ice and the roads and the parking lot were just one big skating ring. I had not realized that the roads were slick as I had no trouble in the Wrangler, but once I stopped and got out of it in the parking lot, I soon discovered how slippery it was.

When I left the house, my driveway was pretty clear as I pushed the snow off it last Thursday, so that there was not any moisture to freeze. I also did not notice the roads being slick getting to church, but I did notice it in the parking lot, but was too tired to connect it with black ice.

After breakfast, I went home, read the mail and eventually got around to reading the paper. My little brother called and we talked for about an hour, and then I went into the kitchen and cut a piece of the apple crisp that Toni made for us last night and that was my lunch.

After that, I went outside to clean up after Reggie, about five days of not getting out there because of the snow. The back yard was mostly muddy and only a few spots of any snow left. The only place that there was much snow was the sled run that I had added extra snow for the granddaughters to sled down.

When I came back inside, I went back to my chair and sat down, but I could tell that I was struggling to stay awake, so I went upstairs and went to bed for a nap. Kathleen finally woke me up a little after 1800 and it took me about fifteen minutes to wake up and get myself out of bed.

Once awake enough, I made my way downstairs and decided that if I did not writ this now, it probably would not get written, so here I am. When I first got up, Kathleen asked if I wanted to eat anything, at the time, it did not appeal to me, but I must be waking up some more as I am starting to feel hungry.

I am not surprised, as I really only had breakfast today. Well, I think that last nights "orange chicken" that Toni made last night has been heated up and I feel like eating, so I will just say good night.
