Making Monday Marvelous

I had a good nights sleep last night and after eating breakfast and reading the paper, I went out and watered the new grass. Yes it is no longer just grass seed, but this morning I actually noticed some grass that had sprouted some time in the last couple days. I have been so out of it that I had not noticed it until this morning.

After finishing the watering, I took myself for a walk, instead of just going ten blocks or so, today I went about thirty-four blocks. It took me about a half hour, as I tried to do it at a pretty good clip. I got my heart rate up quite a bit and even worked up a sweat.

Shortly after I got home the mail came, so I opened it up and read it, then rested for a while. I could not stay inside any longer, so I went outside and sat in my Adirondack chair and soaked up some rays.

Well, I just could not sit there, so I got my gardening tools out and started to do some weeding in the rose garden. Even though I had the garden looking pretty good a month or so ago, the weeds are really growing like weeds!

It was pretty warm today, almost eighty degrees, so I could not stay out too long, as the garden is pretty much in the sun all afternoon. So I gathered up my tools and put them back into the garage and then cleaned up.

After resting for a few minutes, I made myself a couple grilled cheese sandwiches for lunch, of course by this time it was about 1430, but I had not thought about eating until I got back into the house. After eating I sat in my chair in the living room for about an hour, dozing off and on.

When I finally awoke, I decided that a shower might help, so I went upstairs to get some clean clothes. While I was up there I decided to try on some short as the ones I had been wearing were getting pretty loose. To my surprise I was able to drop down two sizes, which made me feel better.

Shortly after my shower, Kathleen asked me to come into the kitchen to help decide what to have for dinner. We decided to use the rest of the pot roast and potatoes and have a roast beef stew. So after a bit, it was done, and it made about three cups, large cups at that, of stew.

The pot roast was used for at least six meals, so it was well worth the price. Now we will have to really think about what to have for the next couple of days. After dinner, I gathered up all the dishes, pots and pans and loaded them into the dishwasher and started it up.

I must say that I am really tired tonight, but at least I know why, and it is not just from being sick. That is about everything I can think to write about so good night.
