Wednesday's Ways

Again I had a good nights sleep last night, by that I mean I slept okay. When I got up I virtually had just enough energy to go downstairs and make myself breakfast. It was Wednesday, so being the creature of habit that I am, I made myself an egg sandwich. To go along with it I micro waved a couple soy sausages and toasted a couple pieces of English muffin bread.

After cleaning up the pan and putting the dishes in the dishwasher, I went into the living room to read the paper. When I finished the paper, I went out and watered the "new" grass and picked up some fir branches and cones. The mail cane shortly after I finished watering, so I went into the house with it and opened it up.

I got my bank statement and portfolio statement, so I reconciled the bank accounts and added the progress of all my funds into the data base that I keep for them. I have been very fortunate in that they all have been showing positive returns, although that is not so surprising right now as the market in general is doing well.

My portfolio has shown growth over the last several years with the exception of a couple months, so that is really good. Even after taking out all my living expenses, taxes and fees, I still managed to make a good profit. My corporate property investments have done exceptionally well. So even after living off the earnings for the last year, I still have more than I had last year, so I cannot complain at all.

Well, after seeing what my investments were doing, I decided that I would plant a plant that Kathleen bought a couple weeks ago, so I got Kathleen to show me where she wanted it. While I was doing that I transplanted a couple other plants that had grown in places where I did not want them.

After doing all the transplanting, I noticed that I never finished weeding the berry patch, so I finished up that and by this time I was really worn out. So I cleaned up my tools and put them away; I was going to go into the house and rest, but I figured that I would just sit in my Adirondack chair for a while.

The sun felt good, but I knew that I needed to go inside and make myself some lunch. By the time I got inside it was after 1400, so I made myself a Boca burger and put it on a couple heels of the English muffin toast. I added a slice of Velveeta to the burger and melted it, then added a couple kosher dill slices. I had not had a Boca burger for quite some time and here I have had one two days in a row.

I was feeling pretty worn out so I went into the living room and sat in my chair and dozed for a while. I am not quite sure why, but I have been really worn out for the last week or so. I could understand it when I had the flu, but I just have not gotten any energy back yet. Not like me at all.

When I woke up, I decided to go out and water the "new" grass again, and after finishing that I decided to change the Betta's water. I had put the water out yesterday morning, and added the anti-0chlorine drops to it and let it sit, but was too tired to change it yesterday. I did not have any more energy today, but I needed to get the water containers off the counter and the Betta really needed his water changed.

Kathleen asked me what I wanted for dinner, she suggested hash for me and lentil soup for her, I felt more like chili, so she opened up a can and heated it up. I thought that we would need more so I heated up another can and it is a good thing I did because we just about finished up the second bowl of chili.

Well, I am just about brain dead, so I think that I will just say good night.
