Friday's Follies

When I got up this morning Kathleen told me that I did not look very rested, so I responded and asked her when the last time I did look rested when I got up...she could not answer that. So I guess that I look about the same as I normally do, only now it seems like it takes me an hour or so of being up before I actually look like I should be up.

After breakfast and reading the paper, I was going to take my six foot ladder over to Aaron and Tami's for them to use while siding, but I felt so poorly that when I told Kathleen what I was going to do, she wanted to know if she could go along as well. So I said if I load the ladder into the SUV she could just take it over there herself as I really did not feel all that well.

She took off about 0900 and did not return until about 1630... of course she did a lot of shopping along the way. She visited with the grandchildren for quite a while, but she also spent a lot of time looking for more clothes.

Anyway, while she was gone I worked out in the yard most of the time. I edged the front of the front of the front lawn and along the driveway. Then I mowed the front lawn, the neighbor’s driveway strip on the other side of the driveway and the neighbor’s front lawn.

Then I took a short rest and had the rest of my blueberry smoothie, and then went back outside to edge along the back sidewalk. After doing about two thirds of it, I could feel myself getting really tired, so I decided to stop and mow the back yard.

By the time I finished the back yard I was really tired and hungry, so I sautéed a couple zucchini and a couple slices of onion. I decided to use the zucchini as they were starting to get a little soft and I knew that they would not last much longer. It tasted really good, and while the zucchini and onion were cooking, I noshed on a couple celery stalks.

Shortly after I finished eating, Andrea and Brandon came over on their way to the grocery store. We visited for quite a while and then Kathleen came home from her shopping spree. They left to finish their shopping about 1830, so they were here for quite a while.

Tonight for dinner I heated up the salmon and rice pilaf and Kathleen had the rest of her salad. My salmon and rice were almost as good as they were last night, but I am afraid the Kathleen's salad was just not the same.

Well, I am really tired tonight, so I think that I will just say good night.
