I was a little tired and sore when I got home, but other than that I felt pretty good. So I made myself my egg beater omelet with onion and mushroom and ham and had a couple slices of dark rye toast to go along with it. After putting my dishes into the dishwasher, I went into the living room and read the paper.
When I finished the paper, the mail had not arrived yet so I went outside and pulled weeds, dug up tree suckers and pruned the roses. After I was out there for a while Kathleen brought out a couple demi-cups coffee and we sat out under the cherry trees at our new table and chairs and had a mid morning break.
After finishing the coffee, I decided that I would go to work some more on the ivy under the fir trees and see if I could finish that job. I got almost done, probably another hour or so and I should have it done. Of course, I will have to keep working on the sprouts that keep coming up from the roots that broke off, but at least the majority of the work is done.
I will still have to do the east side of the garage, and a little bit along the roses by the driveway, but that should not be too hard...I hope! I went into the house and got a 1.5 pint bottle of water out of the refrigerator and drank it while I cooled off.
I perspire so much that I have to drink a lot of fluids to stay hydrated, and my preferred drink is usually water. I think that so far today I have had at least 64 ounces of water and I will probably have another 24 ounces before the day is over.
I cleaned up and then made myself some lunch, I cooked a basil pizza veggie burger in a couple halves of pita bread, and I also had a couple slices of egg plant and a dill pickle along with twenty four ounces of water.
After sitting and relaxing for a while I took a cold shower to clean up and cool down, it helped cool off for a while, but I am still pretty warm feeling.
I went upstairs to put my dirty clothes in the hamper and Kathleen could not believe how sweaty I was, so I had to remind her that on Monday at the doctor's I was sitting on the table in my birthday suit and she was dress and I was the one who was hot and she was the one who was freezing.
Even in the middle of winter, I am usually running around bare footed in my shorts and a tee shirt and she is all bundled up...she is cold and I am roasting. I use to attribute it to a high metabolism, but I am not sure that is true any longer, I think that my metabolism has all but shut down.
Anyway, I am planning on meeting with the group of guys that I have been meeting with for ten or so years tonight, so I hope that I am still feeling okay to go. It seems like I have missed getting together with them more often than I have met with them lately.
With that said, I am going to say good night now, as I am pretty sure that I will be too tired to do this after I get back tonight.
