Monday's Madness

I had a good five mile walk to start out my day. Although after walking a block I was ready to turn around as my back was killing me. Every step literately brought tears to my eyes it hurt that much, but the stubborn German in me would not let me quit, so I kept going.

Finally after about a mile of walking, I could take steps without excruciation pain and by the time I finished I felt much better than when I started. I picked up some more trash at the high school, not nearly as much as I had been, but I was surprised at how much there was considering that this is a long weekend with no sporting contest at the fields or no school so I would not have thought that there would have been much traffic around the school.

Anyway, when I got home I made myself some toast and spread peanut butter and all fruit on it. I do not normally have toast any longer, but I did not have any cereal, other than Kathleen's puffed rice. After I finished eating I read the paper and then went outside and dug up some tree suckers, blackberry plants and some nightshade. I also pruned the roses and then used the pick ax to break up the ground where I am going to plant the clematis and put up the trellis arch.

Then I went inside, cleaned up and asked Kathleen if she wanted to go with me when I went to feed Aaron and Tami's animals. She said that she would also like to stop at Wal-Mart, so we took off around1400.

Archie was glad to see me; I play fetch with him and try to wear him out a little. I also brought some pepperoni dog treats for him and try to get him to sit before I give it to him. He usually sits right away, but he has a hard time staying in the sit position...he always wants to be on the move.

Every day he has had about an inch of water left and every day his food is always all gone. I would have thought that he would have been drinking more water, but that has not been the case.

Jasmine only ate about half of what I gave her yesterday, I guess that I thought that she would eat more, but now that I am thinking about it I had to let her in the first day so she probably was a little hungrier.

I can not remember the name of their lop ear, but it did not need any food or water today, I filled up its water bottle yesterday and it was still a little more than half full. There was also plenty of food and since Aaron, Tami and the girls are due back today, I thought that it would probably be okay.

We finally got back from Wal-Mart about 1630, we did a little grocery shopping while we where there. I got some shredded wheat and some Cheerios, we also got some produce as we were all out of fruit. I splurged and got a couple packs of Johnsonville brots and rolls, I do not usually eat them, but once in a while I have a hungering for them and nothing else will fill the bill.

Kathleen was hungry when we got home; I was about ready to eat anything I could get my hands on, so we fixed dinner about 1700. We have been eating closer to 1900, so it was a little early, but since neither one of us had eaten lunch, we felt it was better to eat dinner now and then if we get hungry later have a snack.

Kathleen also bought a couple brownie mixes and so she made a batch of brownies while we ate dinner. She brought a plateful in for me, but I was full enough that I told her that I would have then a little later. Well, I am not sure where the day, or for that matter the summer has gone. Alyssa had invited us to her house today, but we just had too many things to do and ran out of time.

Well, I fell asleep during HGTV’s Design Star last night, and then I slept in past 0700 this morning, but I have been tired all day. I think the other day when I hurt my back, has been sapping my energy. So I thin that I will just say good night and call it a day!
