Strange Sunday

I got to sleep in this morning until almost 0700, because I was not going to take a walk this morning and I did not need very much time to get ready for church. So when I did get up I made myself some dark rye toast and had it with Adam's peanut butter and Smucker's apricot all fruit. I even read the comics and since Kathleen had not gotten up by 0800, I decided that I would just get dressed and go to church myself.

Kathleen had forgotten to take some of her pills last night and so when I went to bed at 2300, she went downstairs and got something to eat so that she could take her pills. I fell asleep around 2330 and had no idea what time she made it to bed.

When I got home around 1130 she was up and had made herself some oatmeal for breakfast. She had left about a spoon full so I ate it and put her dishes into the dishwasher and then went upstairs and changed my clothes.

Then I went downstairs and made myself a cup of coffee and went into the living room and finished reading the paper. Finally around 1330 I reheated the spaghetti from last night and had that for my lunch. Then I sat down and watched some football for a while.

About 1430, I decided that I needed to go for a walk; it had just started to drizzle, so I put on a hat and headed out. I had kind of decided that I would walk around the middle school for a while and see if I could get it cleaned up as well, besides, I kind of needed a change of scenery.

Boy, the middle school was in worse shape than the high school was. I picked up five bags of trash and only stopped because I was getting tired and when I saw how much there was I decided that I would just concentrate on the bigger items.

I think that I managed to walk all around the back of the middle school, I think I must have picked up sixty or seventy water or drink bottles along with several cans of soda and beer. I think a lot of the drink bottles must have been there for a while as many of them looked like they had been mowed and were in pieces. I think that the next time I do the middle school I will have to do the front and the far back side of the track.

I really did not get as wet from the drizzle as I did from the sweat from picking up all that trash. On man with about four children stopped me and asked me how long I had been picking up the trash, and I told him that this was my first visit to the middle school but I had been doing the high school for almost a month.

Well, tonight Kathleen made stuffed flank steak, noodles and fresh green beans for dinner. I cannot remember the last time she fixed flank steak, but I do remember my Mother fixing it on a regular basis.

Well, I am tired today, it must be the change in weather this week; we went from 95 degrees on Monday to the mid 60's today. I cannot think of anything else to write about so I am just going to say good night.
