Wild & Wacky Weekend Weather

This weekend's weather was really wacky; it covered the spectrum from sunny and calm, rainy and windy, windy and hail, snow, thunder & lightning and almost every other combination that one could think of. The temperatures were also really unseasonably cool; I think that the temperatures only got unto the low fifties at the highest.

Needless to say I did not get a lot done although I did manage to work out in the yard a little bit Saturday in between storms. I mostly did some light weeding as the soil is nice and loose and the weeds come out rather easily.

I managed to wash, dry, fold and put away a load of laundry and a load of dishes. The dishes I only loaded into the washer, took them out when they were done and put them away...I did not fold them!

Sunday I managed to get up and go to church; taking all that Tylenol is at least allowing me to wake up in the morning without a lot of pain and that makes it easier to want to go. I was pretty sore afterwards from sitting so long, but after I got home I took some more Tylenol and was able to function...somewhat.

Kathleen did some sanding with my random orbital sander and I think the sawdust messed up my head as I was coughing most of the afternoon and evening. I still am coughing from the drainage but it is not quite as bad as it was yesterday.

Today I spent the morning killing ants and then dumping everything out of our knife and odd utensils draw. I then washed the four trays and the draw itself as I could not remember the last time it had gotten a good cleaning. Once I had the trays and draw cleaned and dried I started to put everything back into the draw again.

This afternoon I spent some time whacking away at the hedge on the east side of the front lawn. It had gotten higher than I wanted it to be and it was hard for me to keep it trimmed. I got about half of it cut and raked up and I hope to finish it tomorrow.

I also thought about mowing the lawn, but the grass did not really dry out early enough. If the weather were going to be like it has the last few days I probably would have tried to mow it, but the weather folks say that it is suppose to be dry for the next week or so.

When I got back into the house and cleaned up I made myself a herring sandwich on dark rye for a late lunch. Then I went into the living room and fell asleep in my chair. For some reason I have been waking up around five o'clock in the morning and I have not been able to get back to sleep so I just wind up getting up after trying to get back to sleep.
