So this morning after finishing breakfast I had enough dishes in the dishwasher that I ran it again. While it was running I went through the coupons and took out the ones that had expired and also the ones that we need to use this week when we go shopping...at least I keep hoping that we get to go shopping as we are running out of some of the meal essentials.
While I was sorting coupons Andrea called and wanted to drop off the Kitchen Aid mixer and a few tamales that she made. She was wondering if Kathleen was up yet, since she had gotten to be around 0430 this morning and it was only 0930 I told her that she was not up yet.
Andrea stopped by after she dropped John off at his shop and dropped off the mixer and tamales and I gave her the mail that had come for her and a couple other things as well. Kathleen had said after she got up that she heard a vehicle starting up and though that I was going somewhere but I told her it was Andrea.
The dishwasher finished and so I emptied it and put the dishes away and read the mail when it arrived. I got some of my medications today and also an update for one of my software programs in the mail today as well as the credit union statement.
After finishing the rest of the mail I got on the computer and reconciled my credit union accounts. I did the saving and my checking accounts and they both came out right on the money the first time. Sometimes I have to go back and recheck it, but I always get them to reconcile.
Kathleen was fixing breakfast for herself and I made myself lunch; it kind of shows how far off our schedules are; I am usually about a meal ahead of her.
After she finished breakfast, she went upstairs and got ready to go meet with one of the women from church. While she was getting ready she said that I could put up the light fixtures in the upstairs bathroom.
She painted the ceiling in the bathroom yesterday and I had been holding off putting them up until she got the ceiling painted. So by the time she left, around 1330, I had two of them up and shortly after she left I finished putting the cover on the light/fan/heater/night light unit.
I then went downstairs and scrubbed the downstairs bathroom sink and then did a little reading. Kathleen came home around 1630 and talked about going grocery shopping; I suggested maybe tomorrow as I was tired enough and did not feel like spending a couple hours in the grocery store.
She asked what to do about dinner and I suggested using the tamales that Andrea brought over and using the left over rice from the other night and opening a can of black beans and mixing it with the rice. She thought that sounded pretty good so that is what we had. She mashed the beans and added some cheddar to the rice bean mix and heated it and the tamales up in the micro-wave.

Kind of a Day of Rest
When I woke up this morning I was not as sore as I was yesterday morning and I was going over the things that I needed or at least wanted to get done today. Yesterday after running the dishwasher I unloaded it and then put in all the dishes in that had been piling up. I had talked to Kathleen about starting it up yesterday morning but she forgot to so I started it up last night and by that time there were quite a few things that did not fit into it.

Just wanted to let you know that Bill's mole was a melanoma. He has to have more surgery in a couple of weeks, but first he has to have a complete workup at the cardiologist.
I am glad the surgery is in a couple of weeks as Mom, Jennifer and I are going down to the Island for a few days next week.
Mom likes to visit with friends down there. Jen and I have front row tickets to see Grease on Broadway for the Wed. matinee.
This way, I will be back to go with Bill when he has the surgery. It is done at the hospital, but I believe they expect him to come home the same day.
Sounds like you really got a lot accomplished yesterday.
Love to all,
Sue
What does Bill have to have done at the cardiologist, or is it a routine check-up?
Where will you stay down on the island and will you have internet access? If you do not I may not do a blog during that time as I mainly try to do it for Mom.
Who is headlining in Grease now? It sounds like a lot of fun, I always enjoyed seeing shows on Broadway but never got to do it all that often.
I did get quite a lot done although the area that I did was not that big; it just all had to be done by hand and close up as there were too many plants that we wanted to keep in the same area.
Bill has an electrical problem with his heart and has had to be rushed to the hospital several times. One time his friends had to rush him to the ER while they were golfing. His condition causes extreme tachycardia. He is on Toprol XL for it. The doctor wants him to have an EKG before he does the surgery.
We always stay at the Residence Inn in Holtsville. Mom likes it there. We have our own kitchen. It is like a home away from home. Jen will bring her laptop, and there are internet stations in the lobby. Don't feel obligated to post if you don't have time. Mom does enjoy reading about what you are doing, but it is ok to take a break for a few days if you want!
Last year, everyone at work was watching a TV show called "You're the One That I Want." Young men and women were auditioning on TV for the leads in Grease. From the very beginning, I picked Laura and Max as my favorites. They were both underdogs, as Laura is a brunette, and Max does not look like the "Leader of the Pack." Amazingly, they both won. I ordered these tickets back in December. That is how I was able to get front row center seats. I am so excited!!!
Mom is up now, so I have to get her breakfast fixed. I forgot to print off your blog earlier when I posted the first time. Have a great day and don't work too hard!
