Almost a Perfect Day

I awoke early this morning and did not get to do back to sleep so finally about 0545 I got up. It was a really nice looking morning out and not overcast like it has been the last few days.

Then this morning for breakfast I went outside and got a couple dozen blueberries to put on my shredded wheat and Cheerios. After finishing my morning coffee I picked up my dishes and put them into the dishwasher.

Then I gathered up the recycling paper and cardboard and put it into the new recycling container outside and then picked up twenty gallons of apples. I think that between the squirrels and birds just about all of the apples have been chewed on to some degree. Every once in a while I seen raccoons up in the tree as well, so it is kind of like a mini wild kingdom.

After picking up apples I decided to go back and work on the garden area that I did not get planted and de-weed it. While I was at it I spent some time weeding around the raspberries. That area was not as bad as it has been in years past but some of the weeds were getting pretty tall.

Since I was working both in the sun and in the shade I was not sure how long I had been exposed to the sun, so I stopped and put my tools away and then went into the house and cleaned up. The mail had come while I was outside so I went and got it and put it on the kitchen table so that I could go through it and the paper while I ate lunch.

For lunch I heated up the rest of that Trader Joe's shepherd's pie and an English muffin. There were more catalogs than anything else in the mail today for some reason; almost all of them said that this might be my last catalog if I did not order anything. Funny thing is that I did not ask for most of them in the first place.

After recycling the junk mail and putting my lunch dishes into the dishwasher I went into my office to see if I could figure out what was wrong with it; I spent most of the afternoon trying to get things back to "normal" to no avail. It is a little better and it is usable to some degree but not as friendly as I had it before and I still need to get it working better but I am too tired to worry about it now.

My leg kept cramping up on my while I was working on the computer and I kept having to get up and walk around to work the cramp out. Finally I gave up and went into the living room and sat in my chair and put my feet up on the ottoman. Of course when I did that it did not take too long for me to fall asleep. All that I remember is that I was watching the Reilly Factor and when I woke up Hannity and Colmes was on.

Today was a great day as far as I was concerned, the temperature was in the high seventies or low eighties and was sunny just about all day. Well, it is after 1900, I have not heard from Kathleen for a while and I am guessing that she is sleeping so I think that I will make myself something to eat for dinner. With that said I am going to call it a night.
