Miserable Monday

I slept in longer than I thought that I should have this morning and had a slight headache so I got up but still felt tired. When I went to log on to my computer I did not have internet connections so I fiddled with the cable modem turning it off and on again several times and still nothing, so I vacuumed the downstairs. Then I went and got the paper and read it.

After I finished reading the paper I checked my computer and it was on-line so I am not really sure what was going on, but was just glad that it was working. Once I knew that the computers were on-line again I went and made myself breakfast.

After eating I went out and raked the front lawn since the wind had died down. I think that the wind yesterday must have carried most of the fallen leaves into the next county because there were not all that many on the lawn.

While I was raking I noticed that the grass was getting a little long so I got out my electric reel mower and set it at its lowest setting and mowed the front lawn. By this time Stan had gotten here so I helped him unload his truck and then finished the front lawn.

Then I went and raked the back yard and mowed it after I finished raking. After putting the mower away and the battery on the charger I went into the house cleaned up and then gathered up the towels and started the washer up. Kathleen was downstairs and so I went up and took the bedding off our bed and brought it downstairs to put into the washer when the towels finished.

Somewhere along the line of coming downstairs I did not duck enough and hit my head on the downstairs doorway and I must have tagged myself harder than I had originally though as my head really started to hurt.

I finally folded the towels and put the bedding into the dryer and then read the mail. After I finished the mail the dryer had stopped so I took the bedding back upstairs and made the bed. By this time my head was really hurting and my stomach felt like I was going to get sick so went to bed and slept for about three hours.

My head did not feel much better when I got up but my stomach felt better. When I got back downstairs Kathleen put some ice in the ice bag and that helped to numb the pain to some degree but it still hurt. Part of it was a sinus headache and part of it was from hitting my head.

Kathleen had made a pot roast for dinner and while I had some I was so miserable that I did not really enjoy it. After dinner Kathleen took off for our small group gathering; I stayed home because of my head.

Well, it still hurts so I think I will just close this out for tonight.
