Long Day

Kathleen woke me up sometime in the middle of the night when she ripped open the hook and loop closer on her sleep apnea machine, but I went right back to sleep. I also woke up sometime later when the rain started hitting the sky light but again I went back to sleep pretty quickly. I guess that I just got disturbed enough last night that I did not get the best of sleep last night.

So when I got up I made breakfast, coffee, read the paper and unloaded the dishwasher and as I was finishing up Andrea and Brandon pulled up. We were watching Brandon today so that Andrea could get her pre-hospital stuff taken care of, so that Tuesday she just has to show up in the morning.

So from a little after 0900 until around 1130 when Andrea got back we were trying to keep up with Brandon and all his activity. A couple times I would pick him up and hold him in my lap and he would put his head down and just about go to sleep but then something would catch his attention and he would be off and running again.

That boy has too much energy for me, I am sure that is the main reason that most people do not have children at our age. Brandon was chatting with me for a while, I am not sure what he was trying to say or if he was just making sounds, but he sure was having a good time doing it.

As Andrea was getting ready to go I put the half of the cheeseburger and the Yukon fries into the toaster oven and heated them up. Andrea and Kathleen were talking in the driveway so I excused myself so that I could eat while it was still warm as I did not want to toast it again because it would be too dried out.

Then after Kathleen and I caught our breath we took off for Costco and Flooring Depot. We had ordered a bull nose for where the new flooring meets the stairs and it came in yesterday so we stopped by there first. Then we went to Costco as or kitchen TV went belly up the other day, I guess after twelve years it gave all it had to give.

We bought a twenty-two inch Samsung LCDHD TV which is bigger than the old one but it does not take up any more space and the picture is much better. It is similar to my monitor in that they both cam be used for TV or computers only mine has the ability to do both at the same time. I have picture on picture capability on mine and usually while I am on the computer I have the TV on for background noise.

We also picked up several other things and when I checked out it was almost six hundred dollars which shocked me at first but I had forgotten about the TV which was over half the total. When we got home I put the frozen items in the freezer down in the basement so that we could put some of the things we bought into the one upstairs.

Tonight Kathleen reheated the left-overs from Tuesday night and there was just enough left. Before she made dinner she changed the table setting and I set up the new TV. This is one less TV that we will have to replace before next February. We do have boxes for two of the other TV’s but we still have four others that we will either need to replace or get boxes for. Most of them are old enough that a new TV would probably be the best way to go.
