A Different Kind of Day

Well I got a good eight hours sleep last night and when I woke up it looked like it was a lot earlier than it really was. It was really overcast this morning and it never burnt off; the weather man had said that it was suppose to rain today, but I did not see it. I could see things looked a little damp outside but if it precipitated at all today it was not much.

It was so dreary out this morning that instead of having my normal Egg Beaters I decided to have some hot cereal instead. Before I started cooking it I took the kitchen vegetable scraps and put them into the composter and then I picked up apples. There were not as many apples as there have been so that was nice; and after picking up the apples I picked a couple handfuls of blueberries to have as a pre-breakfast snack.

After I got back into the house I emptied the dishwasher as my cereal was cooking and then I read the paper as I finished my coffee. Since this was garbage day I took the bag out to the can that I had brought to the front yesterday so that we would have a full can for them to pick up.

After coming back into the house I decided that since it was suppose to rain today I probably would be better off working inside today so I went into my office and started going through the bookcases on the walls and the small bookcase that I had just moved Sunday. I am now using it to house the shoes that I keep downstairs; like my walking shoes and most of my Birkenstock's.

I even cleaned off the extra desk and now I can actually use it to sort things out on. I got rid of a lot of my old Boeing memorabilia, stuff that I had held onto just because I wanted to keep them as mementoes of about a third of my life.

A lot of what I got rid of was just paper, old catalogs or brochures that I had picked up at some time. I sorted out my computer programs, disks and manuals and got rid of several disks and manuals of equipment or programs that we no longer had.

Other than a lunch break I worked on my office about seven hours, I do not feel too tired but then I did not do anything that took a lot of energy either. Kathleen was tired so I made myself some dinner and then cleaned up my kitchen mess. Well since it is 2000 I think that I will call it a day, so good night!
