Run Around Day

This morning felt cooler when I got up and after I finished eating breakfast I loaded up the dishwasher and turned it on, then I went outside and picked up apples. I also gathered up more junk and put it into the garbage can.

The weather folks said that we might get some rain this afternoon so I did not bother watering, but found some weeds that were trying to sneak into the gardens so I pulled them and put them into the yard debris container.

As I was putting the weeds into the container I spotted the mailman so I went out front and got the mail from him. Then I went into the house, cleaned up and opened up the mail. About ninety percent of it was junk so I added it to the junk mail pile and then went back into my office and sorted out some more paperwork.

I had a lot of old Boeing things that I had been saving and decided that while I was working there it was a good place to earn a living but I had given Boeing too much of my time already and now was as good a time as any to start getting rid of memories.

Kathleen had taken off to Montavilla Sewing Center to trade her sewing machine for another one. Hers has been in and out of the shop more than she has been able to use it so they finally agreed to give her another one.

While she was gone I went through some of my old paperwork and threw out about twenty pounds of paper. A lot of it was stuff that I had been saving from Boeing and a lot of it was just stuff that I should have thrown out a long time ago.

Anyway Kathleen got home about 1045 and grabbed something to eat so that we could take off for her sleep doctor appointment at 1130 over in Tigard. After her appointment we stopped of at the jewelers where I bought her diamond ring so that she could get it and her wedding band resized. She has lost so much weight that her rings are too big for her.

After we finished there we stopped of at the place where she got her glasses so that they could exchange her frames. Her old ones had some of the rhinestones fall out and they just replaced the old ones with new ones for her.

We got home about 1545 and after bringing her sleep machine into the house I made myself a Boca burger on dark rye toast with an onion slice and melted cheddar cheese. I kind of vegetated the rest of the afternoon. I think that I finally have my computer working close to how it was before it lost it's mind on my a week or so ago.

Tonight for dinner we had cold left over salmon and some deli salad that Kathleen had picked up yesterday at Fred Meyer. The temperature only got up to the mid eighties today which almost seemed cool after the last four days in the upper nineties.

Well my mind is starting to wander, usually a sign that I am getting tired so I think that I am going to publish this and call it a day.
