What happened to Monday?

This morning when I got up it was still dark even with setting the clock back over the weekend, but I could tell that it had been raining during the night. When the sunlight finally came through it had stopped raining but everything was still soaking wet.

After eating I went outside and took the recycling and garbage out I decided that I would try to see if I could rake the leaves from the front lawn, but Stan came by to see how the drywall folks did over the weekend. He was very pleased as were we.

Stan had another job to finish up today so he took off; Kathleen also needed to go to the hospital to pick up Hayden for Alyssa. Alyssa had to get to the hospital early this morning for Zander's surgery and took Hayden with her as Natalie had spent the night with a friend.

Eliud, the guy who owns the company that did the drywalling stopped by to check up on the work and I asked him if he would like to get paid. He said that he would, so I asked for a bill and when he gave it to me it was about four hundred dollars less than his estimate which was a nice surprise.

After he left I went out and raked the front lawn, the leaves were so much heavier than they were just a few days ago, that is one reason I wanted to get as much raking done before the rain started.

Kathleen came home with Hayden a little while after that and Hayden was asleep; so she put him on the sofa and he slept there for a couple hours. I guess all the early morning rushing around took its toll on him as well.

I heated up some left-overs and finished them off so that now there is more room in the refrigerator. After awhile my throat started getting sore so I went upstairs and took a nap for a couple hours.

I just got up a little bit ago and do not feel much better. We are suppose to be going to our small group tonight, but the way I feel I doubt that I will be going.

Well, I made myself something to eat because Kathleen had not gotten home yet; she called while I was eating and asked me to call the people whose house we were meeting at and tell them that we would be late, so I did.

She just left and since I do not feel any better I stayed home. I could not find her camera to download the pictures from the hospital so maybe tomorrow.
