A Saturday in the life
Well it was Saturday. I have all day, all day to me..... me, me, me. There's a ton of things that need done, Garden, Clear the fence, put in flood lights, bathroom lights, and hall way lights. Then fix the computer, do the dishes, laundry, go for a walk, and many other tasks.
I woke up at 10 a.m. Yep time to get going the yard awaits. First let's see how my MFP friends are doing. Lets not forget FaceBook, Linked-In and email. That would be bad. Okay everyone is fine and moving around. Mom sent a dozen emails. Well there's singing birds, delete, Old age jokes (Those hurt) delete. Funny faces, now gone.
Alright it is really time to hit the yard. You know I need a diet cola. That's the ticket to face the yard. Out I go. I get back about 11:45 a.m. Has anything changed on FB, LI, and email. Nope pretty much the same. What about that recipe I need to make Spinach and Pear Salad. Oh yeah, have to find that. Surfing we go. 12:05 I hear the rusty squeak of the mail box being opened and closed. My first paycheck after going permanent? Please Lord say it's so. I peak and there she is. Okay bath time and to the bank. 20 minutes later I'm on the road and the bank closes at 1:00 p.m. I make it with time to spare. You know these old shoes are killing my feet. I stop at a shoe store, problem solved.
On my way back home. Now I'm really really going to work in the yard and garden. What's on the internet. It must be surfed. Check a few things and am satisfied the world is pretty much as I left it. Now to the yard. I drag out the trim trimmer stuff.
First I try sawing a little limb this is hard. So I move to a big limb. This is slow. The saw sticks and sticks and sticks. I feel this! My arms are getting rubbery here. Okay enough with the saw. Let's prune. I prune the brush high and prune it low. Soon I can see my fence but wow what a pile of brush. After about an hour of that I say that's what I wanted to accomplish on that and am thinking about moving to the garden.
It's getting late. I really want that walk. I forgo the garden and head to a walking path in a small town close to hear. I get there and say my reward will be a chocolate dipped ice cream cone. After about hour and a half I'm done and wow am I tired. Time for that ice cream cone. Nope, can't. Doing some calorie burning estimates in my head I didn't burn enough. I drive past the DQ. But then there's a Hardees. Okay maybe a small shake. I get the shake and gulp it down.
Must charge on. I get a 30% discount on groceries this week and this is the last day. I head to the store. Also I promised Mom I would pick up some things for her. What didn't I want! Get about 15 minutes and had gas. It's not gas!!! Mother of God, I run to the restroom. Whew! No one there. Continue my shopping and see some sandwich thins. Mom loves Sandwich thins. I'll get her some for Mother's Day. Probably not the perfect Mother's day gift. Hmmm I think I know why my wife left me.
I look in the cart and say I'm going to hate myself at the check out. I get to the checkout and proclaim my 30% discount. Sorry sir you need to have the flyer. Yikes, well it's at work and that is only a mile away. I ask if they would honor it after the purchase. Indeed they would. I run to work and then realize I needed my FOB which is at home to get into the office. Okay not a problem. I drive home grab 4 bags of groceries, take them in the house, and put them away. Another run to the restroom and fast run too. Back to the jeep with my FOB. Get to work and right there on the counter are the flyers with the UPC code.
Get to the office and there's a line. Ugh, it's almost 10 p.m. Finally get my discount and humbly apologize to the office manager.
Arrive home and it's dark. The lights have burned out on the garage. Grab a few more bags of groceries and tell myself I can't take that. Grab the step ladder and pull out some bulbs for the flood lights and put them in. Apparently if one goes they both go out. I replace one and the other comes to life. Back to the house with the step ladder. Since I have it I might as well replace the light in the hallway and bathroom. That gets done. I check my beautiful new lights and realize a tree limb is blocking one of the lights. Forget that, can fix that tomorrow.
Now back to the groceries. Only about 7 bags to put away. Finally get those put away and think I need some clean clothes to take Mom out to dinner. In the washer they go. I have to hang those rascals up because my dryer quit. Sheesh!
It's now way past 10 pm and I had a wonderful supper planned. Was thinking of Stuffed peppers, Spinach and pear salad, and fruit salad. Maybe even mashed potatoes if I dare. Not going to happen. This fat boy is beat. It's a yogurt night.
Time for bed!
