Again woke up at 5:00 (did that on Saturday, too). Tried to go back to sleep - no dice. Got up and went to the computer - YIKES - no service. Turned on the TV - no cable! Called the 24 hour cable hot line. Tech had me try this and that, but nothing came of it. He said, it must be your house, because nobdy else in Redford had called... (Damn! That means I hve to take off work for the repairman!) Just then he said, wait a minute, now I'm getting calls from all over Redford. Something must have happened. Well, good, I don't have cable or internet, but I don't have to take off work, either.
Started out by cleaning up the white dust in the oven and using a brillo pad on the gunk stuck to the oven door. Then made two eggs over easy, three strips of bacon and sourdough toast for breakfast. After breakfast, shaved and showered. Then I started my weekly cleaning ritual (normally done on Saturday, but had vistitors so only got the kitchen floor swept yesterday). So vaccummed, dusted, washed the kitchen, bathrooms and downstairs floors, etc., etc., etc. Some time during all this, the cable came back on.
When it got 40 degrees F, I went outside and began to rake the front lawn (has all kinds of winter debris on it: sticks, pine cones, black walnut shells, etc. Noticed the daffodils are about an inch out of the ground. Got about a third of the yard raked when my back started to protest. I know better than to ignore that, so I quit.
Reheated the linguini with clam sauce I'd made for Friday night's dinner for my lunch (still tasted great!) Laid down and watched a movie (hoping to take a nap, but never fell asleep). Got up at 4:30 and tried to do more raking before I had to quit again (now its about 1/2 done). Came in and posted this, and that's me, up to date!
