Wednesday, Waking Up

I got home late as I had a few errands to run. Coming down my road, I saw the thawing of late has resulted in large pools of water, both on the approach to the new mailbox and in front of the old. And, it still freezes at night, here. So, before I shut the garage door, I got my hoe and dug channels from the puddles to the ditch. I've done this before and I know that it won't be long before the channels fill up with silt, but I gotta at least try and dry out my piece of road.

Then, before I took off my shoes (much to the disgust of the cats, who were looking for their treats) I walked out back and refilled the suet cage and the bird feeder. Then, finally, the cats got their treats and all was right in my house.

I checked the caller ID and saw an old friend had called today. Long (l-o-n-g) time readers may remember George. George is an older black man who misdials the number of his lady friend and gets my house instead. It used to happen all the time, back when Jake and Carla lived here, but had diminished of late. Come to think of it, Jake and/or Carla might actually remember, but I "think" his lady friend's name was Bessy. Anyway, when I would answer, he was always apologetic and I always told him it was no trouble at all. But, this time, he didn't leave a message, just hung up, I guess. But, it's good to know you're still around, George! When you gonna make Bessie an honest woman?

I changed my clothes and then emptied the dishwasher. I am taping (or trying to tape - I tried yesterday, but something screwed up, lol) an Extreme Makeover, Home Edition for Sadie and Luanne, the one that took place in Farmville, Virginia. I told her I would mail them the DVD.

Dinner? You guessed it! Leftovers, again! I gotta use them up!!!

I watched a taped episode of No Reservations (occasionally dozing), then the season premier of Top Chef on Bravo. Finally, I went to sleep.
