Wednesday's Work

This time, after work, I stopped at Meijer's and picked up the things I'd missed last weekend. I got home after 5:30 PM and put the groceries away. I immediately started tonight's dinner, another tuna salad. I am really getting hooked on these things! Although I know, as a diabetic, both the mayonnaise and the pasta aren't that good for me. On the other hand, most dinner's I make, that cost three times as much, aren't that good for me, either...

First thing after changing clothes, I went out and lay on the garage floor. Why? So I could feel the blades on the lawn mower. As I suspected, NONE of them is properly sharpened and one side of the right-side blade has a big bend in it (like I hit a rock or something, although I know I didn't, as I have no rocks here). I think that explains all the dust I was throwing up last year. Now if I could just figure out how to raise the mower to take them off and either repair or replace the blades...

Next, I made the pasta and steamed the peas for the tuna salad. They both went into the fridge after getting shocked.

Never trusting anything or anybody, I had laid a bunch of paper towel under the newly cleared drains (before putting everything back) and noticed that the one connection leaked a little bit. I tried tightening it yesterday, with no good effect. So, at lunch today, I picked up a new piece of pipe and two connectors (the old one seemed a bit distorted when I removed it). Now, at 7:15 PM, I am replacing the old one and installing the new one. But, since I got everything wet when taking the trap off, I'll have to wait until tomorrow to put down the tell-tale paper towels to see if I fixed it.

I noticed when getting out the hardboiled eggs, I only have two left (just what I needed). But, when I checked, I only have five regular raw eggs left. I should have checked them before grocery shopping tonight! Be that as it may, I made the last of the eggs into hardboiled while I worked on the sink. I guess another shopping trip is on the horizon, sigh...

So, I got the tuna salad made and in the fridge to chill. I went in the living room with my book and read until the new Top Chef show came on. I grabbed a bowl of tuna salad and went in to watch it, then went to sleep afterwards.
