Working Wednesday

Another nice sunny day! When I got home, I left the car in the driveway, so I could spread my big tarp out on the garage floor. Once I got it flat, (no mean feat) I used the push broom to sweep off the dust and dried leaves, etc., then flipped it over and swept the other side. Then I folded it up (again, a pain in the butt). Finally, I pulled the car in.

I gave the cats their treats, checked the mail and phone, started the Wednesday night wash load and then switched my shoes and was about to go back outside when the phone rang. It was my daughter Melissa. It was a short conversation this time.

So, I went out to the ditch with the garden rake and started digging out all the gravel. I just threw it into the road, BTW. It took a l-o-n-g time, but I got most of the big stuff up. I may have to hire the street urchins again this year to get the rest. But, the ditch is done and ready for grass seed where the old mailbox post was.

I went back inside, cleaned up and changed clothes. I put the clothes in the washer in the dryer and set the timer on the stove. I tried Luanne again and this time I got through. She really enjoyed Riese and Jeremy's visit and filled me in on all the details.

After hanging up, I hung up the clothes. I heated up a hot dog and ate that with some tuna salad. I watched taped TV until 10:00 PM, and then watched Top Chef (taping the Wednesday night boxing). I went to sleep exactly at 11:00.
