Slow on Sunday

I woke up at 6:30 AM on Sunday. It's exactly 40 degrees F. outside. I put on my slippers and my thin robe and went out to warm up a cup of coffee in the kitchen.

I posted the Blog and, as always, prayed to the patron saint of Blogs (whoever he/she is) that I didn't forget anything. It's really hard to remember EVERYTHING, you know!

I shaved and showered and then thought about breakfast. I decided to use up the rest of the shredded Pepper Jack cheese, so I made a three egg omelet. Mighty tasty!

I started a load of laundry and then got dressed. I have grocery shopping and errands to run. I headed out at 10:30 AM. I stopped at Office Depot for a ream of 24 pound inkjet printer paper, and then hit Meijer's. Meijer's was a mad house. I'll post my observations separately, but suffice it to say I didn't get out of there until almost noon. Perishable meat, dairy items, and a full bladder, all screamed at me to take them home first before continuing my quest. So, I did (whew! That was close!)

On the road again (oh, yeah, it's always been me and Willy!) I went up to Gordon Foods to get some pistachios (it's a long story). Then I stopped at Chaps Feed store for birdseed and suet cakes (I ran out Friday night). Next, it was Kroger's for their sale items and the stuff I guess I can now no longer get at Meijer's. Finally, I hit Westborn Market for the next two week's worth of veggies, mushrooms and herbs. I got home before 2:00 PM.

I unloaded the car and put everything away. The cats immediately hit me up for more treats, although I explained that, when I came home to use the bathroom and put the Meijer's perishables away and gave them those treats, that was it for the day. No, they ain't buying it. If I go away, close the garage door and then come back, raise the garage door, somehow I owe them treats. I tried explaining the circumstances but finally gave up and just gave them some more damn cat treats!

I took the 40 pounds of birdseed and a suet cake outside, refilled both feeders and then watered the new grass seed out back. Back inside, I put the towels in the dryer and added the last load of clothes for the weekend.

With the car trip yesterday and all the walking around today, my legs were hurting me so I decided to take a nap. So, I lay down but my daughter Melissa called before I fell asleep. We talked and talked and talked...

When we finally hung up, it was too late to take a nap. I decided making dinner seemed like too much work so I settled for some hunter sausage, a hunk of cheese and a beer.

I watched the first of my Sunday shows, but let the other one tape and went to bed at 9:00 PM.
