Windy Wednesday

I went in to my half-day work on Wednesday. It was wicked cold with a strong wind again, but at least we didn't get the 1-2 inches of snow they had forecast. We just got a light dusting here.

I left work at 11:00 AM and drove over to the Human Resources building to drop off my Cobra payment. Since Facilities is in the same building, I went upstairs and gave Michelle her container back. I was glad she spoke up first and cleared up my confusion.

If you remember, she just left it on my desk, with a voicemail telling me to enjoy it. It tasted good, but I never had turkey soup with beans in it. Anyway, when I handed the container back to her, she said "How did you like the turkey chili?" Then I understood the beans...

I headed for home and got there about noon. It was too early for today's mail, but I picked up yesterday's mail. I treated the cats and then changed clothes.

I was hungry, so I used some of the leftover roast beef to make a sandwich for my lunch.

I gave Lu a call to see how they were doing and she asked if I could call back in a while. She was in the middle of making two pans of lasagna (one meat, one veggie) to take over to Sadie's daughter's house, tonight.

So, I set the stovetop timer for 30 minutes and lay down. Unfortunately, I fell asleep and called her back in an hour or so. Sounds like everybody is doing fine down there. They, too, have just had their January thaw but are now back to their version of winter (lows just below freezing but highs in the 50's!)

When we hung up, I cleaned the kitchen counter. While it was drying I suited up and headed out for today's mail. Again, it was really not worth the effort. But I did get a magazine so I heated up a cup of coffee and sat on the couch (fireplace on) and read it from front to back. About half way through, I had to turn the end table light on.

I warmed up the pot roast and veggies for my dinner and ate that again (I used horseradish on the meat). It still tasted good!

I watched TV the rest of the night. I suppose it was the nap, but I managed to stay awake until 1:00 AM. I think both cats appreciated me finally turning off the noise and light and going to sleep.
