A Slight Saturday Story

I did go back to sleep but didn't sleep until noon. I slept until after 9:00 AM which is WAY late for me! But, it was still below freezing outside. So, sitting on the couch with a cup of steaming coffee and a blanket, I made the executive decision to postpone grocery shopping until Sunday morning. Hey, "Saturday Morning Over Easy" is on!

When I noticed the cats were both in the living room, I stripped the bed and started the weekend wash. Then I rinsed the few dishes left in the sink and started the dishwasher. It sounded like I was working my butt off, but it's just the machines. My butt was comfortably back on the couch...

Since I didn't shop, I can't make the Saturday dinner I'd planned. So, around 3:00 PM (when I was finally hungry), I warmed up a can of Hormel chili and topped it with a package of oyster crackers. I was in the bedroom by then, having remade the bed. I was watching the taped Saturday morning cooking shows. The sheets, blanket and bedspread smelled so good, I fell asleep and took an hour nap.

Since my five library books are due today, I thought it was my duty to read the last one before taking them back one day late... I tried, God knows I tried! But, a TV show came on I wanted to watch before I finished. So, I gave it up (I'll take it out again sometime).

When I became hungry again, I went with comfort food (the leftovers are all gone, you see) and made the blue box of mac & cheese. With all the sleep I've had (and, admittedly, the lack of productivity today), I stayed up until after 1:00 AM, then I finally went to bed.
