Finally Friday

Actually, not eating supper and just going back to sleep was a BIG mistake. I forgot to set the alarm clock and so, on Friday, I was almost an hour late for work. I told my two "cube mates" (Don and James) that from now on when I say "goodnight" their response should be "set your alarm."

I ordered the cable I need for the mower on the Troy-Bilt site. Almost $50 bucks and I won't get it for 14 days (sigh).

It was raining on the way into work and sprinkling at lunchtime. That bummes me out as I'd hope to plant the veggies after work. But, when I changed clothes at 5:15 PM, it was clear and dry. So, I grabbed the first bag of mulch and dumped it into the wheelbarrow and snagged the transfer shovel. I took that out back and used most of it on the garden in Jake's patio.

I put the rest of it on the patio side with the basil. It wasn't enough (of course) so I went and got the other bag (I should have bought three or four bags). I finished up that side and then did the side with the oregano, thyme, parsley and my old standby, the chives. There were occasional raindrops and the rumble of thunder, so I quit at 6:00 PM. Lucky I did as the rain came down right after I put everything away. It's supposed to rain off and on through Saturday, BTW. I hope I can get my raised bed garden planted this weekend.

Back inside, I took two of the grilled pork chops and cut off the fat and bones. I then cubed up the meat and put it in my medium saucepan. I added a large can of Chop Suey vegetables and slowly brought it up to heat. I also used the small saucepan to make a single serving of rice.

When everything was ready, I plated half the rice and half the Chop Suey, covered it with good soy sauce and ate it watching some TV.

Before I went to sleep, I put the rest of my dinner in a container and into the fridge.
