Rainy Days and Thursdays...

It was hot and muggy Thursday. There are supposed to be wicked thunderstorms beginning around midnight and lasting into Friday. The lawn and gardens need the rain, I suppose...

I went straight home at lunchtime to check my garden seed stash. It's time to plant radishes. But, when I checked, I have no radish seed packs! So, I left for work a little early and swung by Home Depot to pick up a couple.

At 4:55 PM, James left to start his car (he has remote start and believes a car has to warm up before you drive off in it. I personally think - no, I KNOW - that's an urban myth from the 1950's). Anyway, he came back to report it was starting to rain. Crap! I have my windows cracked and the moon roof open!

So, I grabbed my stuff and headed home. The seat was a little damp, but not as bad as he made it sound. I didn't even have to use the wipers.

At home, I treated the cats, grabbed some implements of garden destruction and one pack of radishes and headed out to the raised bed garden. I worked up the soil where the leaf lettuce used to be, marked off a row and planted the radish seeds. With tonight's rain, I should be getting a crop of them is 4 to 6 weeks. I will probably still have enough Summer/Fall left to get one more crop in (along with the next batch of sugar snap peas I will plant mid-August).

I put everything away and then devoted an hour to the "missing glasses" hunt. I misplaced my newest pair of glasses about a week ago and CANNOT find them. I do that a lot (I have to take them off to read and I often fall asleep with them on, watching TV). When I couldn't find them, I got out my older pair (which I swear is no different) and wore them to find the new ones. Then I wore them to work. Now I am still wearing them.

So, tonight, I pulled out the bed and the two night stands (nothing) then the dresser (nothing). Then I tore the couch apart (nothing) and moved it out into the middle of the living room to check underneath (nothing). I checked the loveseat, the recliner, the office, both bathroom and the kitchen counters (nothing). WTF happened to that pair of glasses?

I sat on the couch as a gentle rain watered my yard. The phone rang and I had a good conversation with my friend B___. We talked about the economy, choices for the next governor, etc. As you can imagine, this took a while.

When we hung up, I went and made tuna and peas for dinner. To satisfy my brother Carl (and my Mother's ghost) I put them on toast, rather than egg noodles.

I watched some TV, but went to bed early.
