Tuesday and Wednesday

I overslept on Thursday and decided to post the Wednesday Blog entry at work. That’s when I discovered I’d not posted Tuesday’s entry! So, its sitting there at home, all written out, but I’m here...

So, I’ll try to recreate it.

~ Tuesday

I went and spent a small fortune at Jos. A Banks at lunchtime. I think I mentioned I have a wedding to go to and all my long-sleeve shirts are old. So, I got two new shirts, two ties and a leather belt.

Back at home after work, I got out the blower and blew all the leaves out from under the two trailers in the back yard. Then I got out the lawn tractor and cut the lawn/mulched the leaves.

I had an idea to use up the rest of the roast beef by making beef and barley soup. I made it my usual way, except since I wasn’t searing the beef and simmering it in six cups of water; I added four cups of beef broth and two of water.

That’s where I went wrong! Instead of tasting the hearty barley flavor, all you tasted was beef! Not “bad” but not good!

I watched TV until late as I have tomorrow off.

~ Wednesday

Wednesday I woke up late and forgot to post the Blog entry. I made eggs and ham for breakfast. Believe it or not, Scruffy (who never eats people food except for milk) loved the honey-baked ham rinds I put down for Caley!

I'd planned on a trip to the Westland Mall and Lowe's but decided to do it next week instead. I mostly rested up and did small stuff (fill the bird feeder, put out the first suet cakes, etc.) and interspersed that with watching TV. I ate a small green salad for lunch.

I was going to cut the front lawn when it got warmer, but when I went out to get the mail, it was raining.

I talked to my friend B___ and my daughter Melissa. I had another bowl of the soup for dinner, but still didn’t like it.

I went to bed at 10:00 PM and had trouble falling asleep.
