Sunday's Story

When I woke up at 6:00 AM to go to the bathroom, it was 4 degrees outside! I don’t think the furnace shut off at all, all night long. I can’t WAIT to see my gas bill for this month.

I went back to bed.

I woke up around 8:00 AM, ground some beans and made a pot of coffee. Note: I couldn’t find any of my favorite coffee beans (Eight O’Clock 100% Columbine) so I grabbed a small bag of Kroger Columbine beans.

I posted the Blog entry while I drank a cup of coffee. Hmmm... not bad. According to my thermometer, it’s 10 degrees outside. I was going to make some home-made cinnamon rolls, but decided to pass. It’s too much work for just one person.

I watched the Sunday morning new shows and then got off my butt. Okay, no cinnamon rolls, but I do need to eat. So, I trimmed up the last of the thawed ham and warmed it in butter. Then I added some milk (I have milk again!) to three eggs and made an omelet. I added some American cheese to the top (no apologies here! If you want ooey, gooey cheese its American or Velveeta). But, no green onions, dammit!

I ate that watching the Sunday morning cooking shows.

Then I got to work on my electrical problems. I did manage to get the GFI working. But I couldn’t get the last plug under the counter to work. I can only assume there’s a break in the line somewhere. I quit about 5:00 PM.

Which means I missed my Brother Carl’s surprise birthday party in Sterling Heights (I only heard about this last Thursday – my invite got lost in the mail). Hopefully, since he has a “Push-matic” fuse box as well, he will understand. Happy Birthday, Bro!

I was too damn tired to try and make that Buffalo Chicken Salad, so I warmed up a can of Hormell Chili. And I ate that watching my normal Sunday night shows. Then I went to bed.
