Slacker Sunday

I had every intention of dealing with my several ToDo list items (finish the garbage disposal installation, plant the veggie garden, cut the grass, clean the house, etc.) but again I slept lousy Saturday night and woke up late as a result.

What woke me up was a phone call from my buddy B___. We caught each other up and then talked about the weather. He thinks we had about two days of Spring, more rain and then last week was two days of late Summer (Highs in the 90’s) and now we are in Fall (I had to turn the AC off and the heat on late Saturday night – the house was too damn cold!) He may be right!

I fixed a cup of instant coffee and sat on the couch, still in my robe, and read more of my book. Then the phone rang again.

This time it was my daughter Melissa. We talked for a long time, mostly about their upcoming visit to the cottage in Lake Orion. I guess I will have to take a day off in order to visit and see all the kids.

When we completed our call, I was tired again so I went back to bed. I finally got some sleep and woke up at an amazing 6:00 PM! I shaved, showered and got dressed. I was more hungry than anxious to complete the ToDo list, so I fired up the charcoal chimney. I was using the new grille for the first time. When the coals were ready, I slapped down five ears of corn I had soaking all day.

When they were done, I pulled them off and put down a T-Bone steak I’d seasoned with just Montreal steak seasoning. I grilled that until medium-rare. Back inside, I plated the steak and an ear of corn, buttered and salted. The corn was a little tough, but the steak was perfect.

I ate that watching a movie, but when it was done, so was I. So, I switched to reading my book until I fell asleep.
