Tuesday's Tale

It was uncomfortably hot and muggy on Tuesday. I didn’t go home at lunch; instead I went to Lowe’s. On the way there, I stopped at the Newburgh Grille (I’m back in my old stomping grounds) and had an excellent cup of bean and ham soup and a mini Greek salad.

I bought two replacement mower blades at Lowe's. I was surprised at the price ($48 bucks!) I could swear the last time I needed to buy them I paid less than $30.

On the way home after work, I stopped at Domino’s pizza and picked up a pie I’d ordered. They have a deal for a large three topping pizza (carryout only) on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday for $7.99. I have been meaning to try it and this way I won’t have to heat up the house cooking dinner.

So, when I got home, I treated the cats, grabbed a beer and ate three slices watching the news. It was good (I ordered pepperoni, mushroom and yellow banana slices, BTW).

I emptied and then refilled the dishwasher and ran another load. I also had to put the bedspread in the washer, thanks to one of the cats. Then, I went out into the steamy garage and replaced the damaged mower blade.

I waited as long as I could (8:00 PM) and then went out back and cut the grass. It was still 92 degrees F., though. I finished up around 9:00, and watered the unplanted plants. Then I buttoned up the house.

Lu called and told me all about her adventures white-water rafting and zip-lining in West Virginia. Sounds like she had a great time!

I ate another slice of pizza (cold this time) and started reading my book. I fell asleep before 11:00 PM. When I woke up for a bathroom call, I shut my book, shut off the light and went to bed for real.
