Wednesday

It was raining yet again when I took the garbage out to the road and then left for work on Tuesday morning.

I didn't get a chance to go home at lunch. They had an urgent need for an all-in-one card reader (even though I'd ordered them three on Monday) so I drove to Best Buy to get it. Nope! They are not an in-store item.

So, I went to the Canton Computer store and got two. I dropped them off and then went to grab a quick lunch at Ten Yen, a Chinese restaurant on Wayne Road that Jake & Carla turned me onto years ago.

Back home after work, I treated the cats (who seemed put out that I hadn't been home for lunch and they missed their morning treats). Then I changed clothes. It had stopped raining so my plan was to finish cutting the side lawn.

But Fate (in the form of a phone call from my daughter Melissa) intervened.

We talked about a lot of things such as her birthday, her birthday "camping" (is it still "camping" if you rent a house?) trip over the weekend, her kids, her grandson, etc., etc., etc.

By the time we hung up it was dark, it was too late to call my Brother Jim (I told him it would be at a "decent" hour) and I was starving!

I warmed up some spaghetti and a meatball (adding in a slug of store-bought pasta sauce) and ate that on the couch. It tasted great, so I went to bed a contented (if somewhat burpy) man.
