Fog, again...

Monday

There was dense fog again, but we are supposed to break the record for high temperature today. It might have even been worse than the one on Saturday, but I didn’t go out in that fog. Today I had to drive to work. I took the surface streets so I could go slower.

I went home at lunch to meet with the home-care nurse. BTW, that was the first time I went into the house through the front door when I wasn't in a hurry going to or from a doctors, trying not to fall, and accompanied by somebody. I was embarrased at how much debris had ended up on my porch from the winter. So, I was doubly embarrased when she showed up.

She took care of changing my dressing and connectors, etc, while we chatted about the weather. She had to work all weekend so didn't get much chance to enjoy it.


Work went by fast in the afternoon and people were saying goodbye before I realized it was after 5:00 PM!

Back home, I was using the bathroom and looked out the window to check on things out back when I was struck (yet again) on how dirty it was. So, I grabbed the Windex and washed the inside. I stayed as straight as I could and had to go slow, but I “got ‘er done!” The outside is still a mess, but the inside now sparkles.

I opened (not easy) some of the windows to let in the Spring air.

Then I went out in the garage and hefted my leaf blower. It's electric and not that heavy. So, I ran an extension cord outside and shut the garage door (so I wouldn't blow the crap inside the garage). Then I went outside and cleaned off the porch of sticks, leaves, black walnut shells (the squirrels love to eat the nuts on the porch chairs, just to annoy the cats), dirt, etc. I did the garage apron as well. It looked 100% better!

Sidebar to Jake: I didn't see any sign of your leaf blower in the garage, BTW. You must have it down there.

I reheated the corned beef dinner instead of making my Rueben (it tasted so good on Sunday I wanted to try it again). It wasn’t as great as the first time, but it was still damn tasty!

I closed the windows and watched a little TV. Then I switched to the Red Wings game. When we were down 3-0, I grabbed a book and watched the game haphazardly. When we were still down 4-1, I shut it off in disgust.

I fell asleep reading about 10:30 PM. When I woke up for a bathroom break, I shut off the light and went to bed for real.
