A Boring Saturday...

I woke up at 5:30 AM on Saturday. This is supposed to be the warmest day for the next week or so, but they say that the wind will negate the 40 degrees temperatures.

I lounged around, sorting out books to take to the Goodwill, eating breakfast, etc. Finally, around 8:30 AM, I shaved and showered .

Then I headed out for my weekend errands. First, I filled up my gas tank at the cheapest station I could find. Then I went to Westborn to get some apples (Galas as the Honey Crisp are now out of season), some more lemons, garlic, shallots and, as an impulse buy, a New York strip steak and some sweet corn (from who knows where). I figured since it was supposed to be in the upper 40’s (despite the wind) I might grill one last time.

It was funny as, the last time I was there, they had sold out all the boxes of chicken stock (the checkout lady said everyone was making soup). They still had not been restocked, so I reluctantly bought two boxes of chicken broth (to reconstitute my Greek soup).

Then I went to Home Depot and bought a motion detection porch light. It really ticked me off as it requires four 25-watt candelabra base bulbs.  I use, but do not like, the CFL bulbs everywhere I can the house.

My last stop was PetSmart, for kitty litter.

I went home and  added a box of chicken broth to the soup. Then I ate that for lunch after talking with Jake. Next I took a nap.

I woke up too late to grill (probably for the best). So, I installed the new porch light in the gathering gloom of twilight.

It works, but too well! It keeps going on all the time. I think the flag blowing around is setting it off. There are some covers you can install strategically to block certain areas, so I will try that tomorrow in the daylight.

I talked to B___ for a while and we caught each other up.

I decided to keep the steak for Sunday supper, so I made a frozen pizza instead. I added some cooked bacon, banana pepper rings and extra mozzarella cheese to it before I baked it.

I watched some taped DIY shows until bedtime.
