Hump Day and the Weatherman Lied!

Wednesday morning, it was cold and still raining. But the weatherman on the 6:00 AM news said it would stop by noon. Before I left for work, I taped a sign on my garage door and put a cone in the driveway, so the mulch delivery guys would know where to dump it. I already told the girl on the phone where I wanted it, but I worry…

Michelle from Facilities came by to drop off my soup container. This time it was filled with a soup her husband made. She didn’t remember the name of it but said it was an Olive Garden knockoff. I hope its Italian Wedding Soup. I love that stuff, but have never tried to make it. I did take my morning walk outside, but I didn’t like it.

At lunchtime, I drove home in heavy wet snow!!! I guess I didn’t understand all the possible ramifications of “it will stop raining.” I stopped at Home Depot and bought some landscape fabric. I couldn’t believe how miserable it was being outside at the end of April!!! I dropped it off at home and ate my last two brats for lunch.

I walked inside during the afternoon. Screw it!

I drove home in light rain (the snow was gone). When I got there, there was a mountain of mulch in the drive (and all of it in the right place). Good Lord, that’s a lot of mulch!

I took a couple of pictures for you and then went inside. I watched the news (cursing at the weatherman although he’s a different guy at night) until everything ended at 7:00 PM. While I was watching, I first brushed Caley, who put up with it for a bit and then jumped off the bed. Then I brushed Scruffy, talking softly to him to keep him calm. I was impressed with his demeanor until he whirled around and gashed my left hand with his teeth (well, one slash and two puncture wounds). It took a long time (and a lot of Band-Aids) after I washed my hand with peroxide to get it to stop bleeding. See photos. Next time, I’ll use welding gloves!

Then I painted the living room wall. This time I used a roller instead of the brush I used for the primer. Even though the sun had come out (a little late there, Mr. Sun!), I turned on all the lights to make sure I got everything covered.

It was well past 8:00 PM when I finished and then cleaned up. So, I just warmed up the last of the slow cooker lasagna (I’m running out of leftovers!) and made two more thick slices of garlic bread. I ate that after joining the hockey game which was already in progress. We won again! I celebrated by going to bed.
