Monday Moanin’

I got up with the alarm on Monday. It was noticeably warmer. In fact it got up to 47 degrees F. today!

I had to go to Bed, Bath and Beyond at lunchtime, so I stopped at Ten Yen and got the usual. It was excellent, as usual.

I started getting very sleepy in the afternoon (as did everyone else). So, I drank too much coffee. Then I had a revelation! It’s not the caffeine in coffee that keeps you awake. It’s the incessant trips to the bathroom afterwards that does it!

Finally, I was home. I took the half empty trashcan out to the road. Inside, I treated Caley and then I watched or listened to the news while I putzed. I emptied the dishwasher, took more tools out to the garage and so on.

Finally, I was hungry enough to make dinner. I ate leftover shrimp gumbo, again thinned with chicken stock. I am not sure if there was too much roux or too much okra (a natural thickener) but I think I did something wrong!

I watched taped shows until 11:00 p.m. and then went to bed.
