Humpalump Day

(Hey, it’s a cousin of the heffalump from Winnie the Pooh, okay?)

It was a little chilly Wednesday morning, but I eschewed a coat. When I opened the garage door, I got a shock! The dirt that was there last night when I closed the garage door at 7:00 p.m. was gone! WTF?

Just before 7:00 p.m. Tuesday

Just after 7:00 a.m. Wednesday

Did they come in the night? I know they start early over there (I often get behind their trucks while leaving for work). The only thing I can think of is that they scraped it off while I was in the shower this morning. I am pretty sure I would have heard a backhoe (the smallest thing they have) in the driveway, otherwise. Whatever. Thank you, Redford Cement Company!

I sent an email to my friend, Michelle, asking for the recipe of that shrimp jambalaya. Yeah, it was that good.

I walked outside at 10:00 a.m. It wasn’t as warm as yesterday, but the winds had died down.

I went to Time Out for lunch (didn’t feel like driving home) and checked with the barmaid, Christy, on what to order off the “specials” menu. She’s a Foodie, too, and has never steered me wrong. She suggested the chicken club sandwich. I asked about today’s soup “Potato with beef and mushrooms” (it sounded interesting). She made a face, so I demurred.

The sandwich was excellent. But, after I ordered it, she confided in me that she had added cheese and switched out the ranch dressing for Thousand Island.

Next time…

After that, I took a long ride down Hine’s Park Drive, just to chill. Then I went back to work.

I walked outside (again) in the afternoon.

At 5:00 p.m., I headed home. I got stuck in a long line, trying to exit I-96 onto Inkster. They have closed the surface lanes (Schoolcraft) down to one lane in anticipation of shutting down I-96. I give up! I will just use Plymouth Road for the next year…

Back home, I treated Caley, watched the news for the weather (it’s supposed to rain the next couple of days) and then started the Wednesday night wash.

I walked out back to check the rat traps and found nothing had been tripped. I walked around the yard for a while and then reluctantly went back inside.

I ate the rest of the creamy spring pasta for my dinner and then watched TV until bedtime.
