Monday, Monday…



Okay, so the weather sucked on Monday. Not nearly as bad as the folks who got hit by tornadoes. But it was windy and raw outside.

I took in the rest of the rhubarb dump cake. Everybody who tried it liked it.

It started to sprinkle just before noon. I went to Best Buy and then hit the Harbor Freight outlet. I decided I needed a ramp for the truck and “thought” I remembered them as costing, like, $50.00 US.

Well, you can get them as cheap as $69.00, but they have BIG holes in them. The ones I would want (solid flooring) cost $150.00! So, I left.

I stopped at a Wendy’s and got their much-talked about fish sandwich. I was told it would be a five minute wait and sat off to the side until they brought me my order out.

I took it back to work and ate it in the remaining minutes of my lunch hour.  Personal observation: Way better than the typical fast food fish sandwich, but nothing I would order again.

At the end of the day, there was still about 1/4 left in the baking dish, so I offered the remaining rhubarb dump cake to Vicky for her Mother and family.

The wind and rain had really picked up before I left for home. So, I rocked (and rolled) down Plymouth road. I got home just after 5:30 p.m.

When I pulled in, the first thing I saw was my forsythia wreath on the ground. The next thing I saw was one of the ornamental bird feeders (from the porch rail) on the lawn!

As I said, the wind was fierce!  So, I replaced the wreath and bird feeder and then went into the house.

Note to self: Secure the bird feeders with the porch railing when it stops raining.

I rolled the trashcan to the road, figuring better tonight than in the stronger storms predicted for tomorrow morning.

Once inside, I treated Caley, changed clothes and turned on the news. At 7:00 p.m. I took up some stuff into the attic and then started dusting in the living room. I finished that and then vacuumed.

I called my friend B___ to ask him a question. We chatted for a bit. Once we hung up, I warmed up more brats and sauerkraut for dinner.

After eating, I watched one taped TV show and then switched to reading until an early bedtime.
