We put our heads together (so we might add up to being a half-wit) before the day really gets started!
It’s Friday, and we have zero plans for the day. Mary knocked out the bills online in the office, and I went to the kitchen and fixed a magnificent breakfast—so magnificent the smoke alarm stood up and applauded. What did we have, you might ask?
- Steak
- Eggs over easy
- Pear halves
- Yogurt
- Protein drink
- English muffins, and
- Fresh-squeezed orange juice.
After breakfast, it was almost 10:00 am, so Mary hit the showers, and I cleaned up the kitchen while listening to good music thanks to Alexa. It’s only 26 seconds long, but it will bring back memories!
After Mary came back, she claimed the TV/living room and entered full “do not disturb unless the house is on fire” mode. Meanwhile, I went outside to perform my heroic duties: patrolling the watering systems to make sure they were all functioning and not secretly plotting against the yard.
It got a little cool, so I absolutely did not fix the roses—because apparently my dedication to horticulture ends at “requires a jacket”- But don’t worry: the rose watering sprinklers have been notified. Tomorrow, they get fixed.
In the late afternoon, I went to Jeff’s house and picked two bags of citrus, oranges, and palm leaves. I also went inside and got his copy of QST so I can change the mailing address.
I peeked into the fridge and realized I’ll probably have to do some last-minute cleaning right before the trash guys show up next Friday morning. There was milk in there, dated in Roman numerals—at that point, it’s not “expired”; it’s an archaeological find—time to toss it.
Robin came by around 5:00 pm and joined us for dinner. We went toYang-Ming and had a super dinner. Returning home, we watched the movie about Medgar Evers and then The American President.
Around 10:30 pm, before going to bed, I watched a few YouTube videos about cooking steak! I am now ready for some serious meals!!
At 10:30 pm, the three of us crashed!
Tomorrow, we will be getting ready for Colleen’s arrival. Her post on Facebook reminded us!
