Weekend Fun

I certainly hope this doesn't become the norm.  Saturday is supposed to be a day devoted to chores that take more than five minutes.  Today was definitely one of those.  I should learn not to procrastinate and then expect to catch up on all of them at once.

Day started with preparing to send a small package and talking with Jean (we had a very nice chat).  As soon as she hung up, however, a horn honked in the drive.  It was 9 AM, I had not had a drop of coffee, and it was time for the "daily walk" with my neighbors.  We went.  It rained (actually a heavy mist).  We finished at 9:45 AM.

I changed and went into the big town of Findlay.  Stopped at the post office and discussed box rental with the head person.  Then I went to the local dive, the Sunrise Cafe and had breakfast.  Home by 11:05.

The phone rang again (the second or third person since I hung up with my sister).  It was Ellen Kay.  We talked until 12:25 (no surprise there).  Wide ranging discussion.

Then time to get to the chores.  First, finished cleaning carpets (guest room, hall, and bedroom).  Cleaned two chairs in the living room.  The tackled the basement and got to use my "new" mop and bucket with the "mop squeezing" attachment.  Swept floor, vacuumed up the dead bugs, cut some of the out of use wires, rearranged stuff, mopped, and quit. 

Back upstairs and finished cleaning guest room.  Moved to the bedroom and hung clothes that were washed a couple days ago.  Cleared off the dresser.  Bach aching.

Oh yes, in between called Buns for her birthday and caught up on the Gerber side.  The talked with Don (twice - once at 7 and once at 8).  Finally, sat with an "adult beverage," left overs and a call to Mom.  Guess my legs and back are tired (wonder why?).  Couch has my name on it.  One more day before I start being paid for my efforts.
