Another Big Monday

Today should be huge at work. The Interstate Fair and Rodeo is going on and the town is full of people here for that event. I dread the Monday and Thursday long days.  I would love to just work 12:00 until 4:00.  But if I did that, I would have to work Fridays and I enjoy my long weekends. So, working is really a compromise I have to make if I want to pay off my car early. Scott is discontinuing  my allotment at my insistence. He has a tax bill to pay before he retires from the army.  He will need that $200.

Marilyn sent me home some of her chicken casserole and some of her pumpkin cake and we will have it tomorrow evening. I had planned on Hamburgers and French fries and baked beans tonight and have the hamburger thawing now.  Bob brought the buns over yesterday.  I have my menus planned for the week again.  It is always so much easier to buy groceries when I do that.

I am tumbling Missy's white throw in the fresh air of the dryer right now. She gets so much cat hair on everything if I don't keep that throw clean.  The house is clean and the laundry is caught up. I do need to go out and water the flowers in the containers in the front.

I want to stop at the Natural Food Store today and buy some pecans. They have the fresh crop and they are so much cheaper to buy in bulk.  I bake quite a bit and use them in my coffee cake and cookies.

More later....

I came home exhausted. I worked the entire day by myself. I was very busy and had very little opportunity to sit down. I got home about 4:25 and started dinner immediately.  We had the hamburgers and french fries and the rest of the ice cream I had made a few days ago.

We watched TV until 7:30 when Bob went home and I took my bath and went to bed.
