Thursday and Apartment Cleaning

I slept fitfully again last night but got enough sleep I guess. I tried to keep my right arm laying on a pillow. That sometimes helps. I was up at 5:30AM, dressed and got myself ready for the day and had my oatmeal and coffee. I will have my chai later.

I hope Bob gets his diagnosis today. I think it's deplorable that his doctor has made him wait all this time. He had the MRI on Monday. The technician said the doctor would have the results that afternoon. If he has a mass on his kidney, what else could it be but bad news. I am hoping the doctor is trying to get a second opinion from a specialist.

I will clean the apartment today...my regular cleaning day. I will wait until after the news to start though.

I see three cats out there eating their breakfast. One is Big Yellow Tom and the other one is the younger yellow cat. There was one of the gray cats out there too but I believe they chased it off. There are three dishes out there and the cats are all related so they should share.

More later...

I see mama cat is out there eating now. It's a good thing I didn't bring the bowls in.

The Tulsa news is on TV now. The CBS news doesn't come on until 8:00AM. It's only 7:15AM now.So I will get back to this later...

I watched most of the CBS news before I turned it off and scrubbed my entry way, kitchen and bathroom floors. I will vacuum later. I have been weeding in my little flower bed in front and am tired. All that stooping and pulling the weeds has worn me out for awhile..I did get the trimming finished yesterday evening so the yard looks as nice as it can with all the neighbor's wet leaves pasted on it over at the west side. I should go out and rake some of them up but I am tired now...maybe later...

I did go out and rake up about a six foot area of wet leaves that were plastered to the ground. I took my black leaf holder bag out there and picked up all I had raked up and also rolled my trash container out there and stuck the bag in it and then rolled it back into the garage. Now I am exhausted. There is about a fourteen foot area that still needs to be raked and bagged but I am not going to do it today. It is supposed to rain tomorrow so it will be awhile until they will be dry enough for me to do that area. After they dry, I may try to mow that area and some of those leaves will be sucked into the mower bag and I may be able to dump them into the black leaf bag. That may be awhile.. I am either terribly out of shape or it's the mileage...I don't know which. It may be a combination of them.

It's almost 11:10AM now and I am getting hungry. I want to wait until noon to eat so I won't get so hungry in the late afternoon. I have finally finished off my strawberries and that is what I have been having in the evening while I read. I wish I had some bananas. They have not had the food pantry this week at all..That's where I usually get my fruit. I didn't think of bananas when I was at the Coffeyville Walmart yesterday morning.

Maybe this afternoon I will be rested up enough to vacuum the apartment. We will see. I like to clean the apartment weekly and also do at least one load of laundry every week.

More later...

I drove up to Independence to get some things at their Walmart that I couldn't get yesterday at Coffeyville. The bananas were the most important thing.

I thought about dropping by the kids and seeing the puppies but I had on white jeans and I knew they would want to jump up on me. So I will do that later. I may go ahead and vacuum now. I seem to have recuperated since this morning.

So more even later....

I got the living room, hall and bedroom done and then my back started hurting me again. I will do the dining room and den tomorrow. I have nothing else on the agenda for Friday.

It's time for the 4:00PM news anyhow so I will go rest and watch that.

More later...

Suzanne came and picked up the Journals. She gets them weekly and enjoys reading them.I am glad she can use them.

I will take my bath soon and put my pjs on and robe.  I intend to go to bed at 9:00PM.
