Tuesday and Laundry and Leaves

I woke up very early but had a good night's sleep. I have made my bed, got myself ready for the day, eaten my oatmeal and had my coffee and Chai.

I have even fed the cat and her kittens. Several of them have been by for breakfast and I have filled the bowl three times. I think they are all full now.

It looks like today will be another scorcher. Before it gets too hot, I want to get my trimming done. The battery is fully charged now. It was plugged in all night. I will do that as soon as it gets light out.

Before then, I will do some laundry...mostly underwear and towels. Next week I will change the bed and put the sheets in the laundry. I also got the rest of the yard trimmed and got out the leaf vacuum and cleaned up the leaves again.  I had to take a couple of Aleve afterward. My right shoulder and arm hurt from the weight of that vacuum. I hurt it yesterday after carrying in the groceries I bought at the Independence Walmart store. But it sure beats raking and scooping up the leaves and bagging them. The vacuum mulches the leaves. I will just tough it out. It's only once a week.

More later.....

I got the laundry finished and put away. Nancy came over for awhile this morning just before lunchtime. She brought me some blueberries. I want to make smoothies  out of them. I have a recipe for blueberry smoothies.  It calls for plain yogurt. I went to the Dollar General store and they did not have any plain yogurt so I put it on my grocery list for tomorrow.  I gave her the coffeecake I had saved for her and the Independence Reporter.

I finished eating the cashew chicken for lunch that I brought home from Great China on Sunday. I will have a banana for my supper. I also had some lightly salted nuts earlier.

I will have a kind of big day tomorrow. I will ask Bob is he would like to meet me for breakfast  tomorrow morning at 7:00AM . Then I have my hair appointment at 9:30AM. I will go to the library for awhile and get another couple of books and take back the two I got last week. Then I will go by Stan's office and buy some more batteries for my hearing aid. There is no game day tomorrow in Coffeyville. They had Bingo today and I wasn't going to go to Coffeyville three days in a row. So I will go out to Walmart and get the few things I need and come back home.  I have to go back over there on Thursday anyhow to give blood at 12:00PM and work the rest of the afternoon as an escort. Then Leslie and I will be leaving sometime Friday afternoon for Joplin and later go on to the church campground for our Friday/Saturday retreat. It will be a busy week.

The 15 year old girl and her stepfather came and mowed the yard next door and I gave her Suzanne's check in the envelope when she finished. Now the kids next door are responsible for their own mowing every week.

It is time for my bath and then I will watch another episode of "Murder She Wrote" again before I go on to bed at 9:00PM.
