Monday Memorial Day

It's the holiday but it's the same old thing to me. If Everett and Tricia and Norma hadn't come it would not even seem like a holiday.

I slept fairly well last night. I woke up at  1:30AM with the pain in my arm. I finally took two Aleve and put some topical pain reliever on the shoulder and got back to sleep until 5:00AM. Then I got up and dressed and got myself ready for the day.

I have had my oatmeal and coffee and have fed two of the yellow cats. I have even eaten a breakfast bar too.  The cats ate quickly and left to find shelter. It is raining lightly this morning. I am so glad Krystal's daughter came and mowed for me yesterday afternoon late. I got most of the trimming done too except for the back yard. When it finally dries up next weekend I will get that finished. It is supposed to rain all week and we are under flood warnings over at Coffeyville. The Verdigris river tends to flood when it rains a lot like this.

I don't have a plan for today.  Except I will vacuum the bedroom and wash the bare floors later this morning after the news is over. I am waiting for the "Weather on the 8's" to come on the weather channel.  Then I will change the channel to channel 6 for the Tulsa news.

Big Yellow Tom just came so I put the food back out for him. So far I haven't seen Scruffy Gray Cat today. And it's been a long time since I have seen mama cat and the only gray cat I have seen is scruffy.

There is a 90% chance of rain today.  In fact every day this week until Saturday... rain is forecast.

More later...the news is now on.

My daughter, Leslie called this morning and we had a time to chat. She has had an horrendous week with 14 hour days.  She was today off, thank goodness! I think she said  she only had to work one day this week. That will be a welcome relief.

Well, back to the news. It's time for the CBS news now.

I have the floors washed..the foyer, kitchen, and bathroom. I will wait to vacuum the bedroom until after the CBS news is over.

More..... after the vacuuming.

I vacuumed the bedroom and halls. Also I have emptied the vacuum cleaner and washed the filters. They are supposed to dry for 24 hours before I put them back in the vacuum sweeper. I have just laid them out on the rim of the sink until they are dry. Tomorrow, when I am ready to vacuum the living room, I will reassemble everything .

The plants are outdoors and I have watered them. So far..no rain. It rained a little last night and sprinkled a little this morning but it's 10:40AM and so far...no rain. Sometimes I wonder what an exact science weather forecasting is. They seem to miss it as much as they forecast it correctly. But it may rain yet. It's early.

It's almost 11:00AM and I am hungry. I have had my oatmeal and a breakfast bar and a slice of Suzanne's banana nut bread and it's a little early for lunch. I'll see if I can wait it out.

More later....

At 11:30AM I went out to Sonic and got the Kids' Wacky Pack. That's two chicken strips, an order of tater tots, and a tiny coke. That's their May special for $1.99.  On my way back home, it began to rain a little Now it has stopped again.  Just enough rain to spot up my clean car..oh well!!

I guess I will go back to the book I don't like. I bought it but I don't like the plot. That's the problem with buying a book without having the opportunity to look through it. That's why I prefer the library but our library isn't open yet.

More later....
 I finished the book and i didn't like it at all. I certainly didn't like the ending. I took my bath at 7:00PM and tried to watch TV but Travis spent the evening tracking a storm. He likes to dominate the entire evening when there's any kind of weather at all. I am going to bed at 9:00PM
