Monday and Laundry

 I need to do some laundry this morning. I am out of underwear and the towels need to be washed too. I slept well again last night and was up at 5:00AM and had my breakfast and coffee. I will need to bake my cake for the First Christian Church in Independence on Tuesday.I reminded Phyllis and Karan about it yesterday but they both had it on their calendars. I will pick those up about 9:00AM and take theirs and mine up after that.

I don't think I need anything from the Independence Walmart tomorrow except green bananas and I can get them here at the Caney Market on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I am trying to buy as much as possible here and support that market. 

I put the green bananas in a green plastic bag I have along with a  paper towel and press as much of the air out of it as possible and then seal the bag with a tie. The banana's peels may get dark but the bananas inside them will be perfect for eating. Just to insure that, I leave them in the flimsy plastic bag I put them in at the market too and put the entire thing in the green plastic  bag. They will be perfect for a week that way.

I want to go watch the weather and see if any cats have come for breakfast this morning. So I will get back to this later.  

The only cat that came for breakfast was Blondie. Inky is usually with him but not this morning. I think these cats may be catching birds and that is why they are not tempted with cat food. Either that, or someone else is feeding them too. I put the four bowls out anyhow...just in case.

The weather is coming on now..50% chance of rain this morning.  And once again, it looks like rain most of the week. I am ready for sunshine. I really need to mow again but when I can do that is anyone's guess.

More later... 

I got my cake baked and iced this morning and it's in the truck of my car now until tomorrow. I will leave Caney about 8:00AM in the morning and pick up Karan's cake first and then Phyllis' last before I leave for Independence. 

I fed Blondie but he didn't seem very hungry. None of the other cats ever came to eat. I fear they have been eating birds because I see lots of starlings and some cowbirds too.

I had a frozen dinner for lunch and soon afterward the new mattress cover I ordered from Amazon was delivered.

I read all morning and finished my latest book. 

More later...

I worked on my puzzle another couple of hours and then read the rest of the afternoon. It's 4:52PM now and I have just had my banana for supper. 

I will work on this blog until the CBS news comes on at 5:50PM. I haven't been anywhere today at all. 

I did receive my new mattress cover in the mail but have not put it on yet. I got my laundry finished and put away. It has been a relatively uneventful day....boring really!

I haven't been to the market yet. I may just wait now until tomorrow. 

As a matter of fact, I went on to the market as soon as the CBS news was over. I bought the four things I went after and put them away when I got home. I called Nancy then but, of course, she never answered. I didn't bother trying again. I knew she wouldn't answer.

Later I backed the car out of the garage and got out my blower and blew the dirt out of the garage and off the driveway. If it doesn't rain tomorrow, I will wash my car. It has been at least a week since it's been clean. I also want to vacuum it out.  After it gets nicer I will shampoo the carpets again. I do that every spring.  This is the only car I expect to have and I want to keep it as nice as I can. It has 122,000 miles on it and it will be nine years old this fall.

After I got my groceries put away, I read for quite awhile and then watched the CBS news and then took my bath at 7:00PM.  I will read until my bedtime which I assume will be at or around 9:00PM.  I want to be up early tomorrow. I may strip the bed in the morning and put the new mattress cover on it and then just remake it again with the same clean sheets. I want to leave for Coffeyville at 8:00AM.
