Monday and Laundry

I slept pretty well for about an hour last night and then I woke up at 10:00PM with that hacking cough I had a month ago.  I finally got up and got those Zinc Gluconate Glycine lozenges I used to take to shorten the duration of a cold. That's what I took last month and it worked to stop the cough. I moved into the recliner in the living room until the lozenge melted and the cough stopped and then I went back to bed. From then on I slept very well. I think what starts that cough is sinus drainage.

Anyhow later I was up at 5:30AM and got myself ready for the day. I will start my breakfast and coffee in a minute. I have the laundry going now. It's Martin Luther King Day now and I don't know what all will be open. I was hoping to go down to the Copan Truck Stop and have their small chef salad for my lunch today. I will check it out later and see if they are open.

I have my breakfast ready now and will check on the cats after I eat and turn on the TV for the "weather on the 8's". I see the desktop computer says it's 26 degrees outside and clear.

Both cats were out there and were very hungry. I took their food out to them and Blondie finished first and left. Scruff is still out there. She has eaten but she must find a little warmth from around the storm door because she is huddled there. 

 Now back to the CBS news.

I have watched the CBS news and dried and folded and put away the laundry. I also washed my breakfast dishes and put those dishes away.

I guess I will get back to my latest book. I have had enough of the TV for now. It is 8:05 now.

It's 9:45AM now and I have been reading in my latest book. I am out of puzzles and there's nothing on TV. It's 32 degrees and sunny outside. I hope Copan Truck Stop is open today. I am tired of  frozen meals. Of course, lunch time is a couple of hours away.

I drove down to Copan and the truck stop was open so I had my usual...a small chef salad. It is very good...and healthy...a lot healthier then  a frozen meal...I am sure.

The sun is shining brightly. I have been cooped up in the house for so long that would  love to go somewhere but it's a holiday and I doubt anything much would be open so I may just go back to my book.

More later....

I read for awhile but I am bored to death. Unfortunately the kids are in guarantee so they can't have company and I don't know of another thing to do. 

I have balanced my checkbook and that is fine...it balanced.

But I am bored to death. Tomorrow I will go visit Nancy in Bartlesville but today I am tired of reading and don't have any new puzzles. I may just go up to Independence for something to do.There is probably nothing open up there...not even WalMart. 

I did drive up to Independence to the Dairy Queen and bought myself a Blizzard. Then I drove back home.

When I got home both cats were waiting for me for their supper so I fed them and when they were finished I put their double bowl back in the garage.

At 6:30PM, I took my bath and put my pj's on. I had watched the CBS evening news and then read until bed time and will read this evening until I am ready  to go to bed. 

I see by the desktop computer that it is 43degrees and clear. It's supposed to be nice tomorrow.
