I couldn’t get to sleep last night so I came downstairs and turned on the television. I don’t remember what was on. Danny came down after a few minutes and laid on my lap. I went back up and fell asleep but was groggy in the morning. I took Danny out for his walk but after he did his business, he turned around and headed for home. I cooked ham and eggs for me and gave some to Danny.
It’s Saturday, a day for chores. I cut the grass and did four loads of wash. I went Blockbuster and complained about the blue screen. He apologized and offered to give me another Pirates of the Caribbean movie but I had watched it and didn’t want to see it again. He said some player are extreme sensitive to fingerprints and the slightest thing could cause the screen to go blue. I got a movie “George and the Dragon.”
I was going to go to K-Mart but saw the Acme had the potting soil and got it there. I did my grocery shopping while I was there. When I got home, I put the groceries away and started working on the molding in the living room. The molding over what I’ll call an archway, though it not an arch, its rectangular, has a large gap between it and the ceiling. I got a quarter round molding to fill in the gap. I mitered the ends and had the hardest time getting the angle correct. I was running out of wood but finally got it. I may have to fill in the end with some spackle or wood filler but it should come out fine when I paint it. I’ll nail it in place tomorrow.
I took the timer off the hose in the back and brought it in to figure out how to set the time for it to water the flowers. I got that done and went to fix the other hose I use to fill the bird bath and water the grass. It took one length of the hose off because the connection leaked. I put the attachment I use to fill the bird bath and the connection squirted all over me and everything else. I went to take the attachment off and end that screws in broke off inside the snap on connection. Now, I’ll have to cut the end off the hose and put a new end on it. It seems I never run out of projects to do.
I felt sad when 3:00 came. Ted and I used to get ready and go to Ocean City. It would have been a good day to go. We used to go almost every Saturday. It wouldn’t be the same to go by myself and I can’t take Danny Boy. Dogs are not allowed on the beach or Boardwalk. Bummer. It would be fun to take him to the beach and walk him on the Boardwalk. Wouldn’t he have fun barking at all the people? I thought about walking him at Parvin State Park but the place is full of ticks. He has tick repellent but I don’t.
I ironed some of my clothes for the week. I did the ones on the hot setting and tomorrow, I’ll finish with the cool setting. I needed the hot setting for the blouse I’ll be wearing to church tomorrow.
I’ll be walking Danny in a few minutes.
