Tuesday Observations
We have a week’s break from any obligations so today was a “Keep caught up” day. Keeping up with the house has been tested by travel, visitors, all-day commitments and Penny cooking and so far so good. Instead of relaxing before going to bed I’m trying to make a habit of checking that things are caught up. Last night was the worst. Penny made ravioli for the Pre-Cana couple and they left about 8:30. I spent the rest of the evening washing dishes and cleaning up and putting things away. That kind of work really kills my hands so by bedtime they were screaming at me. I didn’t leave anything for today so it worked out well.
Today was laundry day – I missed Monday this week and we were on the road last week so there were 2 weeks worth to do. I got it all done but not all put away yet. As I was hanging up one of Penny’s blouses I noticed the label was Sag Harbor. That always strikes me as funny. What were they thinking with that name? Women don’t like to sag let alone have a harbor for their sags.
On my way to the library I drove past a car wash that was doing pretty good business. The exit driveway, however, passed beneath the telephone and electrical lines where literally hundreds of pigeons were perched. I could just picture a shiny clean car startling the birds as it left the car wash. I know some car washes give rain checks. I wonder if pigeon “rain” qualifies.
Niece Kerry sent me an article about an office workstation that is also a treadmill. She said if her Mom had given me the wireless keyboard that I use on the treadmill sooner maybe I could have gotten rich on the idea.
Tomorrow, Feb 13th, is going to be our Valentine’s Day. I see Harbordocks in my future!
