Weary Wednesday

Ever wonder how I come up with such fantastic titles for my posts? Ya, me too.

So it’s Wednesday. That’s weigh in. 158.4 lbs. I gained four pounds in a week. F***. Must be camping I guess, which makes no sense. Maybe back to normal this week and I can lose it. I am not happy.

I did something incredibly important this morning. I got up and put out the garbage. I forgot last week, I usually put the cans out Tuesday pm. But last week, not at all. Which makes this week even more important. It’s been well over 100 every day the past week and garbage starts to smell like, well, garbage. Maybe riper than that. At the very least, the cans are in the road. I also have more to go out to the can once the cans are empty too. Garbage is a somewhat onerous task. My driveway is 100 feet to the street so it can be a hassle. Especially in a windy rainstorm during winter. Right now it is just a stinky chore. I admit, though, it is a very satisfying task and gives a measure of job well done to me when I finish. Been taking out the garbage since I was 8, same year I took over lawn duties. So next year is the 50th anniversary of lawn and garbage. Send gifts to my home address. Make sure they are expensive.

All morning tasks are done, for those of you worried I forgot the dogs or cats or people that live here. I didn’t. I have just been updating my posts. A quick review shows me I should spend more time on proofing before I publish. Maybe I should turn off spellcheck. Or is that like the famous Karl Wallenda working without a net? I don’t know. I would use a net.

I am trying to contact my real estate agent, Linda. She must be busy because I am not getting any text response. I may go hunt her down.

I just made a latte for Cissie. Guess what? I steamed the milk and it looked weird. So I tasted it. Bad milk. Nasty bad. Not sure how I am going to get the flavor out of my mouth. I made her an Americano instead and used a little almond milk creamer instead. That keeps forever.

Linda still not responding, even to phone calls. I guess she may actually have work to do that does not involve me. I thought I was her only client.

I am going to go mow the lawn. It’s extra long since I was camping on my usual mow day. So, I have to empty the grass catcher more often. I have close to two acres of lawn to mow. That’s a lot of mowing and dumping. I have never really liked doing it. My son, the supposed heir apparent, has severe allergies to grass. So I never had the satisfaction of dumping the duties on him. Anyhow, I did get a text from a friend that it looked good. Whatever. After this long mowing the lawn I already know it’s gonna look good.

Finished the lawn and got a call from Linda the agent. I will need to schedule a day to see all these properties. She said Saturday. I will discuss with Emily this evening.

I went upstairs and cleared several hundred emails off the home email address. Responded to a few and also made a couple phone calls as well. Sometimes an email requires a more detailed response, more than just another email. Anyhow, got a few confirms and the like so I’m glad I finally got to it.

I am going to go to Vacaville now and run a few errands. By the time I get back I hope to have dinner ready to cook. And by errands I mean I have to go to BevMo and restock. That’s important. And Lowes for a replacement smoke alarm. That’s not as important, but necessary.

When I got home Emily was home from work. We went back to Vacaville to get Jaxons Rx dog food. I was right there earlier but did not have the scrip to get medicated dog food. So it was two trips which is somewhat wasteful.

We are headed home now to fix dinner. Grilled Romaine salad. Should be ultra fabulous.

Ok. BBQ is going, just waiting for the coals. . That’s the Weber I hate. I own a Big Green Egg, worlds best BBQ. But its in storage awaiting our move out of here. So I am stuck with the Weber. You just can’t control the temp on it. I am spoiled by my Egg because it will BBQ, smoke, bake, everything. Just better.

Coals are ready and salad stuff is chopped. I did not get meat defrosted enough and had to resort to a microwave. The hard boiled eggs aren’t yet either.

Emily went to lay down. She is all of a sudden not feeling well. Anything to get out of making dinner. Lol. But I do have to come up with a recipe for grilled romaine salad recipe and make it. I can probably handle it. I have been trained. Poorly. Hopefully a masterpiece is coming out way.

Tastes as great as it looks. I did a fantastic job on dinner and it was enjoyed by all, that would be me and Emily. All the people here who count. Cissie you are not here.

After dinner I went to the market to get milk. As you may recall from yesterday, I made a latte with spoiled milk. I did not know it was spoiled until I steamed the milk. It was gross. So for today I now have fresh milk and no complaints

Emily was already in bed when I got home. She was not feeling well this evening and neeed to lie down.

I cleaned up and went to bed as well.
