Even Though I’m Sick

Saturday is not a day of rest. And I’m still sick. And I’m not resting.

Emily went to yoga this morning. Hot yoga. I am really uninterested in hot yoga. My old financial planner had a heart attack and died during a hot yoga session. No yoga for me.

I stayed home and read the paper. Much better. I also had coffee and leftover Pho for breakfast. Very tasty.

Emily was gone for an hour and a half. I had enough time to do all the above and take a shower. She got home about the time the plumber and Walker showed up. Yes, sounds weird. But, Walker was going on a ride with his friend, Heinz, a plumber, this weekend. By Auburn. And I need a plumber. So he stopped at my house and did a little review of our issues and is going to now send a bid. Just for fun, we need – a new water heater, a drain and water supply in the coffee cabinet, and a fix for the lav sink and master shower valve. I am sure it will cost far too much.

After they left, time to clean the house. For a couple hours. I vacuumed. And picked up shit. Then I washed one of the cars. I have six cars so I wash cars often. Have another for tomorrow.

Emiky cleaned the bathrooms and mopped. What fun!

Once done we cleaned up and headed out to run errands. Two or three stops in Auburn for gas, hardware, and food. Off to the mall in Roseville. More stops for pet food, housewares, and other crap I can’t remember. I wasn’t into it.

Back home after two and a half hours of retail fun. Ok not fun. I spent my time blowing my nose and coughing. And feeling like crap. I’m sick, remember? I feel it through my entire being. I am not enjoying this cold. At all.

I feel much better being home though I did spend the first 15 mins, after getting home, sneezing my brains out. Now I feel better. Sort of. I made a rhubarb margarita, I hear they do wonders for common cold. Or not, who cares. It’s just what I made.

Got the bbq going, a roast has been marinating since this morning. It’s now grilling. It will be awesome. I think.

Wheel is on the TV, so life is ok. I am not coughing quite as much as earlier. I still feel like crap. I may go to bed early.

Sick as I am, I have to grill the roast. So I have to pay attention to what is going on. And btw, my wife does mumble. If she says otherwise, it’s bs.

Got the roast off the grill about the time marina texted to let us know she was on the way home. So we held dinner for her.

We were able to have dinner together with her before she ran out to go to a friends birthday party in Dixon. She keeps busy.

She took off and we cleaned up. I brought the other piece of meat, corned beef, in off the grill. We are making hash tomorrow. Everyone’s fave.

I still feel lousy but the giants game is in the tv and I want to see it. Has not been many on regular tv this season. And giants are up five runs, late. Looks good.

Once this is over I need to sleep.
