Emily comes home today from yoga camp. No more boat races. Or panty raids. No more complaining about the camp food. Late this afternoon, she will get here.
I cooked up canned corn beef hash with fried eggs on top this morning for our breakfast. Marika and I both like canned meat. Canned hash is cheap as hell and surprisingly not so bad for you. I read the nutrition label and low cal, high protein.
That was at 1030. I was up at 830 and went down the hill for the newspaper. And it was there. Surprise. Headed backup the hill for coffee and paper. I changed clothes cuz it’s still early and I want to wear my warm bathrobe while I drink coffee and read. Made coffee. Sat down at the table. And..no glasses. Where are they? 20 minutes later, looking, I dug up an old pair. Now I read the paper.
Marika got up a little later. She could not find them either. I figured I lost them on the walk down the hill. Wrong. I walked around the house again. Looked under the clothes from the dryer. I had dropped them on the bed. Picked up my sweatshirt I had worn down the hill. Glasses dropped out of it. Oh yeah, I had them in when I pulled off the sweatshirt and they came off with it. I have got to start paying attention.
Back to the paper. I like the Sunday paper. Old news, lots of entertainment and it’s Sunday I have all day to read it. It’s a pleasure. I even read the real estate section. How many $12M homes should I buy?
After breakfast what exciting thing do we have planned? Marika went to work. I mopped the entire house. Takes about two hours. And it’s way fun!!! Please come and join in.
You may have noticed I have not yet showered and etc, well that’s now since I have finished all my domestic duties. Besides laundry which has been ongoing since I got up. I put in a wash load before I lost my eyeglasses. And it continued. Not really worth mentioning, though I just did. I digress, I showered and got dressed.
I have nothing more planned for the day. But, I am going to town. Just like yesterday. I need garbage bags toilet cleaner. Stop at pharmacy for meds. Em’s meds.
Dragged all my crap home. Emily will be home in an hour or so. I truly have nothing to do. I finish a little more laundry. Clean some dishes. Neaten. I know, it sounds fun. It really isn’t.
So I moved slowly around the house. Tracked Emily on the internet. Sat around. Folded more laundry. Finally, sat on the front porch and waited. She finally got home.
I helped Emily unload. She had plenty complaints. Mostly her newly discovered sciatica. Diagnosed by her masseuse at camp. I’m not buying it yet. She does have a sore back hindering her movement. It looks painful. Not sure of the diagnosis.
Marika got home. We sat and chatted a bit. Watched TV. Then I sent Marika out to pick up dinner. I had nothing planned or available. So dinner to go was in the cards.
I sat with the injured spouse and watched TV. She has trouble getting up and down so best to stay close.
Marika got back with food from the local burger drive-in. A favorite for sure. I shared a pastrami burger with Marika. Emily got the hot dog which is really great. The hot dog could be better than the burgers. A fine meal.
Marikas friend Jutt showed up. He missed dinner. Moron. We drank wine and sat around. Solved none of the worlds problems.
It’s time for bed. I am going. Have to be up by 4 to take the kid to the airport. Hawaii beckons.
