Day 138

We got up at 6:15 so that we could see Dan and Patsy off.  I can't believe that I spent a large portion of my life getting up that early so that I couid go to work.  Especially when lots of the time I hated what I was doing.

I don't know how he did it, but Dan actually got Patsy going and they left before 7:00.

After breakfast we went to the range.  Both of us practiced the qualification course and both of us scored high enough to pass.  The range had Pmags in stock at a reasonable price.  Maybe things will get back to normal eventually.   Even though we were there shortly after they opened we had to wait.  It's a holiday.  That fact was a pain in the ass all day because everything was crowded.

After that we went to get me a haircut.  I really needed it.  Then it was over to Home Depot for 720 lbs of sand for the driveway.  I'm too old to load a dozen 60 lb sacks on a gurney and then onto the truck.

On the way home we stopped at P. Terry's for lunch and HEB for milk.  Both places were crowded.

It had been cloudy and cool all morning, but it was sunny and 75 by the time we got home.  I decided to spread out the sand anyway.  Ellen raked again.  By the time we were finished I was hot and tired.

I went inside, sat down, and fell asleep.  I'm not sure how long I was asleep, but it was at least two hours.  I had promised Lucy I'd take her to the park, but I just wasn't up to it.  So I walked her up to the mailbox even though I knew there wasn't any mail.  At least she got a little fun.  She'll get more tomorrow.
