Day 446

I turned over and slept until 8:10 this morning.  I figured that was OK since I went to bed at 12.  I surfed for awhile and then got bored.  I should have gotten out of bed, but I didn't.  So of course I went back to sleep.  I slept until 10:30.  This has got to stop.  After pet stuff and breakfast I decided to make amends by taking down the Christmas lights.

I took down the lights on the deck and then went out and took down the gate lights.  I also put up the solar lights that I had bought a few weeks ago.  When I finished that I did my exercises.  While I was doing that, I noticed that a tree was rubbing against the garage when the wind blew.

I got out the tree pruner and cut down the offending tree branches.  It broke while I was doing that.  It's broken a couple of times before and I've fixed it.  This time there's no fixing it.  I also trimmed a bush by the parking area and some of the wisteria.  Of course the last step was to haul it all off into the woods.

It was mid 80's and sunny today, so of course after that I was hot and sweaty.  So I went inside and took a shower.  Then we went to pick up a prescription and the mail.  We stopped a Wendy's for a late lunch also.  The dog did 21 retrieves in the hot weather before we got the mail.  Amazon said they delivered a package before Christmas, so I expected it.  There wasn't anything in the box.  So I stood in the window line for 20 minutes.  The lady there went back and found it.  Apparently the tip I gave her paid off.

I met Lee at the post office.  He said he could come and get the cart when we got home.  So I texted him when e got home.  Ellen's bag was leaking, so we spent the hour before he came over replacing it.  I showed him a little about reloading and gave him the cart.  I'm hoping I can get him to take the Theil speakers.  He said he'd think about it.

After dinner I surfed awhile and then watched TV - Ellen's fantasy show, UNC basketball, and a Vietnam war movie.  About 9 Ellen's new bag started leaking.  A new record.  It lasted 4 hours.  CRAP.  So we changed it again.
