We have had strong winds lately but I did manage, before 6
a.m., while it was not yet hot, to walk my neighbor’s lot (they are away for
the summer) and pull some scattered weeds. I will spray one of these days as
soon as the winds die down. Did my lot, as well.
I also managed to dice and “stew” two big apples and two big
pears. I nuked them - 5 minutes, stir once, then 5 minutes more. Now I have 4
cups of the mixed fruit for my cereals. It will be soft enough considering my
missing lower dentures. It should last a week or so.
Two laundry loads snuck in, too. One of them included ALL my
squishy soft slippers. They were really crying for a bath. Tossed in the
insoles from all my slippers and shoes as well.
Along the way, I also tossed myself into the shower and
loved, loved, loved that.
I took my bill-clipboard and made sure I had listed all my
bills for this month.
The Belmont Stakes had me glued to the TV for two hours but
I worked on a scarf for the homeless while I watched that.
Oh, and these past months, I’ve used, reused, and used
again, about 14 one-gallon jugs because of my water rationing needs. I think I
can safely retire them for a while. I gathered the sturdier ones into one trash
bag and the flimsier ones into a different one. They each had handle-ties, so I
hung each bag on a sturdy plastic hanger in the closet in Frank’s old room.
Father in heaven, thank you for my roomy old home, for
blessing me with the ability to still do some things around here, and for
doubly blessing me with the ability to see all the good things you have done
for me, this day, and all the ones now gone and the ones to still come.
