ONWARD! DAYS 13 - 15

ONWARD!  DAY 13

What a difference a day makes.  I feel really good today.  In fact not only was I up bright and early, but after breakfast I worked for an hour weeding the area in front of the deck.  It is so bad that I only got a small portion done, but I am making progress.  Finished my morning chores, took a shower, talked to Jana, and now it is almost time for lunch.

After lunch I did a set of physical therapy.  Also did a load of laundry.  The rest of the day was just some odds and ends.  I did watch the Xfinity NASCAR race.  After supper.  I watched the first half of the Alabama game.  Would have watched some of the Auburn game but it was on past my bedtime.   

ONWARD!  DAY 14

This morning I woke up to ants on my kitchen counter again.  After I finished fighting them (I haven’t seen any for about an hour now) I had breakfast.  I then went outside and pulled more weeds, etc. in front of the deck.  I know I am making progress, but it doesn’t look like I have done much.  Not only am I pulling weeds, I have been cleaning out flower pots of dead plants, and pulling weeds out of the flower pots that still have live plants.  I deadheaded the hydrangea bush.  It has a lot of new growth.  I can’t find the other one because of the weeds.  This year I planted several day lilies, but I think they have died.  They bloomed once and then just curled up and died.  I cut them back and maybe they will come back next year.

Morning chores are finished.  I even finished going through the last two book shelves in the bookcase in my bedroom.  After lunch Rebecca came over and visited for a while.  When she left I did a set of physical therapy.  Watched the final 20 laps of the Camping World Truck Race.  Ate supper.  Did my second set of physical therapy.  Now I am watching the NASCAR Sprint Race.

ONWARD!  DAY 15

I told you that you would probably be bored, but I’m not done yet!  Good Morning.  After breakfast I started the dishwasher.  Killed a few ants.  Then headed outside to pull some more weeds and work on the area in front of my deck.  I am almost half way finished.  It is starting to look decent.  I even found the other hydrangea bush.  I thought for sure it would be dead, but it actually has new leaves.  Yea!  Came inside for a break.  Talked to Jana.  Now I am going to shower and do my morning chores.

Okay.  Took my shower and finished my morning chores.  Also did one load of laundry.  I changed the bed sheets and that is the laundry I am doing.  Yesterday was towels.  After lunch I emptied the dishwasher; visited with Jennifer, Rebecca and Bethany.  Rebecca is finished house/dog sitting since Kevin and Renea are due back today.  In fact they arrived home about 5:00 this afternoon.  They had been at Ft. Polk, Louisiana, visiting Rick and Beth.  I watered the plants on the deck and the ones I weeded that are in containers in front of the deck.

Bethany tried to pet, hold and/or play with Penny while she was here.  Of course, Penny was being a little stinker and would run away.  Then when Bethany left Penny went to the door trying to find her.

I visited with Kevin and Renea for a few minutes.  Also took them their mail.  After supper I talked to Jana. 

That’s it for today.  I’m tired.  Going to watch some television before I go to bed.
