What I Did On My Autumn Vacation

OY VEY, boyfriends!

Two weeks of pneumonia, missed work, no gym have made me very off-balance!

And now it's vacation time, but I have no money and nowhere to go.

So let's see what mischief I can think of doing!

October 12 & 13 - spouse went to visit his mother & brother upstate; I stayed home with the pussies.  I knitted, I baked, I listened to music, I watched crap on youtube on my laptop, I took much needed naps.

October 14 - I went to the office for 3 hours while spouse did some outdoor work with his cousin's help.  Due to the pneumonia, I missed 5 days and have much backlog.  I managed to clear 90% away yesterday.  Came home and relaxed the day away.

October 15 - spouse's 54th birthday!  I baked him a birthday cake, took him out to lunch, took a nap, went to the gym, did some reading, listened to music.  He planted a japanese red maple tree.  and it's raybeard's birthday too!

October 16 - spouse went to his cousin's house to help him clear away stuff from 2 dead relatives.  I made slow cooker (crock pot) lasagna, did a load of laundry, went grocery shopping, emptied the recycle bin, did some reading, listened to music.  AND there's a new boyfriend to add to the mix; go say hello to randy in NE!

October 17 - my 21st anniversary with spouse.  Slept in late today, did a load of dishes, made quiche for dinner, exchanged small gifts, did some reading and knitting, went to the gym, listened to music.  spouse did some outdoor work.  AND I wore a purple shirt today, cause bullying on ANY level blows goats.  It's bob & carlos' anniversary too!

still life with wine and peppers (spouse took this one)

October 18 - Indian food (small buffet) for lunch.  Did a load of laundry, took a nap, paid bills, did some reading, listened to music.  Spouse planted a second japanese red maple tree and continued his outdoor work.

October 19 - went to the gym, picked up a prescription, took a nap, did some reading and knitting, baked a chocolate cake for tonight's dessert, listened to music.  Then I put my local tax dollars to work: the township was sponsoring a mobile shredding event, so I took over a copy paper box full of sensitive crap.  They were also collecting electronics for green-cycling, but I didn't have any of those.  Spouse cut the grass for the last time this season, mulching the leaves as he went along.

October 20 - read the sunday paper, did some knitting and reading, made cornbread as a side to tonight's dinner (bbq pork chops), listened to music, took a nap.  spouse did more outdoor work.  I have a heating pad on my left ankle (arthritis).

And that's what I did on my autumn vacation. (curtseys)

You may now all yawn at once.

Saturday Night Dance Party!




This is how I am feeling right now.

Dance like no one's watching.

Sing like no one's listening.

"Walk Softly On This Heart Of Mine" - the Kentucky Headhunters, 1990's country rock-n-blues.

Although, considering this week I've spent with a new friend (pneumonia), I should change the title to "Walk Softly On This Lung Of Mine".  And I would totally do the lead singer!

I TOLD you I go all over the map in music genres!

Only 197 days til...(you know what!)
