Lazy Sunday? Yeah, right...

Sunday, May 1, 2016

Another month has started!  Another one - this year is flying by!

Sunday.  Church and lunch.  A nice lazy day is planned...yeah, you know better than that, Rita!
It started out as planned, but almost as soon as we got to church, the Change of Plans happened.
We had driven Ron's truck so that we could drive it down to Amelia to put gasoline in it (at 15 to 20 cents cheaper than Bethel, Hamersville, or Georgetown) and save a bit of money.  We figured that we'd eat lunch at either the Barn or Bob Evans while in Amelia, which is not uncommon for us.  Well, when we got to church, our friends were there and asked if we wanted to go to Frisch's for lunch afterward!  Well, okay...
So, after church, it was Frisch's for lunch, and not only did we meet our friends John and Beverly, but another couple, who usually go straight home after church, decided to join us, too.  We had a great time with Larry and Marti there, too!  Ron found out that Larry has his lake ready and he can go over and go fishing whenever he can manage the time to, which pleased him.  After our nice long lazy lunch, we did go on down to Amelia to get Ron's gasoline (saving money is still very important!) and came on back home.

That's where the lazy day with Ron went right down the tubes.  After sitting down and chilling for about fifteen minutes, he decided to go do the weedeating out by the long flowerbox, since he noticed the other day when he carried the bag of topsoil over that it really, really, really needed it.  As soon as he had done that, it was, "Okay, come out here and get the planting done."  What?  No, no, no, this is a lazy day!  But he talked me into it.
So I got the seeds planted in the long flowerbox (and discovered that I have one iris already bloomed, and a bunch more ready to bloom in the iris patch on the front hill) while he planted the gladiola bulbs down along the garage.  Then we planted the narcissus bulbs that we've had at least three years all along the front hill, and the impatiens that I got from Community Savings Bank under the maple tree (they need shade - hahaha in this yard).  Then we moved to the back yard and planted our new strawberry plants in the square box sitting on the cistern lid.  Remember - we tried tomatoes last year, and they didn't do so well, so this year, it's strawberries!  I thought there were only six or eight plants in that little bag, but there ended up being ten, so it looks kinda crowded, but we'll see what happens.

After this, I came in and literally collapsed into my recliner.  I was exhausted!  I felt like I'd been through a wringer...and I ended up falling asleep, too.
I had remembered to put sunscreen on before going out, but it was very hot doing that work.  You've got to remember - I am lazy, especially now.  I did not feel well at all, but I did feel better after my little nap.

When Ron finally came in, he woke me up to make sure I was okay (which I was), and then we got to work here in the kitchen.  We cut up our vegetables for our salads, which will be our supper on Monday and Tuesday, and possibly Wednesday.  I made him his cabbage dish for supper tonight, and I made myself chicken noodle soup.  Chop, chop, chop, cut, cut, cut.

THEN Ron tells me that I have to take him to work tomorrow, because one of the tires on my car is shot - it is showing wires and he won't let me drive it.  Ai yi yi!  Wonderful.  Just what we need.
So now I have to get up at 4am to take him to work so I'll have the truck to go to my hematologist appointment, which I really don't want to miss.  I'll be getting my final diagnosis, so this is pretty important to me.

I guess I should get to bed early tonight!
