monthlydiaryday. It's late, but I finally got yesterday's notes typed up.
Really, yesterday was rather boring. A lack of sleep due to thunderstorm and skittish dog, plus more storms through the day made it one for not doing a whole lot.
We got up a little later than usual, around 7-ish. I made bacon and eggs for breakfast and we ate while watching Good Morning America. Then the DH had to go to Tulsa to wrap up some things at the job he is leaving--they want to retain him as a consultant, and they want him to speak to the person who's replacing him.
After he leaves, I have plans for working on the nominations for the "Tree and Flower" awards, maybe get in some nominations myself, and perhaps even get a little writing in. I spend about 20 minutes wrestling with a slow computer, and then just as I am beginning to get somewhere, BOOM! Well, I have to get offline during that kind of weather, plus Sophie is doing her terrified "HOLD ME! SAVE ME FROM THE LOUD NOISE! dance, which involves pawing at me frantically until I sit down in my recliner and hold her. So I watch a little TV--the Food Network, read some fanfic on my Nook, and doze off a bit.
The rain and storm finally slacks off around lunchtime. I grab a sandwich and manage to get back on the computer and get some stuff done. Started some laundry. Started some bread in the bread machine. Pre-baked a couple of potatoes, so we can have twice-baked potatoes for supper. Checked the garden: four more good-sized cucumbers, another half-dozen cherry tomatoes. More asparagus beans. I don't pick those today; there will be more tomorrow--enough for a good-sized mess of beans for supper tomorrow night. My bush beans, however, don't seem to be getting any bigger. I pull an onion for supper. I harvested all the radishes a few days ago. I come back in and switch over the laundry, and start to get back on the computer.
Then the DH comes home and tells me about the consulting contract, which is a nice deal for us! We watch a little TV together, and naturally I doze off again. So does he. When we wake up it's time for him to start the grill. I stuff the potatoes and wrap them in aluminum foil, and he heats them on the grill with the steaks, while I make salad. I have a couple of bananas that will go off tomorrow if I don't use them up, so I caramelize them in a little butter and sugar, and we have them over ice cream for dessert.
We watch some more TV and go to bed early, and hope that the storms don't keep the dog awake (and thus, us too!) again--but no such luck. They start up before midnight.
TODAY was a lot more interesting. It should have been the 12th instead of yesterday.
