At last, a day at home!

I've been sitting here at the computer this morning, thinking about all the things I could do, but don't have to. I finally have a day to do exactly what I want, whatever that is!

Yesterday was insanely busy. I exercised on the elliptical and then showered. I went to Ray's new house and picked up the checkbook. I went to the newspaper office and placed an ad for the rental house. I went to the Shepherd's Center and inquired about donations. I went to the courthouse and voted, which took about 1 minute, but the visiting and courtesy talk took another 15. I picked up mail at the post office. I wandered about the Farmer's Market and bought cabbage, eggplants, peppers and cukes. That also entailed a fair amount of social interaction with the vendors. Then off to Ray's other rental house to make an appointment to do the final walk-through with the tenants on Friday. Then back to Ray's to drop off the checkbook.

Then I drove home, threw things in a bag, shovelled some Skinny Chili into my maw and packed up Bill for the drive to Kingsport. We did the lawyer thing. We went to Cartridge World and dropped off all our printer cartridges to be refilled. Then on to Home Depot, where we bought plastic chain for the rain gutter project, and wandered around picking up brochures on bathroom fixtures. Then to Walmart's optometrist to attempt to change Bill's eye appointment, but they were closed. Then back to Rogersville to Henard's Hardware for more gutter stuff.

My idea was to cook the eggplants for dinner, but that requires 2 hours of salting, soaking and pressing; Bill informed me on the way home that he was majorly hungry, and ready for dinner immediately. So I grabbed some steaks from the freezer and zapped them, scrubbed potatoes and made a salad while he lit the charcoal. After cleaning up and putting away, we sat down to watch Antiques Roadshow (I know, our lives are just too exciting).

I fell asleep on the couch.

Today, I may just do nothing.
