Catch up day....sort of

After a day of bowling with opponents way out of our league, Perry and I decided to scratch our names off the starters for today. We played four days in a row and it was too much yesterday. Today I feel I would have crawled up and down the rink ! Didn't get up till after ten this morning....I woke at four...couldn't get back to sleep so I read some more of my latest book....The Eleventh Commandment" which I find riveting. Love suspense...CIA...politics...etc.
An hour of reading made me sleepy, so back to sleep at five am.
I had good intentions....need to vacuum, decided that can wait till tomorrow...only I know it need doing and I am patient !!! All this stuff waits for you. As long as the bathroom is spotless...kitchen in good shape...STUFF put away .... food in the fridge...that's it till I REALLY feel like doing it. Pam, Rachel and James will be here for nine days, July 2 till July 9 and that's when hardly anything gets done....however between now and then the house will look as tho no one lives here ! The weather is just too good to spend indoors, so we drove across to Morayfield and checked out our local hardware store....bought two highly perfumed and beautifully colored rose bushes (Double Delight)....another glue gun....a light fitting and some sort of spray bottle that Perry needed to mix weed killer...at least I think that is what he wants it for. Headed for the mall as we were now quite hungry and the cafeteria at Bunning's Hardware has closed.
I love Hungry Jacks ....a Whopper for me and a Bacon Cheeseburger for Perry....shared a Coke and fries. I have had to cool it with the calories, but today was an exception....unfortunately I love fast food. While Perry picked up a few things in the grocery store I cruised my favorite stores....found nothing....then.....whoa....yes !!!! It is supposed to be winter here so all the last of the last summer clothes are shrinking down to about two racks per store. Off to Katie's where guess what. Two skirts that can be worn for golf or bowling were marked down from $30 to $10....my wardrobe was happy to accommodate them. Bought some of that stuff that you line drawers with so things wont slide around and did one of the pots and pans drawers. Small things can make me sooo happy!!!! The other drawer has to be culled and then also lined. I think we have enough stuff to start a catering business....sometimes the old saying "less is more" applies to kitchen stuff. We certainly don't need three pans that are large enough to make spaghetti for fifty people! Tomorrow I am fairly certain I will attack the second drawer....then again....
Perry called Jack too early today and left a message for him. While we were out the mobile phone let us know that Jack had called back...he hadn't left a message, but will probably call tomorrow. I spoke to Susie several days ago and she told me Maggie's white blood cell count is up and she was able to get out of bed for a very short period of time. Seeing as we haven't heard anymore from anyone....hopefully, no news is good news.
Had an email from niece Kelly....baby Davis James Galluzo (I think that is how it is spelled) has arrived. Mother, father and baby doing great. Baby is off to a flying start having great parents.

Why is T.V. on Saturday nights so abysmal ? It's just after nine and unless you are an avid football fan....nothing !!!!!!! So....maybe some vanilla cappuccino and raisin toast then bed....yes that sounds like a really great idea....damn the calories....tomorrow is another day.
