Wednesday

This will have to be a quickie post because the electricity is scheduled to go off at 11 pm tonight and stay off till 2 am. 

After my heavy-duty scrubbing and cleaning yesterday, every part of my body ached so bad that I could not fall asleep.  Finally I took a shot of Nyquil and rubbed mentholaum on my knees.  That did the trick.

The problem was that I just could not wake up all day.  I slept until mom got home from Bible study, then I went out and sat with her in the family room and fell asleep in the recliner. 

She brought me back a container of potato salad from the local diner.  They make the best potato salad!  It is very creamy and delicious.

She mowed the yard while I slept in the recliner.

At a little after 4 pm she went to the fair with her friend Sherry.  I heated up the left over chicken strips from last night and ate them for supper.  I watched the first and part of the second episodes of Ghost Hunters.  I had already seen the second one, so I went to my bedroom and did some game playing on Facebook.  They have a scrabble type game now that is pretty fun.  I am playing 3 games with one friend and 1 with another friend and two with former students.

Currently, I am kicking everyone's ass.  LOL.

The one thing I do have is a very fine vocabulary.

I told mom to bring me back an elephant ear from the fair--but I am betting she doesn't do it.  She was going to the grandstand show and she will want to go straight home once the show is over.  It's possible most of the food stands will be closed by then anyhow.

I don't really NEED an elephant ear.  I just love them so much.

I took my second to the last load of clothes out of the dryer, but I have not folded them yet.  I threw the bedspread into the dryer.  There are still a few more things that need to be washed, but I will do them another day.

Sad to say, but that is really about all that I have to say about today.  Mostly I slept. 

While I was napping in the recliner I dreamt that Mom and Dad and Grandma Neitzell and possibly Cora and Caleb were helping me move into a dorm room at a college.  It was more like a suite as there were at least three rooms--like a living room area with a microwave and refrigerator and two bedrooms and a bathroom.  Iit was very nice.

As they were leaving, I reflected on the fact that (a) I had not registered for classes and (b) I did not have any money.

My roommate came after they left and she was a tiny, cute little brunette with short curly hair.  She looked at me like, "HOLY SHIT!  My roommate is a senior citizen."  LOL.

College was probably the best time in my life, but I was always broke and often hungry.  Also, it would not be the same if I went back.  For one thing, I would probably be smarter than the teachers.  Ha.

Anyhow. 

I think my mom just got back.  I was going to put a flashlight up outside the door for her, but I think she made it before the lights out.  My cats are all at my bedroom door growling.  LOL.

Yes, it was my mom.  I called her on her cell phone.  I'm glad she made it back before the electricity went off.  I was going to put a flashlight  on the doorstep for her if she wasn't back by 10:50 so she could find her way around the house...but, now  there is no need. 

I guess that's it for me for tonight.  With luck I can play a quick game or two of bubble pop before the electricity is off.
