I slept pretty well the first part of the night, but woke up coughing at 4am. Took me an hour to get back to sleep; I was wide awake. I ended up becoming addicted to those little dog videos, some of which are really funny and some are just plain stupid. I just kept scrolling through…
There were a few things to do in Jeannette this morning, but I doubt there will be much more for me in Greensburg. I think Joe has everything under control. Rege and I sat for almost an hour comparing cough symptoms. I’m not sure what this is – allergies, illness, (Not COVID, we were both tested), common cold, etc) – but we certainly have had weeks of this. I left the store and went to Walmart in Irwin just for a change of pace. Rege asked me to look for his favorite cough drops, which are hard to find. I was happy to do that and ended up getting him two packages. That should get him through a couple of days!
I came home and had my yellow squash for lunch, started a laundry load, changed clothes, and cut the grass. It was a perfect day for that – very cool and sunny. I don’t mind mowing but these days it does make me tired quickly.
Normally I’m not a big TV person – I pick a show or two to watch in the evening after all the chores are done. But being low-key this summer has had me sitting more. I have gone through every episode of My Lottery Dream Home, Houses with History, Farmhouse Fixer, Fixer to Fabulous, and Home Town several times each. I’m very selective of the Hallmark movies that I watch, and tire of them easily. I’ve read a complete book almost every two days, and that doesn’t count the time I spend going to work, running errands, doing yardwork, and occasionally having fun! I just finished the first book in the Williamsburg Novels – and am starting the second book later this evening, after I read a few of the Flash Fiction contest stories. All the while wishing I would just stop coughing!
My blessing for today was making Sir Regis happy with his cough drops!
PEANUTS Thought for the Day:
TOMORROW September 10th is:
National Ants on a Log Day; National TV Dinner Day; Swap Ideas Day; White Balloon Day.
Yesterday’s fake day was Rock Paper Scissors day. Tomorrow- I’ll eat dinner while watching TV! I guess that’s not the idea, but it’s the best I can do. God bless…
