Friday, Payday, does it get any better?

Damn cold when I went outside this morning. Went back in and got a jacket.

Work was l-o-n-g and hectic. So, I was thrilled when my boss said, "You guys can knock off at 4:30, if you want to!" Having a bit a free time, I stopped at Farmer Jacks to get a jump on my weekend grocery shopping. Got home, put everything away and took a well-deserved break...

But, it's not a break unless you go back to work, right? Still sunny and just enough daylight left, so I went and pulled out all the annuals from the front garden. Then I worked in some slow-release fertilizer, cut off all the woody flower stems on the hostas and cut down the daylily. I talked briefly with Jake and Carla (who came to get some tools) and a couple that live two streets over who were looking for their missing dog. Raked all the mess into a pile (I'll move it to the compost heap tomorrow - now am seriously running out of daylight).

Came in, cleaned up and started dinner. Southern-fried a bunch of chicken drumsticks. Used eggs, buttermilk and red hot sauce as the "wet" in my breading station. Not a bad dinner (plus, I have a convenient snack for the weekend!)

Watched TV, fell asleep, woke up, got dressed and went outside to check out the full moon (I'd read today it was supposed to be the brightest full moon this year, due to the closeness of the orbits or something). It was bright and beautiful, with moonshadows everywhere! (I think I was being followed by one, lol!) Went back to bed... TGIF
