I set my alarm early for Tuesday. I had a LOT of trash to
take out. I had the two tubs of Christmas junk to take out as well as the usual
stuff.
I forgot to mention, but on Monday, when I mentioned in
passing I was throwing away Christmas ornaments, Courtney had said, “Oh, no! I need
them! We went from a three-foot tree to a six-foot one and it was bare.” So, I
went through the tubs again and pulled out as many of the useable ornaments as I
could. I boxed them up and put them in the truck.
So, I printed off two labels, saying, “Please throw tubs
away as well” and duct taped them to the top.
I moved the truck out (so I could get the tubs out) and left
it running to warm up. It was freakin’ cold out there! I got everything out to
the road, but had to walk through deep snow and my shoes and socks were wet!
I came back in the garage and decided going back inside was
no longer an option. So, I left for work WAY too early. I got there about 7:05
a.m. and dragged the ornaments inside.
I found the track for my track saw inside, so I put it in
the truck. One down, one to go! But, my track saw came in and I was pleased! I
opened it up and got peanuts everywhere. I took it outside and put it in the
truck as well.
I went to the Newburgh Grill for lunch and had the bean and
ham soup with a patty melt. Then I went back to work and read a book until 1:00
p.m.
It was slow day in IT and it passed that way.
But, finally it was 5:00 p.m. and I headed home. I got the
trash can in (thank god the tubs were gone!) and took the track saw and track
inside.
Hell, I might just sleep with it!
I decided to deal with all the protein I bought over the
weekend. So, I wrapped the chicken with three layers of cling wrap (my answer
to freezer burn), divided the ground chuck into two packages of 1 pound each
and then addressed the chuck roast.
I wanted that for some beef stew. So, I cut it up into
one-inch chunks.
For dinner, I boiled some fresh pasta (Buitoni crab ravioli)
and warmed up some jarred Alfredo sauce. I put that together and topped it with
some fresh flat leafed parsley and some Parmesan cheese.
Okay, I admit it! I ate it all.
I watched NCIS and then skipped NCIS New Orleans (it was
taped) and read until bedtime. It was supposed to go down to -10 degrees so I turned on the water in the downstairs sinks to drip, made sure the kitchen sink cupboard door was open and then went to bed.
Did it ever get down near -10 or was 0 the low for the night?
ReplyDeleteNo, zero was the low here. But, it was like -12 below in Port Huron!
