Thursday…

I woke up before the alarm went off (again). This is getting old.

I got a cup of coffee and filled in the Blog. Then I heated up two more muffin omelets (or whatever the hell you call them). I am now into the ones made with mozzarella cheese and they are much blander than the first ones with sharp cheddar cheese. They are a good breakfast, I suppose, but somewhat boring.

It was a beautiful day on Thursday. The weather was perfect; high of 80 degrees, not too much humidity and a nice light breeze.

My morning walk was interrupted by a killdeer in the parking lot. She was determined to make me think her wing was broken, so I assumed her nest is nearby. I haven’t seen one of those since I lived on Palms Road.

I had to go to the credit union at lunch. Since I was down in Westland, I stopped into Red Robin to celebrate National Hamburger Day. I got their ‘Black and Bleu” burger and fries.

When I got home after work, I treated the cat and then changed clothes. Then I searched and found my watering can. I mixed some Miracle-Gro fertilizer with a gallon of water and then watered the hanging plants on the porch. I mixed another batch and put it on the new clematis I planted out back.

I watched the news for a bit then went out on the front porch. The weather was too nice to stay inside. So, I sat in the rocker and watched the world go by.

Eventually, there were no more neighbors to wave at or playing kids across the street to watch, so I went back inside. It was funny. All the time I sat out there, Caley was sitting at the storm door, watching me. She was probably thinking, “What in the hell is he doing, anyway?”

I had eaten my way out of sides for my ribs. So, I thought about Southern barbeque and came up with an idea. I made a blue box of mac & cheese and warmed up a can of Bush’s Grillin’ Beans (the can said “best used by March 2015”). I warmed up three ribs, drizzled some BBQ sauce on top (the sauce is the boss!) and ate another excellent dinner.

I started to watch “Blazing Saddles” yet again (Mel Brooks is insane, but funny). Unfortunately, I fell asleep before it ended (but I know how it ends). I woke up after midnight, turned the TV off and went to bed for real.
