After a week of hard labor my body forced me to rest. although my body was tired my mind was not.
I did have one short appointment so while I was out I picked up Diet cokes for Tony, I set the trash can out to the curb, in case I do not get back to town before Monday, and I left a box of cake mixes, instant oats and instant grits for the elderly ladies, they were gone but I had a trash bag in back so I left it on the steps.
Back at home,I turned the phones off and I warmed the house cause its cold outside! Got my novel and went to bed, under the electric blanket, read for a couple hours and went back to sleep.
No, I did not neglect Tony. He was already asleep when I went to lay down and I think he slept for 4 hours. He woke me at 6:30 pm to tell me "From not to hot" was on.
We ate what food was already cooked in the fridge, that is another discussion.
So, no cleaning, no gardening that I had planned, no cooking.
Lots of laying down and lots of sleep.
How was your day?

Most of my Friday was spent in the car. 4 hours out, a couple of hours of riding around because it was too wet to do anything else, and 4 hours back home again.
