I have been getting the dining room emptied out--I get new linoleum put in tomorrow. I have been at this room for the most of the day and still have this computer to take down. I am not sure if I am going to set it up in another room or just leave it down while the job is being done.


I cannot believe the amount stuff that was crammed into the china cabinet...and all of it stuff that I do want to keep. Things my children have given me for the most part with a few things from other people. So I don't think I will be disposing of any of it. I think my younger daughter would want some of it if she had room, but she has less room for stuff like that than I do.


Other than being really glad to be getting this done, I truely wish it was another time. I have lots of tomatoes about ready to can--I probably should make a small batch of salsa tonight. Will see what I feel like when we get this room ready and

Monday morning and rain....I don't think we will get a lot but it will probably put a halt to lawn mowing. That is okay. I had rather mow it towards the end of the week and would like to slowly get it back there. I was mowing on Fridays for a while, then we had a dry spell where I didn't mow for a month or over. Next came rain for several days and I had to grab the chance to mow...which happened to be a Monday, and Monday it has been for a while.

I have been in a horrible mood...can't stand myself even. I think about quilting and taking pictures but that is as far as it goes. Ever since I discovered I had cut my lining too short for the log cabin quilt top, I have just been out of the mood.

I have tons of laundry to do...got off track with that the past few days also. All last week I suffered with that just totally exhausted feeling every day. I had some place to go every single day, and even though it was nothing much to do, I would come home totally wiped out. I went to the library and my back hurt so bad that I didn't stay long enough to even make a nice selection of books.

I went to my younger daughter's another day for a couple of three hours, we did not do anything other than visit, and I came home exhausted. I get to feeling like a hypochondriac, but I don't think I am. I have not been to a doctor in over a year. Not for anything. Wouldn't a hypochondriac be running to the doctor?

I went to some yard sales with my older daughter Saturday--neither one of us found any treasures. No, I take that back. There was a woman selling iris bulbs for a $1 each and I bought three. I have not planted them yet....that is something else I need to do in the next day or two.

We celebrated our 31st anniversary today--just the two of us. Another fishing trip. My choice. I think hubby felt sort of strange, but that is really what I wanted to do. We did try a couple different creeks...one I really, really like. I want to go back there through the week--might go by myself. The other is a nice creek, but I don't have luck there. I think this is maybe my 2nd or 3rd time going there...it has probably been 10 or 11 years since I last went to it. We didn't catch anything to brag about at either place--not in number nor in size. But it was still a pleasant way to spend the day.

I told my brother I think fishing is relaxing to me because when I fish, I concentrate on fishing. I am always thinking of what lure I want to try next, what color, or where I am going to cast. Fishing is one of the few things that keeps me really focused.
