I have no idea how I ever found time to work 40 hours a week! I have nothing at all that I MUST do, yet I am busy every single day from the time I wake until I go to bed. Seems there is no time for anything. Today I was up at 7:30, had 6 packages to pack and take to the post office. Husband called out to me about 8:30 to come out and look at something. I have a Honda Ridgeline truck and in the bed of the truck there is a panel that opens to reveal a huge trunk. It is big enough to put several large suitcases or a week's worth of groceries. I rarely use the truck anymore and with plenty of room in the back, especially since I fold the seats up, it has been a long time since I opened the truck bed trunk. Well, Jerome opened it to get out the lug wrench to check the lug nuts and the trunk was full of water! Like 25-30 gallons of dirty water and I had some old clothes, t-shirts and a suitcase in there. Had to clear it all out and empty the water to find that someone had somehow closed the drain which is why the water accumulated, although I have no idea how it got in as the lid is supposed to be water tight. So 2 hours of cleaning up that mess and a huge bag of trash now to take to the dump. Went back in house and finished my packages, then to Post office and to UPS to drop them off. We then went and got breakfast sandwiches and coffee, then to 2 thrift stores and a stop at grocery store. Then I got a text message that the gas grill I ordered yesterday at Home Depot was ready to pick up, so back home, dropped off car, got in truck and went to get gas grill. Brought it home and had to detach propane tank from old grill, remove it from deck, move some deck furniture and clean up some space for the new grill and hitch up the tank to it. Then put everything back where it was. Went down and weeded my garden, picked some rhubarb, watered my hanging plants. Then went into my computer and checked email, relisted a few items on Ebay, checked some sold items on FB pages, sent Paypal invoices for them. By then, it was 3:30 and time to call for pizza, a Thursday tradition for over 40 years. Picked up pizza at 4:30, back home just before 5 and ate. Watching the news while I list a few items on Ebay, play Wordle, and catch up on Words with Friends. And I am tired.
