Friday Nap in the Car

 Earlier this week, I asked Tommy what he was going to do with the electric can opener that has been sitting in the corner of the counter for over a year. He asked if it even worked. Since neither of us knew, we assumed it does not. Besides, it was filthy! I think it did not work because the blade had never been cleaned, but I did not volunteer that. Actually, I just now remember it has inch of gunk all over the cutting blade, having never been cleaned in the forty years he owned the can opener maybe before he moved here in 1980.

Friday night, I asked him if he would take it to the garbage can at least by tomorrow. In ten minutes he had it tied up in a plastic bag and took it out in the dark and cold and dropped it in the garbage can. Whew!

I need to put the air fryer back in that corner. lol Then, the area beside the sink and between the sink and dishwasher can be cleared, giving me more room for working. 

My next goal is to have him toss chipped and cracked dishes. He says the cracks and chips don't bother him, and does not believe they pose any health hazard. And if they really do, he says he does not care. 

Friday afternoon, I went to sleep in the parked car listening to the bird call cd. I may take it to my dental appointment. Speaking of sitting and waiting, we waited at least 45 minutes at the drive up window at Walgreen's. I know there have been times in the past when I could not afford the gas to sit that long. Even starting and stopping the motor after each car advanced would have taxed my finances. Of course, we went there at 3 pm on a Friday evening. 

Friday had a deep blue sky and a few fluffy white clouds. It was beautiful outside. However, the wind was so rough that my sinuses are suffering today. I think if I wore a mask, even going to the car, I would fare better in windy weather. 

I finally found pint freezer bags. Publix had a shelf full of what I needed, so I bought six boxes of 20 pint freezer bags. It is a relief to not use quarts all the time and to not be stressed about finding what I need. 

I baked six huge chicken breasts on Thursday morning before I went to the ENT. We had chicken  and broccoli for lunch, and then chicken and Brussel's sprouts and another vegetable for dinner. Lunch on Friday was chicken sandwiches, Friday dinner was chicken and green beans in stuffing, carrots and potatoes. I still have enough for the two of us for three more meals. And, we are eating fruit with all this.

As soon as I eat my Saturday lunch of chicken sandwich, we are going to see if a church has a yard sale. They hold unannounced sales on Saturdays. It's 42F right now, so the sunny weather and lack of rough wind will make this a nice day. This will be the first yard sale of the year.

Have you been to a yard sale this year?
