All Done

 On Sunday, I did not lift a finger. I was tired this weekend, so this was a necessity. One thing was good, I was not ill like I have been the last two years on my birthday. Of course, this tiredness could be a precursor to being ill as this happens. 

I had forgotten that Lynda's birthday was on the 7th, so needed to do something for her. First off, I bought a little gift bag that cost me $0.33. Since she had said she would like to purchase some of the 48 cans of tuna I bought cheaply from Amazon, I could fit four of those on their sides in the bag. Next, I wanted her to have some of my birthday brownie, so I cut a large one from the center of the pan and placed it in a sandwich bag. I poked a hole in the bag and inserted a yellow candle. That went on top of the cans of tuna. Then, I put a large, juicy halo in to hold the brownie in place. Since I wrote nothing on the gift bag, she can reuse that. And, of course, the rest of the gift was consumable and all food I knew she loved. 

Someone's birthday is on the 12th since it was not Lynda's. Now, I wonder whose birthday I will be forgetting tomorrow.

Since I forgot to put a birthday card in her bag, I will include that with the coffee I am giving her. I won coffee on The Occasional Nomads, vanilla. Tommy did not care for it. But, it won't go to waste. 

We went for a ride once we delivered Lynda her gift. Then, in order not to go home to go out again, we ate. Sonic has been having a delicious looking cheeseburger on Texas toast. We carried drinks from the refrigerator. The park was shady and we watched a baseball game of high schoolers. The Texas toast was so scorched it was almost inedible. A Whopper would have been better. But, now the Sonic ad will hold little lure for me. I had another burger from Sonic once, and think that the footlong chili cheese is the best thing at Sonic. 

I forgot to light the candle I got out to put on the brownie, but that's okay. The sun shone all day, a change from the forecast. I had a nap later on in the day. Tomorrow, I need to make calls and arrange for the only thing I wanted as a gift. 

For a week, the weather will be sunny with no rain and the temperatures will be in the 80s. I am sorry to see the heat go, but it will be pleasant. Today, even though the temp was in 80s, we were very hot in the car. Lynda had sweat on face, neck and chest as she stood beside the car to talk. So, the cooler weather is a way off right now. 

There was a bag of fire ant bait by the front door. When we went out, it was torn open and scattered about. Tommy said a dog or possum did it. The porch was covered in ants going for the spilled bait. I left them until they all were gone. I suppose there are fire ants in some of the pots on the porch or below on the ground. Tommy took both bags, opened and unopened and put them in a trash bag. He covered the broom with a plastic bag, swept all the bait from the porch and discarded the bag into the trash. Now, I wonder if the ants will still come to the open bag in the trash bag. 

9/11 will forever be a day of horror for me. My daughter in Brooklyn called me terrified. Her husband worked 3 blocks from the WTC and she could not reach him. So, the day was quite scary for her and, of course, for me. When you expect the phone call early on your birthday to be your daughter, it is hard to hear some woman screaming and crying, a woman I did not recognize as my own child!

I hope your weekend was clear, blue skies. What did you do at your house?
