This was such a quiet day or us. While I had nothing to go out and do, I also had no desire. We stayed in and watched TV. The gully washer came suddenly even though we were warned by the clouds. One hummer actually came out in the heaviest and visited the feeder.
Today was also the day that his church was opening up fully since the pandemic was better. Well, we heard nothing of that. I highly objected. He listens to the news, too. Last night, he said he was not going. Whew!
Last night, after finally going to sleep, I did get eight hours of sleep. This makes 3 of of 4 nights I slept well and long. So, the Cymbalta is helping in one way. And, when I can get a good night of sleep, I don't have so much muscular pain. I imagine that is true for everyone. I have no idea since I have had pain for so long.
Saturday night, we used the last of the ground beef that Tommy chopped up in the pan. Spanish Rice took care of that meat. I had less than two helpings, but that was okay. I used brown rice like I usually do. There are 15 pounds here. I did use less rice, only 1/2 cup before cooking. Diced tomatoes and tomato paste, chopped onions, chopped bell pepper, salt and pepper was all I put in it. Even using less rice, we still have another meal for tonight.
Tommy loves Spanish Rice. We had green beans with it last night. Sunday night, I think I will cook the fresh Brussels Sprouts. So, 2.20 lbs, of very cheaply acquired ground beef , I think, was used for four meals. I am not going to look back for exact weight.
Before the night is over, I need to get all the seeds out of the muscadine "jam" I made. Half the jar will be frozen. I cannot eat this too often, so I don't want it to sit and spoil This made 10 ounces in a pint jar. So, you can see how few I bought for $4. I only ate three and Tommy wanted none.
Later, folded kitchen towels and bath towels will be put away along with hanging clothing. And, one huge sheet is intimidating me since stretching my arms far enough to straighten and fold is difficult. Of course, there are dishes in the sink to wash--as always.
Well, it is time for America's Funniest Videos and it demands complete attention in order not to miss a moment. Do you ever watch AFV?
