Set the Clock
I can set my clock by Dennis’ timeline.
At eight, Dennis has opened his eyes, been to the bathroom, has a cup of coffee sealed so as to not spill, his breakfast box filled and out the door to the patio porch all by the time of 8:10. I will greet him for the day when he comes in at 12:30 after he has caught the noon news on one of his two televisions in the patio porch. Dennis is one that follows his habits and then is ready for the day in every good spirits. There is no way I am going to mess with a routine that serves both of us well.
From the time I get up, which is also eight, I have the run of our home’s first floor. Believe me, I could literally run someone over. It’s all about an agenda to keep hearth and home running like a clock . . . just not Dennis’ clock.
When Dennis comes in at 12:30, I am up for whatever plans Dennis has for the remainder of the day.
Today, we made a trip to our Dollar General here in town as Dennis was in need of distilled water for his CPAP. I had an item I needed for the studio out of the school supply isle. All of the new OESD designs have been printed off and it is time to get them into the embroidery library. Sheet protectors I had, I needed a ring binder.
While Dennis was parked to watch the traffic, I was using their bright yellow cart cruising the aisles. Surprisingly I found quite a few items as I was checking their prices. The orange juice of 64 ounces was a much better price, quality to quality, than when our grocer has 52 ounces on sale. So I was impressed. Our local Super-Fair is expensive. I plan on shopping again sometime using a bright yellow cart.
Dennis’ oven meal was fantastic. He used the remaining shredded pork roast with medium sized cooked ( a bit on the gelatin side) egg noodles. He added two cans of green beans he had diced and topped it off with a jar of Alfredo white sauce. As I said, it was fantastic sitting down to a flavorful meal and all the prep work left the kitchen as clean as if I had been at it. The remaining of his oven meal is for this evening.
With that I will take my leave. ♥
