I did manage to vacuum and clean my computer room rug. I am a big slob, I guess. I could not believe the various spots I had of some unknown source. They required me to use other *stuff* for them. By the time I got through, I was exhausted. But it was done. I also managed to cook up Baron's chicken for the next 9 days (I used up one today). It was the first time I used the pressure cooker but I got it right. I also washed another load of clothes since I barfed on a small blanket and the shirt I had on last night. No clue why I barfed unless the Marie Callender meal I ate about a half hour before that was bad. But it had been in the freezer only since the day before the Beast left for his vacation.
The Beast left Chicago for the return trip at 6:15am and got here at 5:30pm. That beat the best time we ever made on that trip. Only by about 45 minutes but the Beast does sometimes run 10 mph over the speed limit (or more...LOL). The first thing he did was take Baron for a run and Baron came home happy. He really did have a grin on his face. Then the Beast unpacked his dirty clothes and put a load in the washer. I have them all folded now but he went to bed around 9pm so putting them away will have to wait until tomorrow. He has another load to do (his good clothes) and I am not allowed to wash those. Like I really cared? I'm happy he takes on a lot of the household stuff. If he wants to take care of his own clothes, bless his heart.
I ended up putting the chickens away tonight because the Beast is still hurting from doing the *tourist* thing in downtown Chicago and Old Town with his sister and his two friends from church. They were fascinated with a lot of things, like Buckingham Fountain, Navy Pier (they rode the huge ferris wheel there) and they got to eat Italian beef sandwiches as well as a Chicago pizza. His buddy raved about the pizza there (I don't blame him). But the Beast didn't bring home any Italian beef for us. He said we can always order it like we normally do and it comes here still frozen. I love Portillo's Italian beef and their tamales, too. I was really hoping....... Oh well!
His sister sent me some of her rice pudding. I took a taste test and it is really good! The stinker must have Auntie Em's recipe because that is what it tastes like. I'll probably have a bowl of it before I go to bed.
I'm going to have to cut up more of the watermelon tomorrow. The Beast really decimated it after he finally sat down to relax. I don't blame him since it is so very sweet and also juicy. I haven't had a watermelon that good in ages.
Well, it's THAT time again. I need to go shower and get ready for bed. I really am beat after all I did today. Tomorrow I will have to make up a list of things I need the Beast to get at Walmart. It's all minor but there are a few things I need to make my spaghetti. I have a taste for it so why not? I just hope the Beast has no objections since his taste buds might still be up in Chicago....LOL.
Love you all. I hope your week goes well. Remember to tell those you love that you do, and do it often. Life is just too short not to tell them that. ***Hugs***
