Frozen Grass

Nope not the kind that makes you happy either.  I cut the grass today and I don’t think I have ever done that in December.  But first time for everything.

I worked third shift last night and then came home to sleep this morning.  I have not really worked thirds in a long time, but thanks to one of our frequent flyer bitchy residence, it ended on a good note.  My relief was early and I was in bed by 6:30 this morning.  I slept until about noon then forced myself to get up.  I have to work days tomorrow so I didn’t want to sleep all day.

When I got up at noon, I just kind of just moved until I was ready to feel alive.  I made some phone calls and then watched my soap opera.  It would have been really easy to just sleep the day away, but  opted not to.  At about 2:30 I decided to go out and clean up the yard and mow, or mulch the leaves in the yard.  It was damn cold, but after I got gas for the mower, I was ready to go.  The leaves were wet and I didn’t feel like raking and loading them up to ger rid of them so I mulched them.  I couldn’t find my mulch cover, but anything is better than raking.  After If finished mowing, I made a small fire in the fire/grill and cleaned up the back yard.  I ever took time to play ball with the dogs.

It sure was cold, but the sun felt good and I am happy with what I got completed.  Not sure that I will be able to get out of bed or move in the am, but it felt good to be doing somethng that I enjoyed.  So I finally came into the house about 5:30 and ate some left overs.  I even made Luther a custom flannel shirt with rolled up sleeves.  Well while he was indoors, he was pretty content, but dang, when he went out side, he lost it.  It’s dark out and I ain’t going looking for it.  His loss.

Well tomorrow is a regular work day and so I must be off to the shower and then to bed.  The boys are already sleeping so, I may as well do the same.  It sure felt good to be productive, even tho it was colder than a "witches tit."  Don’t really know how cold that is, but I sure heard it alot as a kid, so it must mean something. And to prove it, I mowed frozen grass!

Okay, thats all for now and I am over and out!  Roger that!
