Today was a balancing day. Hubby and I woke up only minutes apart. After he did his morning constitutional, we watched some episode of Whispering Pines, a tv show that we had watched on Hulu Plus but hadn't in awhile. So I wanted to see it again and catch up as the last episode we watched something bizarre happened at the end. During the next couple of episode, the twist come out about why these people were not allowed to leave the town and what really happened that explained why some people had been living there longer than others. The adults in the town were kept in the dark about what was going on, they just knew that they were constantly being monitored and had chips installed in them to track their every movement. The kids, on the other hand, were given orientation at school once they were ready that explained what was going on and what had happened to the rest of the world. Hubby called it Orwellian and doesn't agree with the premise of the show but that's what I find fascinating about it and will continue to watch it on my own.
When I was done watching a couple of episodes, then I got a shower and we went outside. We had notices a few weeks ago that we had trees growing in our gutters on top of the house, so today, hubby was climbing up and cleaning out the gutters. Luckily it was only the front of the house that the gutters needed cleaning out but since we hadn't done it in the almost 4 years that we have lived here, there was all sorts of dirt and sticks and trees in it. It took several hours and a lot of water from the hose to get it all flushed out. Hubby's job was to go up on the roof and do the job, mine was to stay on the ground and watch him so he wouldn't fall. And that's how it worked. Hubby did have a back spasm in the middle of it but it stopped soon. He never did come close to falling, thank goodness!
When he was done, we relaxed for a short time. He cleaned up and hydrated then we drove to Walmart. My tea hasn't been tasting good to me, even cold so I decided I needed to get some peach nectar to put in it. So Walmart didn't have any peach, but I got 4 cans of apricot nectar and 4 cans of mango nectar. That should make the tea taste better tomorrow. We also picked up some more au gratin potatoes and scalloped potatoes for additional dinners. And because I want to eat the dehydrated potatoes out of the boxes. They had cup a soup for 28 cents each so we got 4 chicken and 4 beef. They are good for hubby to have in his desk at work and I like them somethings for lunch or an early dinner. We picked up two cans of fire roasted tomatoes for the spaghetti we were going to make tonight and also some tomato soup and american cheese for another dinner night. Our shovel broke so we bought a new shovel too. It all came to $55.
Afterwards, we drove over to Sonic to get Route 44 drinks, a cherry coke for me and an orange crush for hubby and a spur of the moment decision was to also get a chili dog for him and a banana split for me. Shouldn't have done it since it was already 515pm, the bananan split turned into my dinner and when we got home, neither one of us was hungry. Frank had been working hard outside all day also, so he was trying to cool off and wasn't hungry right away either.
I looked in the fridge and we had no space for any new leftovers so I went downstairs to the office and told hubby that we needed to just eat leftovers tonight as there was no room in the fridge for spaghetti leftovers. We still had the spanish rice with beef and we still had some taco bake. Well, when the guys got hungry, they combined the two things and made burritos out of them! And really liked it! So when I do the next menu, I will schedule those two things right next to each other.
The rattie boys got tomatoes, green beans and swiss cheese tonight. When they get hungry later, I'm sure they will really like it. I cleaned out their cage tonight and put in new towels and they were very happy. They seem to like when I swap out the towels once a week. They are happy when I change out the base too, but once a week when I exchange the towels, they spend some time running around and re-exploring the cage. I'm glad I can make them happy as they make me really happy to see them cleaning and playing. I love to watch them eat with their little hands!
Tonight hubby and I are going to watch a funny zombie movie and then a comedy. Tomorrow we will go to church and maybe to the library.
