Quiet Tuesday...

I slept better I guess but still woke up too many times. Not sure why. I didn't do too much today. I was looking for my soldering iron and didn't find it. I couldn't find Father's either. Might ask neighbor if he has one. Mother was going to buy me one of those cool-to-touch ones last year but I talked her out of it. *sigh*

This evening (it's 7pm) I filled one bin with yard debris that's been in the drive way. I'll be glad when the driveway is cleared out.

Neighbor introduced me to the woman on the corner who has been having work done. She's very lovely and her property has really looked nice too. I also met her handyman. Maybe I'll use him. I'll want to brush up on my Spanish after just swearing off use of my foreign language skills. He's actually living in Mexico and commutes like thousands of others. Good for him! His work comes highly recommended. He's got a lot of projects ahead of him so work I might have might not fit into the schedule. Anyway, that was pleasant.

I just saw neighbor's daughter drive off. I'm surprised to see her out here on a Tuesday. Neighbor seemed different today. Not sure what exactly was different. He seemed cheery but distant. Of course he said his wife's protime was way off (blood too thin). I remember those days with Father.

11pm. I've heard to clips from tonight's "American Idol 5" finale. Hicks did a lousy job on Elton John's "Levon" but buzz is he'll win. I pigged out and ate a whole canister of Pringles potato crisps. I'm very bloated tonight but I think that's from the lactic acid in the milk I'm using because lactose-free is twice as expensive as regular milk. Or maybe it's the bottle carbonated water? Or both? I still have to catch up with Monday's "Everwood" episode. Not sure if I'll do that tonight. No reason not to I guess.

It's after midnight but I just finished watching "Everwood" and it was a good episode. I don't usually like Charles Durning but he played that old guy fine. I was right who they are killing off. It's a shame too. *sigh* How stupid is it such a nicely written and acted program got cut!? Grrr.
