Cheri and I are both low on energy today not wanting to do anything, not sure why just one of those days. I had an electrical job this morning over in Tamp Bay Golf and Country Club. I was back home by 11:00 am. Cheri was busy working in her sewing room and finished her painting project and working on mattress covers for Wyatt’s Pack and Play. After lunch we sat down to watch some TV and I wasn’t able stay awake so I went to the bedroom for a long nap. I was woke up by the telephone. Bob called to tell me I had a driveway to power wash. So I call the lady and made arrangements to do it tomorrow. Bob had told me I could use his truck so Cheri and I went to get it because the power washer will not fit in our car unless I take it apart. After we were done with this it was back to the Recliners to watch some TV. Once again I couldn’t stay awake and slept through several programs. Cheri fixed us Broccoli Cheese soup for dinner. Then it was back to the recliners for more TV. Yep I went back to sleep and Cheri woke me up at 9:00 pm to go to bed. I said what about Dancing with the Stars and she said that she could watch it tomorrow. I said that we are going to watch it now as with all the sleep I would be able to stay awake. Well I ended up sleeping through about half of it.

Our Sundays are pretty much the same each week. Cheri was up earlier because she had to get the Sunday school lunch ready. Grandma went to church with us. After Sunday school we dropped Grandma off and then headed home to get the leftovers from Sunday school in the refrigerator and change clothes. Then we headed out to Wal-Mart to pick up Grandma’s groceries and medicine. I dropped Cheri off at Wal-Mart and then headed over to Lowe’s to pick up a couple of things I need for the project I am working on tomorrow. I got back to Wal-Mart in time to help Cheri with groceries and I waited for the medicine. By the time we got everything done and home it was after 2:00 pm. I settled in to watch the NASCAR race when I got a text from Mike next door wanting to know if I wanted to fly my drone. So we headed to the back yard to fly. Mike gave me some good pointers as I have never flowing one before. Actually I did pretty well. I did crash one time but no damage. Then it was back to the race and then the Green Bay Packer football game with the Texas Cowboys. I knew it was going to be a hard fought game and the Packers came away with a win with 11 seconds left in the game. Cheri even got existed watching some of the game. Darren sent us some pictures and a video of Wyatt with his new firetruck, he is a busy little boy.

No work today as we had a few things to get caught up on.  We left the house at 9:30 am and went to Sam’s Club as Cheri wanted to get chicken salad and croissants to make lunch for Sunday school tomorrow. We had to go to Sam’s because she says that theirs are the best. Once again we bought other things that we hadn’t planned on so our chicken salad and croissants cost us $168. This seems to happen everything we go there. When we got home Cheri went to the sewing room to continue working on the mattress covers and has them just about done. I went for a haircut and then to Lowe’s to check out a few things that might work to do the fan project next Friday. We are still have a problem with the bedroom TV so I tried using a different cable and a different input, now it is a wait and see what the results will be. Jerry and Cookie (Sunday school friends) picked us up to go out for dinner at the Texas Road House in Wesley Chapel. My steak was really good, Cheri’s not good, Jerry’s was good, and cookie’s was overdone and had to have another one grilled for her.  We were back home by 8:00 pm, just in time for me to settle in and watch the Wisconsin Badgers play Nebraska. The Badgers came away with a win but had to work for it. Cheri went to bed before the game was over and it was after 11:00 pm before I got to bed.

I was on the road to Dade City at 6:10 am to meet with my accountability group for breakfast and Bible study. I got home a little after 8:00 am. Cheri left at 8:30 am for her hair cut appointment. While she was gone I went over to Jean’s to remove a light bulb base that was broken off in the light socket. Cheri was back by 9:30 am and I headed to work. I had another really good day. I got cabinets hung in the laundry room, two wire racks put up in the garage, and a shelf installed for the golf cart charger. Then checked out an additional project that I may be doing there. It was a little past 4:00 pm when I got home. I was tired but felt good and felt even better after a long hot shower. Cheri worked all day on making the mattress covers for Wyatt’s Pack & Play. Cheri also made us Clam chowder for dinner along with some dessert that Jean next door made for us. I got a call from Bob this evening and it looks like I have a couple more jobs to do. I will call and check on them tomorrow. We called Kari (daughter) this evening and wished her a happy birthday.

I told Cheri this morning that I was excited about going back to work. I left the house at 8:00 am. I had a good day and everything went well. I installed a new electrical outlet outside the garage running wiring from the electrical panel and all had to be in conduit, big job but went smoothly. Next I moved the sprinkling system control box from the back of the house to the side of the garage where I installed the new electrical outlet. I had to dig up the control cable and bring it up into the control panel and rewire it. It was a little past 1:00 pm when I got done with that project. Next I removed a wire shelf from the laundry room above the washer and dryer. Tomorrow I will be hanging cabinets in the laundry room. On the way home I stopped at Lowe’s to pick up a few things I am going to need tomorrow. It was after 3:00 pm when I got home and was tired but felt good about my days’ work. I was ready for a good hot shower and then the recliner. Cheri had been busy doing her usual Thursday house work and was in her recliner reading a book when I got home. She fixed us pork chops and dirty rice for dinner. I didn’t watch very much TV before I was asleep, so we headed off to bed at 8:00 pm. We watch some more TV in bed.
