the day busy

Today was a busy day. I removed weeds from flowerbeds. Trimmed back bushes. Moved flower pots around to where Sue wanted them. (She can't do it herself even a couple of years after her knee-replacement surgery.) Mowed the lawn. Put tools, dirt bags, and empty pots off the patio and into the shed. Took yardwork'sd branches to the dump. Dropped off stuff at Goodwill. Came home. Tired. Found a rat's lower half near the back door. Now reading "Suicide Kings" until it's time for dinner - two hot dogs for Sue, and the remaining five for me. Not sure what the evening will consist of. Probably more reading. Playing things by ear, but I know there will be coffee.

the packet at last

I just downloaded to my Nook the Hugo nominees I had not yet read. I'm not sure how long ago the electronic packet had been made available, because I never received an email saying "Come and get it!" or a variation thereof. Anyway. I've got myself some more reading to do as soon as I've finished "Suicide Kings".
