Well it took us a little longer then we planned and we didn't get as much as we wanted to, but we did get some much needed yard work done. When we were out yesterday, I bought a few more flower bulbs. I know where all the bulbs are to be planted.

Got about an eighth of an inch of rain over night. I think some parts of the area got hit with some worse weather then what we got. I will admit that I am happy that we got some rain lately. First we do need it, secondly it helps everything and everything is greening up now. It really looks nice out.

Tried to get the mower started and couldn't. I don't know whats wrong with it. Really don't want to spend the money to get a new one, but before I go out and get a new one I want to try one last thing.

Need to plant bulbs this week and also do some house work. So it will be a busy week.

Got three quarters of an inch of rain yesterday. Because of the amount of rain lately, we will be going to the laundromat for the second week in a row. Hopefully, we don't have to go every week or even every other week. Maybe sometime this coming week or so I can get some stuff done at home.

Have been having strange dreams, depression and some low energy lately.

Will do the laundry and a couple other things Saturday and on Sunday we will do some yard work. At some point I need to plant some more flower bulbs.

Late Monday and early today we got some rain and even a bit of hail. Rain total was three quarters of an inch. So laundry is out, for at least today.

Have a few things to do this week and really don't feel like doing any of it.

From Thursday afternoon until sometime early this morning we got almost one and a quarter inches of rain. Most of the rain came in waves and we did get a heavy downpour early this morning. We need it and the flowers do too.

Thankfully I am mostly over the cold I had last week. Still have a slight persistent cough, but that is it. My allergies are taking over now.

Due to the rain and Mom being slightly backed up on laundry, we are going to the laundromat tomorrow. I was able to get a couple loads of my own things done earlier in the week, so I am not too backed up. Will get a load of sheets done though and maybe some clothes in one big load.

After we get through with the laundromat we will come home and rest. Then we will go to the Pet Expo we found out about a couple days ago, have lunch out and then get groceries before heading back home. Think we have another errand or two to do while we are out.

Sunday Mom is going to paint the bathroom. We got some nice paint at the local hardware store. The walls are going to be a pale pink and the ceiling will be a nice white. Since the room has no windows, we don't want a dark color in there.

I painted the hallways a light yellow last week. Hopefully this will be the last of the painting for a while.

Both Mom and I have colds. Usually one gets it and gives it to the other, but not this time. So it will be a miserable weekend.

The total for the rain this week is one and a quarter inches of rain. The flowers that have bloomed look wonderful and the there are more ready to pop.

Well I am so glad I decided to do a load of laundry yesterday. It started raining sometime early this morning after Mother Nature has teased us with the chance for rain many times lately. So far we have gotten three quarters of an inch. And it looks like we might get a bit more. Its good for all the blooming stuff, not so good for doing laundry.

Feel like I am coming down with something. I don't feel too bad, so I should be able to do the painting in the hallways today.

Charlton Heston has died. Although I do like a couple movies he was in and make it a habit to catch a little bit of the Ten Commandments every year, I didn't really care for him. To me he just gave wooden performances. It was like the same thing in every role, with maybe minor differences.

Arthur C Clarke has also passed away. I am not sure if I mentioned it recently. I read the entire 2001 series and my favorite book is probably Childhoods End. Will have to get my copy of it out and start reading it.

Have a nice day yesterday. We saw two movies, 21 and Leatherheads, did a little shopping and had dinner at Red Lobster. It was a nice but long day. 21 was alright, a little slow at times but alright. Leatherheads was really good. This makes the first time we have seen a movie all years. Hopefully there will be other movies worthy of being seen this year.

Forty years ago, Martin Luther King was killed while in Memphis. His legacy still lives on and he will never be forgotten, but I wonder what the world would be like today if he had only been wounded instead of killed.

Was certain sometime in the past few days we would get rain, but we got nothing really. It misted a little and that was it. Have mixed feelings, as always, about the rain. When we get too much rain in a short period of time is when I really don't care for rain. Although I need to do some laundry tomorrow, I wouldn't mind if we got some rain. Wouldn't want to get too much though.

Mom had Friday off. We really didn't do too much with the weekend. Got some cleaning done, bought some paint for the hallways, put tile down in the bathroom.

Because there hasn't been a movie come out yet that we really had to see yet. But this weekend we are going to have some fun. We will have some lunch (or dinner out, maybe both), see a movie or two, do a little shopping and just have some fun.
