Fried may be pitcher of the month. Or maybe Sale (it was both). Or that rookie for the Pirates.
Wednesday I left work at noon and drove thru Taco Bell. Took until almost 1 pm to get home. Then worked until almost 8 pm. So much to do.
Supper was eggs and sausage and grits and toast. After supper I went back and played on my laptop in the dining room, since I had it hooked up to the big screens. Looked liked the Fever were in it until the end. Caitlin set the record for most 20 point road games to start a career.
Thursday: up early to hit the gym. Treadmill. Wednesday was weights. Worked past 6 pm. Ceil stayed late babysitting. I walked and fed Winnie, made me quesadillas for supper, and watched Jerry Seinfeld’s new movie “Toasted”. Silly but good. Ceil got home in time for the season finale of Elsbeth.
Up early this AM to lift weights. Trying to get stuff done at work before heading out on vacation. Got my in box down to 12 emails, the lowest all week. Still too many. Need to cut the grass tonight.
