I woke up yesterday morning thinking it
was Thursday. I was wrong! It was Chore day.
It's one of those days not found on a
calendar but, rather, on your wife's "Honey Do
List."
And, if you expect to have a Thursday, you'd
better get Chore day out of the way!
I began with some simple errands. Dropping
off some donations to the Rescue Mission,
mailing a letter and buying some stamps, and
providing transportation for my wife's hair
appointment.
I did so well my wife decided we should take
on a few other pre-winter tasks.
There were plastic covers to be placed over our
front porch screens. They fit perfectly..once given a
little encouragement with a hammer and screwdriver!
There was an air conditioner to be removed from
a bedroom window. All you have to do is move
curtains to one side, close the accordion doors on the
unit, lift the window (without allowing the air
conditioner to fall out), and grab and lift the 50
pound unit safely unto the floor. This is all done
simultaneously with your two hands!
Having checked off the errands and the To Do
list I faced the need to crawl under our house to shut
off the water line which feeds our garden hose.
Negotiating the route is a little like crawling on
hands and knees through a small dark tunnel shared
by cob webs and spiders while trying to avoid cracking
your head on the steel beams just inches above.
I elected, instead, to use my head for thinking! I
called in the "Marines" in the form of my small and
nimble 10 year old grandson who had the valve turned
faster then I could say "watch out for the spiders!"
All the errands run and chores complete, I was able
to salvage Thursday evening and get ready for today!
Hope your list is all checked and your NEWS is
all good!
