the weekend
Sep. 24th, 2017 07:22 pmAs mentioned, I planted the new garden yesterday.
After that we went to The HobNob supper club, south of Racine. We met Heather and Greg. I can't remember, was it an early birthday for Greg? We sat there just about all night. Appetizer, salad, soup, entree, dessert. Supper Clubs are an all-night sort of thing. But there's also a lot of food. If I'd stopped after the soup, I would have felt like I'd had a meal, but I would have needed a snack later at night. But then I had a big steak. It wasn't huge, but it was a lot of meat for me. When I was done with that, I was full. But then Cyn ordered dessert - ice cream with brandy poured over it. Not my favorite thing, but she wanted to split it. I don't think I had half of it, but I was practically in pain afterwards. Recently I decided that instead of a sugary dessert, I'd just have a glass of Scotch as my dessert. But even more recently, I decided I needed to cut down on that stuff. Maybe I should have had another old fashioned instead.
We got home around 10:00. After a while I went on the NordicTrac to try to burn off some of that food. I think I finally went to bed at 2:00.
I haven't had much to eat today. A peanut butter sandwich, a couple of handfuls of trail mix, and apple, and a hunk of leftover roast beef.
I was going to work in the yard all day today, and I did, but I didn't do either of my big tasks. I put off mowing the lawn. I was going to move an electrical cable. When the electricians ran power to the new shed, they buried a cable right across the middle of that part of the yard. I want to plant a tree right where the cable is, so I thought I'd dig it up, dig a new trench and move it. But when I dug down to where it is, I discovered that it's not a cable, it's in steel conduit. So now I'm mad at myself for not stopping them when they were digging, and having them route it off to the side. I'm not assertive enough with people like this. I saw the kid digging, and I wanted to tell him to do it elsewhere, but he'd already gotten part of the trench dug, and I wasn't certain about the three at that point. So now I have to put the tree closer to the concrete walk than I'd like.
Other than that, I just kinda putzed around the yard all day. Gaming was canceled. Cyn went to a wedding with a coworker in the late afternoon.
