I Love My Couch

Although I sometimes wish I wasn't sitting on the couch so often (like the last nine months), yesterday I LOVED my couch.  I got up, fed the dogs and hit the cushions.  I even took a break from my cushion sitting to eat one of those Reeses candy bars I got for free.

 Pretty soon, although rested a little, I required a trip to the grocery store.  The kids were out of necessities.  I had plenty of lean cuisines for me, but Jonathan seeds and puppy food were at a minimum.  It was eye opening to discover just how tired I was.  Maybe it was lack of brain cell usage, but my ATM pin number escaped me.  

Talk about a senior moment ... I had to use my credit card.  Of course just as I signed my name, I remembered the number.  I'm sure that was from lack of use.  It's been over a month, which means I need to get back to shopping.  Overuse will surely help me remember.

My latest treasure trove of phony coffee did not come from that trip.  Quite by accident I found a package of four at Walmart Online.  You could order two, which of course I did.  Then I did it again and again until my cupboard was full.  I was ecstatic since I was down to three cans.

 

Back to the couch I went where I lounged for most of the day.  That's when I remembered to check the skunk trip.  Was I successful?  Wait for it ......................... YES!  The trap was sprung!  My first thought was what the heck do I do now?  Where am I going to take it?

I picked it up, hearing nothing.  I walked all the way back to the house to get a flashlight so I could see inside.  Oh DARN!!  Nothing.  The sly creature had escaped.  The good news is there were no more holes in my fence line.  I reset the trap with peanuts this time.  I think maybe the skunks are smarter than me.
 

And so my long day of rest ended.  I wish I had three more, but there are small 50-100 kid schools coming every day this week.  It will be 8:30 to 7:00 for the next twelve days.  I just keep thinking of the money and how fun it is to drive the tractor.
