Draggin....

Another cool morning in the low 70's...I wish it would stay this way all day...

Woke up later than normal this morning...hubby left at 7 am and I chose to sleep in. It was almost 9 am before I finally dragged out of bed. I'm just flat out tired. Guess its just a combination of age (did I say that?), cooler weather and everything in general just catching up to me. The worst part is I'm still tired and the body is all achy and catchy as if I'd been doing really strenuous work....which I haven't.

The vacuum cleaner ended up kicking my butt yesterday...I sat on the floor with it apart for over two hours as I had to cut the hair, thread and gunk from around the ends of the roller brush. By the time it was back together, I could barely move....just the way I was sitting on that floor. Worst part....the roller brush seems to have wallered out on the belt end and that's where the noise is originating...where the bearing rides inside the brush is wallered so bad its letting it flop around a bit as it spins. The down side is this roller brush is NOT listed on the replacement parts list...great..and I really liked this vacuum. Guess I'll be calling the company later today to see what I can do.

Never did make it to the back room yesterday...was still working on the vacuum when hubby came home. Opted to make supper instead of heading outside with him....we ended up having leftover Split Pea and ham soup and I made a pan of cornbread.....OMG!!! The cornbread was awesome. I added 1/4 cup of Sack Meade in addition to the milk....(Sack Meade is a pure honey meade...no additional flavorings)...The bread not only smelled wonderful as it cooked, it tasted absolutely heavenly...I could have made my meal entirely of the cornbread. After we finished supper, I decided to make brownies for something sweet. Must have been my night for cooking as these came out really good as well. Now if I can just keep my hands out of them...ya'll know I could eat the entire batch by myself....grin.

Sounds like the mail has run, guess I'll wander to the end of the driveway and see what junk mail was left....all my bills come online. Maybe the walk will do me good. Its such a beautiful day....
