Stormy, stormy night

We had a storm and a half last night.  Major lighting and wind!  The power went out twice...once for about 2 hours and later for about half an hour.  It's still raining now, just not storming.

When I went out to get the newspaper a while ago I found the front yard covered with moss and small limbs from the pecan trees.  I got all of the big stuff up and out to the curb, I figure the little stuff makes it look more like Fall!

A couple or three weeks ago I hurt my left shoulder, not sure exactly which activity did it, or if it was a combination of everything...I turned my mattress, pruned some trees and shrubs, carried a couple of cases of pet food as well as a couple of heavy bags of dry pet food, carried a couple of cases of water and took 5-6 heavy bags or magazines out for recycling as well as the normal day to day stuff.  Woke up the next morning almost unable to move.  Yesterday it was better, not gone, but better.  I'm sure it's just needing rest and time.  I keep forgetting that I'm not as young as I once was and there are probably some things I shouldn't do.  Dang!!

Tomorrow is my day to host bridge.  I had planned one menu, but didn't get to the store yesterday.  So, this morning I went through my pantry and freezer and came up with food...not what I planned, but it'll work.  I sure wish we would do the eating thing and the visiting thing without the bridge thing.  I'm such a poor player that it's almost painful!

The rain seems to have let up quite a bit.  Maybe I'll make a try for the grocery store!
