Life in the slow lane

Monday we walked in the morning. The wooden bridge that is the bank of the dam that forms Lake Junaluska was closed so we had to go around a different way. We then went to the Open Door to serve the indigent. We have a good time doing that and are even getting to know some of the regulars. It is good to see so many of them looking for jobs. Unfortunately, they are limited in the area they can work because most of them don’t have cars and have to walk wherever they go. I know a couple of them could work at Taco Bell but can’t walk that far to work. The meal at the Open Door was not appealing so we went shopping for groceries and came home for lunch at 2:30. We continue eating leftovers. We always seem to have leftovers. Of course, they are delicious because Evelyn made most of them. We walked around the neighborhood trying to notify the remainder of the residents of the cook-out next Sunday. Each person will bring a dish. We had popcorn and ice cream before retiring. I have to work tomorrow.
Off to work. I did the usual except for getting my paycheck. It was not quite as much as I was expecting but the computer rules. I was very tired when I finished. Evelyn picked me up, and we came home. I have begun taking my daily shower after work because I think it better to be clean for my family than for the job site. Afterward, I went to the living room and fell asleep in my lazy boy. I can usually fight the sleep but not today. We ate what we had brought home Sunday from our lunch and then just vegetated until time to go to bed. Evelyn had a great day in that she got a permanent. She finally gave up looking and paid the $50 that had been quoted to her last week. Things are expensive around here. We are too accustomed to life in the Rio Grande Valley.
