Change of plans! I was going to do some yard work this morning. The slight chance of rain wasn't supposed to happen until this afternoon sometime. I've hauled the yard tools around to the front yard a few minutes ago, and stepped inside to change into my yard work clothes. While I was changing, the rain came. Darn it. Things are now soaked out there. Now I need to put away the tools, change my clothes again, and reschedule that yard work.

This has been one good Monday in the Roscoe-verse. Though nothing particularly outstanding happened, I was able to handle all assigned chores without any real problems. And the few minor problems that would have sometimes caused me major stress, didn't today. They resolved quickly and easily.

Today was surprisingly productive. As soon as the morning heat dried the grass enough, I mowed the front yard. Mostly. There's still a bit of touch up and trim to take care of, but that'll be easy to take care of over the next few days. As it stands now, the front yard looks much, much better.

A decision has been made. All day I've been trying to decide what my night's TV viewing will be: shall I watch the Pacers / Knicks NBA Game, or shall I watch tonight's Svengoolie?
I do consider myself a Pacers fan, and I do hope they win tonight, but I also want to enjoy a good night's sleep. NBA basketball is really exciting to watch, too exciting for me to watch so close to my bedtime. So with the hope going to bed with a relaxed, calm state of mind, I'll be closing out my Saturday night's TV watching with Svengoolie.

Tonight's WNBA game between the Indiana Fever and the Connecticut Sun is almost ready to start. It will be interesting to see how the Fever is adjusting to the absence of Caitlin Clark, who is sidelined with a leg injury.

20 minutes away from NBA Basketball, Pacers vs Knicks. I plan to watch at least the 1st half of the game, and I hope to be able to watch the whole thing before getting too tired and crashing.

Earlier today I learned that the Public Rosary Service I was scheduled to lead this Friday, has been rescheduled for 13 June. I'm totally fine with that; it frees up this coming weekend and gives me more time to prepare.
Watching WNBA now, the Indiana Fever playing without Caitlin Clark vs the Washington Mystics.

Today was a catch-up day. I was able to catch up on chores from yesterday that didn't get done on Monday as they usually do.
Watching the Pacers / Knicks game now, hoping it won't have me too excited to fall asleep at bedtime.

What a strange day this has been! Huge blocks of time filled with activities not usually taking place on Monday.. Took the wife out for lunch at a favorite restaurant, which was nice, but took nearly two hours in the middle of the day when I'd ordinarily be handling common chores.
Expecting serious weather tonight, I took a portable power bank out of storage, set it up, and tested it. It was necessary to crawl under furniture, unplug appliances, move furniture around, etc. in order to set everything up. And that took a few hours when I'd ordinarily be doing other things.
Here we are now at nearly bedtime. Whew! Think I'll take some time to relax before putting my head to pillow.

It's almost time for tonight's Pacers / Knicks game. Hope I can stay awake to watch the whole thing, but my day started really early, so... And that bed against wall is looking so inviting. We'll see.
