130. Nasruddin is Tired
“Go to the market and buy some meat for tonight’s stew!” said Nasruddin’s wife.
“I’m tired,” he complained, but he went to the market.
Later on she said, “Bring in some firewood!”
“I’m tired,” he groaned, but he brought in the firewood.
Next she told him, “Fetch some water!”
“Didn’t you hear me say I was tired?” he moaned, but he brought the water.
“Come eat dinner!” she said.
“I can see there’s no point in telling you how tired I am,” Nasruddin sighed, and then he raced to the dinner table so fast he almost tripped over his robes.

We had strong winds last Monday with some light rain during the night. Continued forecast for showers Tuesday morning with the temperatures in the 40s so I thought it was not a good time to get wet. Took the day off and considered it a rest day.
I went shopping in Willcox this morning with my first stop at Safeway for a few groceries. Then went to the Plaza restaurant to see if they might be open and found that they open at 8:00 rather than the times shown on the internet. I probably won’t be giving them a third try. Went to the KOA Roadrunner Kafe which was my second choice and found them closed because they have had a fire. The last choice was Country Pride which was open but they are the most expensive, do not have big flour tortillas for toast and only hash browns no home fries. I have not had great luck with restaurants in Willcox!
