A long sad day

Wednesday, October 16, 2013

Today started out quite well.  First off, last night when I went to bed, instead of taking NyQuill (again), I put Vicks Vaporub all over my chest, under my nose, and up my nose, hoping that would help.  Something different, you know.  I slept all right, not great - only NyQuill does that - but okay.  No carry-on dreams until the get-up-and-go-pee started around 2 or so.  I ended up getting up right around 10 this morning, which is pretty darn good for me.
As I was playing on the pute, catching my games up, I got a text from my sister that "it is over."  Oh, my.  I had texted her when I got up and he was still doing okay!  Geez.  I am so sad to hear of his passing, but so glad that he is out of his pain and suffering.  He has deserved his rest.  After a couple of texts, I get dressed and head downtown to pick her up and take her home.

I grabbed a serving of walnuts and a banana to eat on the way for my lunch.  I got her (and my niece), got them home in Winchester - which is a 46-mile trip down 32, then stopped at a c-store and comforted myself with a bag of Munchos and Reese's Cups to nosh on for the trip home.  I was starting to droop.

So, another day with no exercise, and not the best eating, but I stayed under my calorie count for the day, even including the nut bar I'm going to eat when I go to bed.

Today will get four stars for food - I am under on calories, but it wasn't good for me food.  Zero for exercise for one more day.  I am hoping to get on that new bike tomorrow.  At least for a few minutes.
