A mostly normal day

Tuesday, October 1, 2013

Today was pretty much a normal day for a Tuesday.  Whew.  I didn't go to bed last night until late, staying up playing on the pute and then catching up my food for the weekend on myfitnesspal.com and my blog here for you guys (I sure hope you weren't too bored!).  The comments I got were referring to my age, or to my comments referring to my age, so I couldn't really tell.  Then, when I got to bed, 2ish, I couldn't sleep, so didn't even turn off my light until 4!  Yes, Ron't alarm was already going off.  I made myself turn the light off, and - luckily - I was asleep by the time he left.  I heard and felt him get up, but not leaving.

Believe it or not, I woke up this morning BEFORE 10.  TEN!!  I couldn't believe it, so I laid in bed and read until noon.  I saw no reason to get up quite that 'early.'  I did sleep good, and deep, and only got up once to pee, around 8.  I was kinda proud of myself.   You'd think I'd be sandpaper-eyed by now (11 pm) but I'm not.

My pute would not work when I got up.  Josh got me a Cincinnati Bengals wireless keyboard for my birthday, and we tried to install it yesterday.  It never did come on.  We plugged my old keyboard back in, and that's what I used last night.  When I went to bed last night, I unplugged the old one, so perhaps the new one could kick in overnight (it might have worked if I had left the pute on...maybe) but I turned the pute off, as usual.  When I tried the new one this morning, it didn't work, so I tried plugging the old one back in, but it didn't work either.  Great!  I had to go up to the library to get on the pute (maybe I SHOULD have gotten up a bit earlier...)  and Josh is gonna stop after work and see if he can figure something out.

I'm up at the library, on the pute, getting my games all caught up, which is definitely not part of a normal day.  I stop at the store, and realize that I haven't eaten lunch yet!  I get done there and go to the car wash - I also got Bengals stickers for my car as birthday gifts - as I wanted to get my new stuff on the car.  I get home, eat a can of my favorite chicken salad and piddle around waiting for Josh to get there, which wasn't all that long.  When he got here, he got to work here at the pute and I went into the kitchen and made Oreo balls for the bake sale at the church rummage sale this weekend.  Kept me busy and out of his hair, I figured, so why not?  I wasn't going to do them until Thursday, but it won't hurt to do them now.

Then I left to go to my TOPS meeting.  When I weighed in, I had LOST almost 3 pounds!  THREE!!  2.8 to be exact, but it was enough to be 'loser of the week' and I was surprised at that, too.   <<happy happy dance>>  I couldn't believe it!  I guess I DID do pretty darn good over the weekend.
Josh texted me right around 7 saying he was giving up for now and would try to figure something out about the new keyboard later.  Bummer! Oh, well, at least he got the old one working, so I could play on my own pute tonight.  When I got home, I made me some supper - I fried two eggs, and ate some tomatoes that I had chopped up, cutting off the bad spots.  Ron had taken some to go with his supper, and I ate the rest.  That was it.  Eggs and tomatoes.  I did eat a serving of a Special Dark bar (a giant one) left over from the weekend after my 'lunch' and I'm going to eat one (a serving) when I go to bed.  Believe me when I tell you - I am WAY under on my calories today.

Today gets five stars for food, and zero for exercise.  Between going uptown and Josh being here, it just didn't happen.
