A run-around Friday....beats Saturday, I guess

Friday, October 18, 2013

Today, I woke up right around 10.  This seems to be getting to be a habit.  I guess that's not a bad thing, is it?  I laid there and read a bit, until quarter til 11 or so, then got up and started paying the bills for the week - I figured I had about an hour before I had to meet my sister and niece uptown, and  should be able to mail them off when I went uptown.  Well, Ruth texted me at 11:30 - "we are uptown" instead of the 11:45 I was expecting, so everything was in warp speed suddenly for me.  I had to go get dressed, drive uptown, meet them, THEN drive to the funeral home for the meeting, instead of just meeting them AT the funeral home, but that was okay.  I just didn't expect it.  Ruth said they just didn't want to take the chance getting stuck behind farm machinery on the way over, and that is definitely a possibility this time of year on the roads between here and there - or there and here, as the case may be.

The meeting at the funeral home went well.  Everything got situated for Monday - I was just glad they didn't try for Saturday, I am so used to thinking of the "3 day rule" funeral homes work with.  I guess I can relax my mind a little on that score...maybe.  We'll see, next time I have to deal with something of that nature.  Just thinking about it makes me uptight.

After we leave there, they head for home, and I head on down the road.  My agenda?  Easy!
Here ya go:
Grocery shopping at WalMart
Oil Change at Valvoline
Lunch
Gasoline
Few items at Kroger
Rx at Walgreens

How's that for some running around?
Luckily, or UNluckily, I forgot to call in the Rx, so I can cross that one off the list.  Yay.  I get the others done, one by one, unfortunately doing the big shopping at WalMart first.  I guess I was thinking I wanted to get the biggest job done first - but I should have saved that for last, since I bought perishables.  Duh.  Good thing I keep a hot/cold bag in the car!  But, I got it all done eventually, going to Lee's Famous Recipe for my lunch after the oil change.  I had the 3-piece strips lunch with wedges and green beans.  A lot of carbs, but what with shopping, and it was AFTER 3, I thought it would work out okay.

Ron called me at about quarter til six - he was on his way home from work with Corgan, and he wanted me to meet him over in Felicity at FeedMill for supper.  Well.  O-Kay.  Off I go again.  Believe it or not, I am not really hungry, but I ordered me a cup of Vegetable Beef Soup for my supper.  I dug out all (well, most) of the gigantic hunks of tomatoes out of it - I can't STAND those in foods! - and really enjoyed it.  I did crunch up 6 crackers (3 of those little packs) into it, so there wasn't any juice.

Needless to say, I am plenty under my calories for the day.  I am hoping for no sugar low tonight, but if I have one, I will not be surprised.

Today is getting 5 stars for food, and 4 for exercise.
