Chilly, rainy day.

Today was a kinda strange day.  First off, I slept VERY WELL.  Seven hours straight - no get-up-and-pee, no dreams, no nothing - very strange for me.  I felt real good when I woke up around 10.  I read a bit, then got up by 11.  Played happy homemaker for a while, even did some Wii (just 5 minutes of Free Step), then got on pute and played my games. I ate my lunch (chicken salad, walnuts, and a turnip) around 1:30.
I was cold all day, and just could not get warm.  I had turned the heat up twice and didn't want to turn it up again - Ron would just come home and turn it down - so I eventually (around 5) just went in, put BOTH quilts over the bed and snuggled in and took a nap.  Sure enough, I was asleep when he got home and had worried him a bit when I didn't answer his text that he was on his way.  I sure didn't mean to do that, but I didn't even hear my phone go off, and it was right beside me!
I did feel a little better after my nap, but I still wanted HOT food for supper, so after exploring the cabinets, we decided to make out throw-together Spam casserole.  That's mac&cheese, Spam cut into cubes, and this time we added a can of corn.  WhooHoo.  At least it was hot, though.  It was tasty, too.  I was really bad and went back for seconds.  I haven't done that in a long, long time.  I ate a serving - well, a serving and a half - of mellocremes for a snack during TV.  That's 12 pieces.  I thought it was one serving, but when I went to put it in myfitnesspal, a serving was only 8 pieces, so...bummer.  Oh, well, I'll survive.

I also made some big decisions today.  I decided what to get the bride-to-be for her bridal shower this Sunday.  I decided what to get for 'gifts' for our GGG (Girls Gatlinburg Getaway) in November.  I decided NOT to cry when my DIL told me they explained the whole Santa thing to our grandson....which was not easy, let me tell you!  I did tear up, but, hey, I'm the granny!

Today is getting three stars for food - I was bad, had two helpings of supper, and 1.5 snack servings.  It was good food, HOT food, but I was weak.  Exercise only gets two stars - I only did the five minutes of Free Step.  I meant to get on the exercise bike after Ron got home, but just never did.

I'm cold.  I'm going to bed.  Thank God for flannel nightgowns!
