A new month starts...

Friday, November 1, 2013

Today started very early this morning.  Ron got me up to take him to work.  He had decided that he didn't really want me driving Josh's car around too very much (around town was okay, but not further afield), and since I had to drive to Georgetown today, he wanted me to drive his truck.  Thus, I needed to take him to work.  And, NO, he wasn't about to drive Josh's car.  HE doesn't drive other people's vehicles.  don't ask me - he's a man.
So, up at 4, we leave at 4:15, and he talks and talks and talks about deer all the way.  Ron - I am NOT stupid, okay??  But..I bite my tongue.  Again.  I get back home, and back to bed I go.  Of course, I can't go right back to sleep.  But, I leave the light off, and eventually do fall back asleep.  I have the alarm set for 10, and yes, it goes off way too soon.  But I get back up, get dressed and off I go to do the things that need done today.
First off, I go to church.  Today is All Saint's Day, which makes sense because yesterday all the ghosts and goblins ran amok, today we honor the saints.  See?
After church, I went to Frisch's for lunch with some friends and we sat there for over an hour - yipes! - didn't mean to do that, but what can I say?  I had a Big Boy and a bowl of veggie soup with 4 crackers.   I also had some cole slaw - about half a serving, but it didn't taste that great today.  We sat there and talked and talked and laughed and had a great time.
When I left there, I went to Family Dollar to see what kind of stuff I could find on clearance.  Hey, it's after Halloween now.   As I'm leaving there, Ron calls to say he's done with work now - can I come get him?  What?  It's just going on 3!  Amazing!  On a Friday!  I ask him if he wants clothes, so he can go with me and do visiting, which is why I was going to Georgetown early this afternoon anyway.  He finally agrees, so now I have to drive back out home and get him some clothes.  Sigh.  But, still, good, cause now he's coming home already!  I go back out home (play car merry-go-round, too, so we can park Ron's truck in the premium spot LOL) and get him clothes and pack him stuff to do (word search books and his DS) while I do some visiting - I knew he wouldn't do it all.  And off I went again.
I go pick him up first - he changes right there in the parking lot (his truck doors each open out, so he is blocked in) and off we go, first to the hospital, then to Villa.  We soon find out that I FORGOT the bag of stuff for him 'to do' - imagine that, I forgot something.  eeeerrrrrgggggg.  Then it's time to go to SaveALot to meet Jean bringing Corgan.  Well, we are shopping and she is meeting us, but it's time for us to be there.  That was our meeting time, so we had to be there.  Can't risk throwing the earth off-balance, ya know.

So, they get there, and we get done shopping.  We stand in the parking lot talking and we finally leave.  After we get home, Corgan picks out a movie (Predator) and our evening begins.  After a while, we each make our own supper - I had three fried eggs, walnuts, and a cinnamon blossom.  We had a very pleasant evening together.  I've been on the pute, they've been watching TV, Ron mostly through his eyelids as usual.

Today gets five stars for food - I was considerably under on my calories!  And I'm giving it two stars for exercise.  I did a LOT of walking, between all the places I went, and all the ins and outs, and all that.  I think I did a fair bit of walking, and so I am claiming it!
