Ugh. The word for today.

Wednesday, January 15, 2014

I didn't feel very good when I got up this morning.  Ugh.  I don't like it when I don't feel very good first off - it just makes the day weird.  I had things to do today -- play Happy Homemaker, make phone calls, run uptown, this and that, and I just didn't even feel like getting dressed, like alone do anything else.  Ugh.

I made myself get started on the dishes, and I did get them done, sitting in my recliner and reading instead of getting on the pute and playing between the loads, as I usually do.  Ron called me and chivvied me into eating something for lunch, and I finally ate a turnip.  When it was time to run uptown to do the errand I had to do today (play treasurer for the Altar Society), I went and got dressed and did that, but still really didn't feel like it.
I did feel better after socializing a little - and that made me feel better.  Does that even make sense?
After that little bit of 'work' was done, I ran (okay, drove) down the road to pick up some flyers for our church's Quarter Auction coming up.  I am going to go out and try to solicit businesses into donating coupons, items, whatever for this so we have some goodies to add along with the parishioner's baskets to have plenty of things for people to bid on.  This is gonna be so much fun!  If you like Quarter Auctions, keep February 1st open!!

When I got home, Ron was home already - at 3:30 in the afternoon!  Wow!  Ah, well, winter is here.  It's wonderful having him home that early, but damn, is it rough on the paycheck. Ugh.
I got on the damn exercise bike and went half a mile.  That was enough - I couldn't stand any more!  Ugh.
Then Ron says, "Do you want to help me get these things put up?"  'These things' being the popcorn tins of Christmas stuff sitting in the hallway -- so I handed him all of the tins as he stacked them in the attic.  I may not have ridden the damn bike very long, but I got some evil E word in by bending and lifting and bending and lifting all those tins, let me tell you!  And now our hallway is a whole hallway again...

For his supper, I heated up the cabbage dish I made him last night - this one starts with a stick of butter, cook chopped onions in it; add shredded/chopped cabbage (cook for about 5 minutes on medium); add a can of diced tomatoes, smoked sausage, and the spices of your choice.  Simmer, covered, for 20-30 minutes.  I make this one in my Dutch Oven cast iron skillet, too.   He really liked it tonight - he didn't last night, said it wasn't done enough.
I made myself 2 grilled cheese sandwiches (3 slices of Colby Jack cheese each) and a bowl/can of tomato soup for my supper.

I talked to my friend Bert, and we set up a day next week to spend at Teresa's and hang out, since we got frozen out of our last hang-out day.  Yay!
We watched TV for the evening, and I played on the pute.  WhooHoo.  Life in the fast lane here.  Ugh.

When I put my food into MFP, I was 400+ calories short for the day, so I decided I'd better eat a nut bar when I go to bed.  Although it's not enough to make MFP holler at me, it was very full of carbs and I don't want to chance a sugar low.  Adding the nut bar made me be just under 300 short for the day.  I really like that number.

Ugh. Ugh. Ugh.  I hope I feel a bit better tomorrow.
I think I will - I think it was just residuals in my brain from yesterday morning, but now I have things to look forward to once again!
