Ugh.....this C O L D....

Monday, March 24, 2014

I went to bed early last night (before eleven!) and, since I had taken NyQuil, it didn't take me long to go to sleep.  I woke this morning to the alarm going off -- it was set for nine.  Ugh.  I had to get up, get up to the grocery store, come back home and make the 7-layer salad for the funeral luncheon and get it back uptown to the church around eleven.  Well, I ended up a few minutes late, but I made it!
I helped get the Center set up, although by the time I got there, they didn't need much more help.  I did what I could, and then came back home.

I zapped a mackerel patty for my lunch, which I enjoyed on that herb bread leftover from our picnic yesterday.  No sides, either!  How about that?  I played on the pute while eating my lunch, catching up my games and trying to figure out how to move the emails I have been saving.  I have decided it's time to quit paying AOL for email, so I am going to move to yahoo, but I don't want to lose these emails that I saved over the years.  Ugh!  Sometimes technology sucks. Anyway, after all of this, my email will now be RonandRitaO58@yahoo.com (instead of @aol.com as it has been all these years).  Please change your address books accordingly, if you already had it, and add it if you want it.
I couldn't figure anything out, so I finally got off the pute, and sat in my recliner reading until Josh stopped after work to help me.

After Josh left -- of course it didn't take him very long to get me on the 'new' track -- I was busy putting things where I wanted them now, and that kept me busy until after Ron got home.  I had put the leftover lasagna into the oven, set very low (200) to get warm for supper tonight, and it had been cooking for over two hours and smelled wonderful!  I put the last two pieces of garlic bread in my handy-dandy potato baker and popped them in the microwave and guessed at the time, and burned the living shit out of everything.  I ruined my potato pouch!!!!  DAMMIT!!!   Oh, Mr. Easter Bunny!!    Ron was pissed at me and even hollered at me, "couldn't you smell that thing burning?"  "No, I can't smell anything!!!!!" was my answer.  He took the potato pouch and threw it out the front door.  (I did go out and check it later, and yep, the pouch itself was burned.  Phooey!)
So, anyway, then we had no garlic bread to go with our lasagna.  Ron complained off and on of the smell all night, but I didn't (and still don't) smell a thing.  I guess, in this case, that's a good thing!

Putting my food into MFP, I end up about 275 calories short for the day.  I adjusted my weight after I finished with the food part, and according to MFP, I now only should have 1470 calories per day!  I suppose that will be okay, since I'm short a lot of the time anyway...

My ribs hurt from coughing.  I can't pull a deep breath.  I can't breathe through my nose.  I can't stop coughing.  I think the whole bottle (well, what's left of it) of NyQuil is calling me tonight.   I don't think I will be setting my alarm and getting up and driving at 7am, as I had planned, so no one will have to worry about me!    I am so sorry to let you down, Ruth.
