A nice sunny day

Thursday, April 24, 2014

Today started with the alarm clock going off, but I was already awake, laying there in bed reading.  I had set it just in case.  I was going to meet Lois to walk today, and I sure didn't want to be late.  When it went off, it scared the living crap out of me!  I got up soon after, took my pharmacy of pills and got dressed, then came out here and piddled around until time to leave.

After our walk, I came home and did a load of laundry, then didn't do much more the rest of the afternoon.  Of course, with it taking two and three go-rounds to dry each load, it takes a lot of time to 'do' a whole load of laundry.  There weren't enough dishes to warrant doing them - running a sinkful of water and using up dish soap - so, I'll let those go until tomorrow.  That leaves the little piddly things that get done, and playing on the pute, which I do so well.

Ron didn't get home from work until after 6:30, and was too tired to do anything but take his shower and chill out in his recliner.
I zapped the Johnny Marzetti from the fridge for our supper.  Since I hadn't gotten it out beforehand to get to room temperature, it took three separate zaps for a total of 8 minutes for it to be hot enough to eat!  Not that that's a humongous amount of time or anything, but it would have been much less if I had known to get it out of the fridge.
After we ate, I had Easter candy as my dessert.  Luckily, for me, I finished my bowl!  Yay!  It's all gone!
But, about an hour or so later, I'm hungry again.  Not so good, but that's what sugar (the real stuff) does to you - makes you want more - and that's what was happening to my body.  I got the Jell-O that was left from Easter Sunday and finished that off, and that seemed to hit the spot.

When I put my food and exercise into MFP, I was about 170 calories short for the day.  Yay!  Getting back to being 'normal' on those numbers is a wonderful thing to see!  I'm so glad the Easter Bunny was good to me, but I'm glad the Easter candy is all gone now, too!

Shopping tomorrow, as well as trying to figure out how to pay the rest of the bills for the month with the little bit of money available left after the grocery shopping and other little things that need bought, like stamps.  Ugh.
Ah, well.  I will do what I can, and it'll just have to be what it is.  I can't let myself worry about it, because I can't change it!
