7/12

Today was a another 'normal' day for me - I forgot it was Saturday!  When I woke up, Ron and Corgan were gone - they had gone to work on a lawnmower for a buddy of Ron's - and I just went about the day as I do any other day.
When they finally got home, Ron took me took my friend Bert's house, so that she could finally cut my hair.  I have been asking her for about a month to come here and cut my hair, but she takes care of her mother and hadn't been able to yet.  I was sooooooo glad to get it cut! Remember how I went on about bedhead and all that back before Easter?  Well, this is/was another month's worth of hair and I was going crazy about it going every which where, but I had to wait for the right time.  And now the right time is here - hooray!
After that, we came back home and ate some lunch.  We all peanut butter sandwiches.  I had orange marmalade with mine, Ron had Miracle Whip with his (I almost did that!) and Corgan wouldn't listen to us, so he had real mayonnaise with his.  He also had to put more peanut butter on his sandwich, because he wouldn't listen to us when he spread his peanut butter bread, either.  Sigh.  One day he'll figure out that his grandparents really do know what they are talking about!
We started talking about supper - Josh and family were supposed to come up to get Corgan - and I had a text from Josh, saying we could, of course, come down there (and swim again), too, and we had to decide what we wanted to do.  Ron didn't want to drive any more, so going down there was out, and it seemed silly for them to drive up here again today, so I called Josh and asked him about Corgan spending the night again and then Josh can pick Corgan up in Georgetown tomorrow morning (we had already decided that's where we're going after church) instead of driving here.  He agreed to that, so we settled down for the evening.

Ron and Corgan watched movies, and I stayed in the bedroom, reading and playing my DS, as usual.  I did come out later in the evening to get on the pute, but that was it.
A very enjoyable day and evening!


7/13

Ron went to church this morning, and I had Corgan get his stuff together, so when Ron got back, we'd be ready to go.  I got up and got my shower and all, so I was ready.  He got back, and we're walking out the door, and Corgan says, "Granny, you were supposed to do your Wii."  Well, shit.  Yes, I had forgotten to weigh in yesterday (because I forgot it was Saturday) and was supposed to do it first thing this morning, and I forgot again.  Luckily, Corgan remembered before we left.  Unluckily, we had to wait to leave until I got done weighing in!  Also, unluckily, I gained a little over a pound!  Yuck.  I've been exercising, I've been using myfitnesspal again.  What's up with gaining?  That's not right!!
We finally hit the road, and went up to Georgetown to Country Inn to eat.  We haven't been there in probably three months, and I was so ready for one of those big breakfasts.  Ron, of course, got his fried chicken, and Corgan got a bowl of chili and a grilled cheese, which was a very good choice since he put on a white T-Shirt this morning.  Silly boy!  Josh showed up to get Corgan as we were finishing our meal(s), and he sat and talked to us for a bit before we all left.

Ron and I came home, and when he turned onto Jones-Florer Road, he stopped the truck and let me drive.  Finally!  I drove the rest of the way home, and, yes, it did hurt my back a little, but every time I try something 'new,' it hurts for a while.  I do have to try things, though, to know whether or not I can do them.  After we got home, we just hung around and didn't really do a damn thing.  He watched TV (after going out in the garage for half an hour or so), and I stayed mostly in the bed, with bouts of getting up and getting on the pute, just like every day.

Around 8:30, I said something to Ron about supper.  I was going to make me some soup, and asked if he wanted something, and he said that he had eaten a couple of those small pizzas.  So that was our supper.  Pizza for him and chicken noodle soup for me.  WhooHoo.

All in all, it was a nice lazy weekend, and I can certainly take those!
