Getting things done around here...

7/7

Happy Homemaker Day!  I got up this morning, did some dishes (just silverware, plates, and small bowls) and couldn't stand (literally) anymore, and so quit.  I also did a load of laundry (jeans), but I was surprised, because I only found 2 pair of my capris, Ron's black jeans, and 2 pair of his shorts, and I thought there was a heck of a lot more jeans than that dirty, but I couldn't find them - he must have done them in with a load of other stuff.
Other than doing those, it was a normal day of lying around.
For my lunch, I had a banana and a serving of walnuts.  Later in the afternoon, I got up and did a round of exercise - marching in place and bicep curls.  I didn't do the 'frog legs' because it's too hard for me to get up from being on my hands and knees - I will have to work those back in to my routine later on.

After Ron got home, we had supper, and I just had him make me a bowl of soup, and while we watched TV, I had a snack.  I had a pack (a 2-pk, not a package, smartasses) of Little Debbie Nutty Bars, which were left over from our little picnic at Chilo Park on Sunday.

I'm glad I got things done, but - damn.


7/8

I didn't do much today.  I did finish up the rest of the dishes, so now they are all done.  I put away the ones from yesterday first, so just these are in the dishdrainer now.
For my lunch, I had a peanut butter and orange marmalade sandwich.  No munchies - not even walnuts - which is weird, because I almost always have something like that, but I didn't and I don't know why.  Just one of those things.

When Ron got home, he took me up to my TOPS weigh-in, and I lost the 3 pounds that I gained last week.  Hip, hip, hooray!  That's a start, anyway.
Afterward, we went up to Arby's and got our supper - I didn't want to dirty up any dishes at home!  We both got the chicken salad wrap and baked potatoes.  Oh, man, is that a good supper.  Only thing is - those wraps are 650 calories each!  Yipes!


7/9

Another day of not doing a whole heck of a lot, only this time I did do a load of towels and put away all the dishes that were in the dishdrainer, as well as my exercises (marching in place and bicep curls) during the afternoon.  For my lunch, I fried myself eggs.  Three of 'em, with two pieces of bread to dunk in 'em and clean up my plate!  I usually just fry the eggs hard, for a sandwich, but I didn't today, another anomaly for this week.
I am SO glad that I am able to get up and do these things now, instead of waiting for Ron to do them whenever he can fit them in after working all day.  It sure makes me feel --useful, if nothing else -- much more normal.  I just wish I could do more, for longer, but I will work up to that, I suppose.
I had myself a snack around 4 - one of Ron's fruit cups.  I'm not sure why.  I'm not usually hungry after my lunches, because they aren't until later (2 or so), but there it is.

When Ron got home, he went out and worked on Josh's car - the tires again - and when he came in, we made supper.  We had hamburgers and french fries, something easy and relatively quick.
We spent the evening watching TV, and, yes, I stayed out in the living room the entire evening!  Yay, me!

I'm sorry this has been so long.  I usually don't go so long without writing, but these long boring days don't seem to be worth writing every day, and I just didn't realize that it had been this long.  I apologize, and I will do my best not to do this again.
