NOT a good day on this journey...

Tuesday, August 5, 2014

First off, I must say a HAPPY BIRTHDAY - a happy 35th - to my son Joshua, and also (not 35th, a year older) to his bestie, and my second son, Steve.  Life has been a trip with you two!  Quite a trip.  Much love.

Today started off with a start - my phone rang around 7 this morning!  Ron was running late this morning when he left, and he needed me to check to see if he may have left his work phone, also known as the 2-way, somewhere here in the house.  So, I had to get up, put on my glasses, and go on a treasure hunt, with him telling me places to look.  It was so. much. fun.  NOT.  I didn't find it, so he had to have it with him somewhere, either in his work bag, or in the motorcycle saddlebag.
I went back to bed, falling back asleep (I was surprised, because once my brain is engaged, I am usually up) and it didn't even take very long!  I slept until 10 - normal wake-up time for me - which was great, according to me.  At least I didn't sleep til noon after that interruption!

I got up and played Happy Homemaker, doing the weekend dishes.  After that, I played on the pute, then had my lunch.  I had chicken salad, walnuts, and a banana today.  It's been a while since I had this nice sensible lunch, and it was really good!  I went and laid down, then got back up and played on the pute some more, laid back down, then got back up and did my exercises and took my shower (TOPS meeting tonight!).  I laid back down, and was laying there when Ron came in.  Wow - just after 6!  Impressive.   As it was getting to be time to get dressed, I started feeling funny, so I checked my sugar.  It was 54!  Yep, a sugar low.  In the middle of the afternoon.  I don't get it.  How?  I ate a good lunch, I didn't do anything overly strenuous, I just don't get it.  I ate some jelly beans, and was feeling better, and sat up to dress when Ron came in to tell me about finding his 2-way, and he noticed right off that something was wrong.  Great - now not only do I have to finish getting myself dressed, but I have to also get myself all the way 'okay' before leaving, and I should already be on the way, and now I have to explain everything to Ron.  Ai Yi Yi.
I finally get him calmed down, and me dressed and ready to go, and get on the road - at 10 til 7!  This is not good.  I have to be there to be weighed in BY 7, and this is gonna be close.

I did get there, and I did get weighed in, and boy, did I wish I hadn't!  I gained 4 pounds!  GAINED.  Phooey.  Oh, well - I did enjoy that decadent weekend, and I guess I have to pay for it.
Ron made breakfast for supper, and it was ready when I got home just after 8.  Oh, it was good.  Breakfast for supper is always a good plan - all except the calories, of course.  Bacon, sausage, eggs, bread - the whole nine yards.  1000 calories, even though it's not quite the same as having breakfast out, it's still the same!  Well, I had just bread and not buttered toast, but there's no way to separate all that unless you enter each thing separately and I'm way too lazy to do that.  So...according to MFP, I was 100 calories over for the day, even though I know (in my brain) I really truly wasn't.  I can handle being only 100 calories over for the day - just as long as it doesn't happen too very often.

Phone calls to make tomorrow.  Fun times ahead!
