8/8
I got up this morning at 4 to take Ron to work so I could have the truck, as planned. Man! But I did it! I read a little bit when I got back, then went back to sleep until the alarm went off. I got up, did what I needed to do, then took off for my lunch.
Kathy and I were meeting at the Sizzling Wok over in Eastgate. It's a very small place - nothing like Hibachi Grill! - but they have a decent enough buffet, and Kathy and I sat there and talked and talked and talked. I started squirming and she noticed, so we broke it up soon after that - and no wonder I squirmed, it was almost 3:00!! I sat there almost 3 hours, with getting up for trips to the buffet. 3 hours!
Then, like a dummy, when I got home, I got on the pute instead of lying down. 'I'll just check Facebook real quick' I thought. Yeah, right. I should have known better. I finally went to lie down, and barely ten minutes later, Ron is calling me to come and pick him up. Ten minutes! Yep, I should have known. My poor abused back...
But it's my own fault, so I grit my teeth and get set to go get Ron. In the meantime, I've texted Josh about us getting Corgan, and they are going to meet us up at the landfill with him. So that's all covered, and I'm on my way. I get there, and they are all waiting for me. As we are talking, since Josh and Chelle aren't having a 'date night' as they do on Fridays, we decide to go up to Pizza Hut and have supper together. Well! I certainly wasn't expecting that. More gritting of teeth, but I can do this. My family is worth a little bit of pain, right?
So off we go for our supper, and we sit there for another hour enjoying the time together. I had 3 slices of our pepperoni, mushroom, and onion pizza and a breadstick. They kept teasing me about trying their nastiness pizzas with banana peppers and olives and stuff, but we all knew it wasn't happening! As we left, though, I was looking so forward to going home and going to bed!
And that's what I did. We came home, and I took a dose of Tylenol PM and went to bed. Oh, my back hurt so bad, I even thought about taking a real pain pill, but I just took the sleeping pill. I figured if I can just rest my back, that should be enough. After an hour of lying there reading and not much relief, I went and took a third pill (of Tylenol PM) and then, finally, I did drift off to sleep. I had to, because I sure don't remember much else after that. I don't remember Ron coming to bed, I don't remember putting my book away, nothing.
8/9
I didn't get up today (really get up, not a get-up-and-go-pee-and-go-right-back-to-bed) until almost 1:00. ONE!! I was so surprised, but I suppose I really needed it. My back needed it, anyway. Ron and Corgan had been working away outside, so they didn't bother me, just came in and checked on me every now and then, and all was going okay with them. I got up and did my weigh-in on the Wii - I gained a little bit, less than a pound - and then the day was what it was. I was hungry, so I made myself a peanut butter and orange marmalade sandwich for my lunch.
At four, I drove the truck uptown by myself to do a couple of errands, then came back and laid back down until time for Josh's family to show up sometime between 7:30 and 8. Ron made supper tonight, and he made liver & onions for him and Corgan, while I had the tuna left over from Thursday night. He also made macaroni & cheese as a side for us all. I had a few cherry tomatoes, also, just so I could have a vegetable.
When they got here, we went outside to sit at the fire pit. We had snacks for sitting out there, and I ate way too many of the snacks. When will I learn? Ugh! I can certainly tell that I ate too much!
We had such a nice evening for sitting outside, and we quite enjoyed the evening sitting around the fire together.
I am so ready to start over again next week with a better eating plan and getting back on track!
