I woke up this morning a little after 9, and read until just after 11. I then got up and piddled around here in the house, not really doing anything, because I didn't feel a whole lot better than I did yesterday. I just wasn't as cold. My back still aches like all get-out - I'm thinking we must have one hell of a storm brewing. Be warned.
I did do my exercises rather early today, and I didn't eat my lunch - a banana - until around 3:30. I still just plain old wasn't very hungry. Besides, Ron and I are going out tonight, and I want to save my calories for that! I spent most of the afternoon on the pute, talking to both my sisters about the weird-ass dreams and what they might just mean. We didn't come to any real conclusions, since we each interpret them (things) differently, but MAN did we have a good discussion!
I was dressed - all day, as a matter of fact - because I kept thinking that I was going to go shopping before Ron got home, but I never did go because of our great conversation, so when Ron texted me, I was able to just put my gym shoes on and head right on out. I made it pretty far down Hoover Road (stopping to play with a wooly worm without a single speck of black on him) before he and I met. I was pleased with how far I got today, considering how much time I had - and how much time I wasted with the wooly worm.
When we got back home, Ron decided to take his shower and we'd head on down the road before he sat there and fell asleep. Fine by me!
Our first stop was to get the oil changed in his truck. It's been needing it, and this has been our first chance to get it done. After that, we went to eat. We discussed where while we were sitting in Valvoline. I suggested Longhorn, because he keeps saying he's gonna start eating salads again, and he likes their Salmon Salad, and you know I like the almost-perfect Grilled Chicken and Strawberry Salad. He muttered around about it, saying "Burger King" but finally agreed that Longhorn was probably the best idea, because he didn't want to think of anywhere else, which was his other option. So off we went. That was our supper - the salads and an order of their Sweet Corn Fritters. YUM. Serious YUM.
Then we went to Meijer to make a little dent in his Christmas shopping. He really, really dreads shopping and would rather I do it for him, but I get mean every now and then and make him face up to it. Since we don't have Corgan this weekend, this is the perfect chance for us to do this! We made some serious inroads - not as much as I'd like, but he started grumbling about his legs hurting, so I relented. Poor guy did work today.
On the way home, we (read: I) stopped and put gasoline in his truck at WalMart ($2.99!!), so he should be pretty much set for gasoline for the week. I did forget one of the stops I wanted to make on the way back home, but it's just uptown, so I can do it tomorrow morning. But, dammit, I wanted to get these errands done while we were out and about, and I forgot. Having him over there snoring made me want to get home that much sooner, I guess. Having him jerk awake and ask me, "Are you okay?" every few minutes even more so.
We got home, carried stuff in, and he promptly fell asleep in his recliner. I hadn't even sat down yet! I went ahead and got on the pute when I was done putting stuff away, so the next time he woke up, he groused at me for being on the pute - men! I just calmly said, "Good night, Ron. Go to bed." And he sat back in the recliner and fell asleep again. He's too funny.
I caught my games up, and now have done my MFP (hmmm - over for the day by a few) and now this. I am ready to hit the hay myself.
What a wonderful evening out with my tired hubby! I really enjoyed it!
Tomorrow should be interesting - he's fixing my car in the morning, then we have a wedding to go to in the early afternoon, then straight on to a dinner at church in the early evening. It's gonna be go, go, go all day long! I'm glad I'll get plenty of rest for my back at each function!
