HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!
My day started early, with the alarm going off at 8. EIGHT! Double and triple ugh! After hitting snooze a couple of times, I dragged my lazy ass up and got into the shower. (It didn't help much to wake me up.) As I was sitting there taking my drugs - yeah, I know, I did things backassward - my sister came in, so I guess I timed things pretty well. I finished lotioning and got dressed, then brushed my teeth and finished getting ready, and then we hit the road.
We made our way downtown, only getting lost trying to find a place to park, which was easily remedied by turning around and turning right instead of left. Hurray!! We get in, she signs in, and the waiting starts. Get this - they give her one of those little light-up things like you get in restaurants! She was called twice, via her little light-up thing, once for paperwork and once for a weigh-in, before truly being called for her appointment. Yes, her appointment was at 10:30 and she wasn't called back until 12:15. Talk about a wait! I wish one of us would have realized that this was a clinic (or a clinic setting) and we would have gone in with a different set of mind. And, oh my, those chairs! My back was not happy with me at all. I got up and walked around as much as I could, but I didn't want to (very much) because of our stuff in the seats.
She finally came back out, made her appointment for the extractions (December 15th), and we got to leave. I got more lost trying to leave than I did getting there! I didn't realize that I could turn left onto MLK and thought I had to go up another block - big mistake - and ended up going all the way up to WHTaft, turning right, going up to Auburn, then the way I know home. Jiminy Christmas! It was a long way around, but it finally got us going in the right direction.
We got into Anderson, and decided to stop at Applebee's for our lunch. She had never been, and I was ready for something different. We shared a "2 for 20" (it was actually 2 for 25 - they have those, too) and really enjoyed ourselves. She had a shrimp meal, and I had a chicken with mushrooms & stuff and red potatoes, and both meals, of course, came with a side salad - which were huge. It was well worth the money.
We got to my house, and she left to get on home, since she was already later than she thought she was going to be, and she has to go trick-or-treating with Corgan tonight.
I played on the pute until Ron texted me, then I walked out to meet him, even though it was still drizzling cold rain. I didn't get very far today - he didn't give me much warning because of the rain. He didn't think I'd want to walk, but I did.
He and I went to Felicity to the FeedMill for our supper. Unfortunately, it was still trick-or-treat over there and was a bit crazy, but we survived.
I came home and made the rest of the cookies I needed to make for church tomorrow night, and now here I am.
I did not put my food in MFP, but I did put in my exercise. I didn't want to look it all up - I was being lazy.
TOPS rally tomorrow. I must be uptown at 7am. UGH. Then church tomorrow night. Busy, busy, busy.
