...and the 'work week' begins again

Monday, October 20, 2014


I didn't sleep well last night.  Even with taking a sleeping pill, I never fell into 'real' sleep, I just kinda kept dozing, instead of falling over the cliff, per se, into full sleep.  It was a long night.

I finally let myself be 'awake,' instead of trying to sleep some more, around 8:30 or so.  Of course, I just laid there and read a bit before rousing myself out of bed.  Once I got up, though, my first order of business was going uptown, because we were out of ice and I couldn't have a decent cup of tea without ice (and, yes, we have ice cube trays, but I am lazy and those cubes are way too big.  Yes, I am particular.) so I decided to get that over with.  Once uptown, though, being me, I decided to go get myself a sandwich - yes, at Frisch's - before venturing into cold ol' IGA.
I sat there and enjoyed a Buddie Boy and fries, then over to IGA for bananas, bread, and ice.  I had to only get a small bag, since I can't carry a large one, but that will last us a few days.

Back home, I got into Happy Homemaker mode, since I had gotten some tea in me.  I decided not to do any laundry today - not quite enough dirty - and did the dishes that were gathered.  I also did a few other chores around here, and when I was done, I got right into doing my exercises.  I just didn't stop!  It was go, go, go.  I figured I'd get dressed - socks, gym shoes - ready to hear from Ron at quarter after 5, and I was playing on the pute til then.  Well, he texted me at 5 after 5!  Crap!  I had to rush and get myself ready and get out the door and walking down the road.  But I did it - I made it pretty far down the road before meeting him, and I was proud of myself, seeing that I wasn't ready.  Man, I guess I best start getting myself ready at FOUR, just in case.

After we got back home, we watched the DVD that I had bought the other night - the Clermont County hauntings thing - and it was rather interesting.  When it was over, I made us some cheese weenies, macaroni and cheese, and mixed the rest of the corn and lima beans for a succotash for our supper.  Then we watched more Quantum Leap until time to watch football.

I put my food and exercise into MFP, and, not surprisingly, I was over my calorie count for the day.
Maybe it's time for me to rethink things.  We usually don't eat a whole supper, though, and we did tonight.  I've got to go back to getting a handle on things.  I don't want to get hollered at by MFP, but I've got to stop being over, too.
