A long, slow, boring day

Wednesday, April 22, 2015

I did my normal wake up, lay in bed tableting and reading for a while, then get up to piddle around doing as little housework as I could, then spent the rest of the day in my recliner.  I did do a load of regular clothes, and put away the dishes in the dishdrainer, but that was about it.
I had my chicken salad with a serving of walnuts for my lunch - it's about time I start being good!
It was windy, windy, windy today - all day long.  I was so glad that I wasn't out in it, and I thought long and hard about walking out to meet Ron.  But since I didn't do any exercises today, I thought that I had better.
So, at 5:00, I went into the bedroom to get dressed to go out into that wind, and - lo and behold! - my cell phone went off!  Ron was texting me - do I have good timing or what?  I really didn't expect him this early, but I didn't want to be caught off-guard like I was the other day.  So, I got out of the house pretty quickly and I actually got all the way to our half mile mark before meeting him!  Of course, I think the wind PUSHED me most of the way there - I sure don't walk that fast! But, whatever works - I'll take it!

When we got back home, we decided to have salads for supper, since we have a lot of salad stuff left and don't want it to go bad.  We are getting back into the swing of this salad-for-supper thing again!  He fell asleep for a little while, so I let him sleep until 7:00, then we needed to eat supper before it got too late, so I started making the salads up (making a lot of noise in the process) and woke him up.  We watched dead guys while eating, then I watched Criminal Minds, while Ron complained about not being able to sleep tonight during every commercial.  He is such a wuss!  But he's MY wuss...

I also received a text during the evening, and we have a new Wilkerson baby - Traci has had Smudge, and Smudge is a girl!  Carli Marie Essen - 7 lbs, 11 oz., and 20 inches long.  Congratulations to Brian and Traci!!  (In case you can't keep the Wilkersons straight, Traci is Sandi's daughter, and Sandi is Teresa's oldest sister.)

As a member of the Bereavement Committee, I have to attend a funeral up at church tomorrow, which is really not a hardship.  After that, I have no real plans - we'll have to see what happens.  I'll be up and dressed, so bring it on!
