Getting the week underway...

4/13
I had to get up and get myself ready today, because I had to go up to Rumpke for their Health Fair, or whatever you want to call it.  If Ron and I don't "do" this Health Fair thing, they will take $10.00 a week - A WEEK - out of his check, just because we didn't do it.  They get you coming and going, ya know...
Luckily, it didn't start until noon, so I didn't really have to change my day around too very much, but it was still a pain in the ass to have to do it.  I didn't want to be in the mad rush at the very beginning, so I left here at 12:30, to get there close to 1:00.  My planning worked out great, and I also met my sister-in-law up there, as she was there to do hers, also.  And, as we were walking in, Ron pulled in, so he was there to do his at the same time, too.  That was pretty cool.

When we were all done, Beth and I went up to Country Inn to get a bite of lunch.  She got a big ol' salad and onion rings, but I was bad and got the double decker BLT and steak fries.  I figured that I could level it out with chicken noodle soup for supper, but I ended up being full the rest of the day and didn't even eat any supper!  Then she surprised me and picked up the bill, too!  I was going to get it because I had asked her, and I was sure that she hadn't planned on stopping for lunch - she had already worked in the morning, just as she does every morning, and was ready to go take a nap before her afternoon work.  That was a very nice surprise!

I got back home, just in time for Laura to come over and do Wii exercises and games for a couple of hours.  We take turns choosing what exercises we are going to do next - whoever gets the better score gets to choose the next one - and we have a lot of fun while getting in a bit of exercise.  After doing the exercising, we played games of bowling, frisbee, and swordplay.  She had to leave to go help her parents mow, or she would have stayed and walked with me to meet Ron.
As it was, though, Ron stopped to have Harry look at his mower (the Zero Turn) and that turned into a much bigger job than they thought, and he didn't get home until after 7:30.  It had also started pouring down the rain in Hamersville, and he laid his cell phone down on the truck somewhere, so - yes! - it got wet, and wasn't working correctly when he got home.  Then he also discovered that, since he had left the truck window down, his work cell phone in his work bag inside the truck had gotten wet also.  He wasn't that worried about that one, because he could just get another one at work, but we had to put his into a bowl of rice for overnight - and all I had was Rice-A-Roni!  Yeah, I need to get in the 21st century, too!
He had some of the chicken leftovers from the fridge for his supper, and I didn't eat anything.  We just watched dead guys until I turned on NCIS:LA.

Nothing planned for tomorrow.


4/14
I knew as soon as I woke up this morning that I didn't want to participate in life today.  I'm not sure why, I just didn't.
I ended up staying there in bed, tableting and reading, until almost 2:00, then I made myself get up.  Since I didn't get to play Happy Homemaker yesterday, I had to do it today.  So, it was a load of towels into the washer, all the dishes from the weekend done up, a pot of beans put on for supper, and then I let myself collapse into my recliner for the rest of the afternoon.  At 5:00, I added ham to the beans.
When it was time, I got myself ready to go to my TOPS meeting, even though Ron wasn't home yet.  I was glad I went - I usually am - and when I weighed in, I found out that I have lost about another half pound - .4 to be precise - and I am very happy with that.  I guess all that exercise yesterday did a little bit of good!

I got back home from the meeting, and we ate our supper while watching NCIS and NCIS:NO, as usual on a Tuesday.  Then he went to bed, and I moved to the pute.  Yee-haw!
While on the pute, I actually went back on myfitnesspal.com, too!  If you'll remember, I took "November" off, giving myself a break.  Yeah, November has been a long month...

Nothing planned for tomorrow, but I am sure hoping that they are wrong about the rain they're calling for, but the way my back has ached all day (part of my not-wanting-to-participate-in-life, I'm sure) and is still aching, I'm sure the rain is moving in.  A LOT of rain.  Blah.
