Ending up scary...

4/15
Today was really a quite boring day, which was a good thing, I suppose.  My back was still aching like all get-out, so the rain is still coming in, but I really shouldn't let that be an excuse.  I should work through it, but it's just another I-don't-want-to-participate-in-life day.  I did make myself eat decently today.  I had a bowl - guaranteed, it was a big bowl - of cereal, but it was Basic 4 cereal, which is one of the best cereals out there.  I even measured both the cereal and the milk, so it was a double serving, not just "some" in a big bowl.
After that, I just stayed mostly in my recliner and didn't do much of anything, although I did do a load of towels, but once they were in the dryer, that was it.
Ron called me at 4:30 to tell me that he was being sent back out, and he would be very late getting home.  Oh, how I hate when they do that!  Don't they realize that the drivers want to go home at the end of the workday, also?  But, noooooo....back out he goes.  That's okay, I guess.  That means he won't have any time left to work on Saturday!  Ha!

After he called and I had a few minutes to calm down, I decided to make a pot of spaghetti for supper, because it would be good no matter what time he got home, and that is what I did.
When he got home, he was glad supper was ready.  He ate his supper, then promptly fell asleep and that was that for the night.


4/16
I didn't have any plans for today, but when Ron called to say he was going through Bethel, and if I wanted to, I could come meet him uptown, get his paycheck and do the banking, I took advantage of it!  I got up, got ready, and went to meet him.
After sitting and talking to him during the rest of his lunchtime, he went on, and I went to the bank, then to Gold Star for some lunch, then on down the road to do some errands.
I got back home, and then spent the rest of the afternoon in my recliner.  I wish this rain would hurry up and pass!
At 5:00, I thought I probably should put my gym shoes on and be ready when Ron texted that he was on his way home, but talked myself out of it - I can wait until 5:30, I thought.  Well, as these things go, Ron texted me between 10 and 15 after!  Of course!  So I quickly got my shoes on and took off walking to go out and meet Ron.  I even made it out to the curves - around the first curve - before meeting him.  I was kinda proud of myself!
We got back home and we both collapsed into our recliners.  Ron decided he wanted the spaghetti heated up for his supper, so I did that while he took his shower, but that was it for activity for the evening.  God, we are old boring people!

The Felicity fire trucks started going by like crazy, and one of my friends posted on Facebook, "What was that?" and then a few minutes later, "A house exploded on Spring Street!" and the scary part of the evening started.  I quickly called my friend Bert, whose sister lives on Spring Street, and I wanted to make sure it wasn't her.  Bert was busy, but I explained the situation to her mom, and she had to call Sue and would call me back.  She did call back in a few minutes, and it IS Sue's house!  Oh, my!  Luckily, Sue was not at home, but at her daughter's, which was a good thing, but still...
All throughout the evening, I kept an eye on Facebook and the news and any new information that was coming out from this.  Nothing new was really being said, though.  It was, and is, all speculation.

I watched Bones, then turned on dead guys, and now here I am.

Tomorrow I get to run back down the road and do my weekly shopping.  Whee!
