5/11
Typical Monday.  I woke up, did my tableting and reading, then got up and played Happy Homemaker, doing a load of regular clothes.  There weren't really enough dishes (imagine that!) to warrant running a whole sinkful of water, so I didn't.  I had chicken salad and walnuts for my lunch.
I took a lot of breaks - long breaks - and the afternoon went.  At 3:30, I left to attend to my new task for the next two weeks.  It's just doing a favor for friends, running to get her, then uptown and back, until school is out, and I think I'll be able to handle this.  I don't see why not. It's only two weeks, and I can do just about anything for short amounts of time.
I got back home in the pouring rain, and made the decision NOT to walk out to meet Ron.  That could be a bit dicey!
When Ron did get home, we made our big salads for our suppers, and we watched Starsky and Hutch while eating - we actually managed to watch two whole episodes, after Ron caught up on the one he fell asleep during - and then it was time for him to go to bed, and I watched NCIS: LA.  I started watching dead guys after that, but somewhere along in there I fell asleep in my recliner and didn't wake up to go to bed until close to 3.  tsk, tsk.


5/12
Today is a bittersweet day, as it is every year.  You see, it's my grandmother's - my Mamma's - birthday. (Mamma in this case is pronounced Mammaw.)  She would be 109 if she had lived this long, so I guess it's a good thing she's not.  It is still very hard - she is gone, but she is sooo missed and so loved - these years since she's passed have not been easy on this day.

I did my normal morning thing - tableting and reading, then getting up - but I didn't do anything today.  I did empty the dishdrainer, but that was it.  I just lazed in my recliner all day, mostly reading.
When 3:30 came, I did my little task, and came home and plopped back into my recliner.  When Ron texted me, I walked out to meet him.  I almost made it to the curves, too, before meeting him.
It sure was a beautiful day for walking!

I went to my TOPS meeting, thinking it was going to be a fourth week in a row of gain, since I hadn't really done anything different from the week before, but, thankfully, I finally LOST some weight.  I lost two whole pounds - exactly two pounds - and boy, was I happy!
I came home from the meeting and Ron had supper ready.  He had decided that he wanted a hot supper for some reason, and he had made hamburgers, macaroni & cheese, and corn.  It was good!  We ate supper while watching NCIS and NCIS:NO, then he went to bed and I got on the pute after turning on dead guys.

Nothing much on the schedule for tomorrow, but I really do need to get myself motivated in the exercise department.  I really do.
