6/27
When I got up this morning, I couldn't find my fellers anywhere. I finally spotted them across the road fishing! After I did my weigh-in (and being very happy to weigh exactly the same as last week!), I got dressed and went across the road to find out the plans for the day. They had already caught EIGHT fish, and didn't really want to stop fishing, but Ron wanted to go shopping with me so that he could get a new battery for his motorcycle, so they gathered everything up and came home to clean the fish and get ready to go shopping.
We stopped at Arby's for a bite of lunch, then went shopping. It was a very good shopping trip - we got a lot of stuff we have needed, but have been letting go. We also found the movie Jaws because we had talked about it last night and Corgan has never seen it, so it was perfect timing to find it. We got home from shopping, put away the perishables, and watched Jaws. Josh, Chelle, and Jean came in as we were watching the movie, and Josh decided to go fishing instead of watching the movie. Ron had to go with him, and Chelle chose to go with him. Jean stayed and watched the movie with Corgan, and I was watching the movie while making supper -- cooking up all those fish.
So we had a nice fishy supper. Catfish, bass, bluegill, macaroni & cheese, green beans, peas, and tomatoes. Yummy!
After supper, the guys cut up the fish Josh caught, and then, since it was windy and rainy, we played a board game instead of having a fire. We had fun!
6/28
Sunday. Church and lunch. More shopping.
After church, we had lunch at Frisch's with our friends John and Beverly, then we went to Walgreen's, Jungle Jim's (we bought ribs for our big cookout next weekend!), then back to WalMart for gasoline and the groceries we forgot yesterday.
We went to the Dairy Isle and got ice cream (dip cones) to celebrate the last day of his vacation.
Then home so Ron could mow and charge the motorcycle battery he bought yesterday.
Back to the real world tomorrow. Yay, us!

Vacation! Well, a couple of days away...

Friday, June 26, 2015
VACATION TIME! Ron's vacation week, anyway. We didn't really have anything planned, but then we got to thinking - why not go away for an overnight trip? - and we started thinking of where is close enough to drive to one day and come back the next, but still feel that we went somewhere.
We thought of "Amishville" - mid-Ohio (Berlin, Holmes Co., etc.); Gatlinburg; Brown County (Nashville), Indiana; and then finally settled on Marblehead and Put-in-Bay (Lake Erie), up in Sandusky, Ohio.
Since I have TOPS on Tuesday evenings, we decided to go on Wednesday and come back on Thursday. We asked Bert and Teresa to go with us. Bert agreed, but Teresa said she just couldn't manage it right now.
Bright and early Wednesday morning - 8am - off we go!!
Let me tell you -- do not ever EVER EVER believe Google Maps exclusively -- I mean, I thought they were better than MapQuest, but DAMN! They sent us on TWO "scenic tours" that were totally unnecessary, because we ended up back on the same road (once 75N) that we were already on! Now, true, there may have been some road construction going on in those spots at some time, but in that case, they need to update a little more often. I guess I was a little to blame, too, for not reading through the steps and/or not checking other places for directions, but blindly trusting them.
We FINALLY get up there a couple hours after we expected to, and went straight to Marblehead Lighthouse, walked around and enjoyed the place, then we went back to Sandusky and our motel. They remembered us! That was a great feeling - we hadn't been there for oh, seven, eight years and they remembered us. They are the nicest people. It was a shame that they had to fill in their pool, but they made a very nice terrace/patio with a grill and all for their patrons, but...
We had an early evening, because traveling is tiring and we've got to get up early tomorrow!
We'd decided to do the Kelley's Island and Put-in-Bay loop on the Goodtime I boat. It leaves the dock at 9:30am and returns at 6:30pm. But it gives you plenty of time on each island, and I'm pretty sure my back will stand up to the putt-putt (relatively) speed of being on the lake, as opposed to the rush of Jet Express. We've done this boat tour before, and it works for us. This will put us a little later than we thought getting on the way home, but we'll live.
We set every alarm we could and we dragged our lazy asses up and left in plenty of time. We got big hugs from the lady at the motel as we all said goodbye, and she thanked us so many times for remembering them. We drove to the pier, parked, got our tickets and boarded the boat, watching the cloudy skies the whole time. Ron was crying about his sweatshirt, but finally braved it without even a jacket. It was warm, just cloudy and most probably was going to rain. We rode on the open top deck of the boat, and it was quite enjoyable. Bert stood up at the front rail so she could get her eyes full the whole way.
As we were on Kelley's Island, it did start raining, but it was just a drizzle.
We only went to Inscription Rock and then back to the Glacial Grooves, and it was as we were coming back from the Grooves that it started raining. I took a couple pictures at a park as Ron went into a store (he wanted chips), then we went back to the boat. I stayed in the bottom (the enclosed lower deck) of the boat, while Ron and Bert went back up top. But it was rainy, even though there was a canopy-type top, and the floor was getting wet, so they soon came back down.
We got over to Put-in-Bay. We got ourselves some lunch, did some shopping and checked out the merry-go-round, then we went over to Perry's Monument. Bert and I went up in the Monument, walking the 37 steps before taking the elevator to the top. It was pouring down the rain by this time, and we were the only two up there, which was nice. The Rangers were super nice to us, even if they thought we were crazy, and answered all of Bert's questions (I've been there before, remember) and just talked to us. Once again, though, I didn't get to see Canada. You can only see Canada on clear days. Phooey!
When we came back down, we headed back to the boat. We were a little early, but at this point, we didn't care. We'd seen and done all we wanted to!
We got back to Sandusky and headed for home.
We stopped for supper new North Baltimore at a restaurant called the Iron Skillet, but I don't think it's like any Iron Skillet around here. It was in a truck stop-type plaza, and man did they have some cool stuff in that plaza! Too bad I didn't have more time and money - I could have done some serious Christmas shopping! - but, we just ate supper on our little skillet shaped plates, and then we hit the road again.
Not long after that, a terrible, terrible thunderstorm started. It was AWFUL!! Driving down 75S, we were doing around 30mph. Semis were passing us, but only semis. Other cars were not going very fast at all, and occasionally, I had to pass another car going even slower. Every single car, and some semis, had their 4-way flashers on. After 10 miles or so, Bert started saying that she wanted to stop for the night somewhere. Ron and I thought that we'd drive out of the storm, but we drove mile after mile and it didn't ease up. So, we started watching for the blue Lodging signs and we passed two exits that had Gas and Food, but no Lodging. Wonderful. Finally, we started spotting signs that said Lodging ahead, and we were all relieved. We drove out of the storm getting off of that exit, but it started raining again as we were getting to the hotel. We unloaded the car under the overhang by the front door, and only I got wet as I drove to the door closest to our room and ran in. So, we spent another night on the road just above Dayton.
This morning, we took advantage of the breakfast available to us and took our time getting ready to hit the road again. We didn't get going again until close to 10:00, so we didn't get on "home turf" until after noon. Chelle and Corgan were at Josh's work with him, and the three of them met us at Bob Evans for some lunch, and that was a very satisfying end to our little vacation.
We dropped Bert off, then got home, got everything carried in, and Ron left to go pick up his paycheck. I took a nap.
When I woke up, Ron was here. Corgan was here. And our Friday night had begun.
The guys went fishing across the road, even though it was starting to rain, and came back when it started to lightning. We each found our own supper, and the TV is on now. Mythbusters tonight. Whee!

Here I am...
Tuesday, June 23, 2015
Ai yi yi!!
My last blog was on Friday, June 12th....I am so sorry....I can only say that my life has been so boring, so blah, that I didn't want to bore you with it. I have had no luck with losing any weight - I am still stuck on this mesa - not a plateau - in this weight-loss journey, and I am at a loss as to how to get going again. 9 months in this same place is long enough!
Luckily, tonight when I weighed in at my TOPS meeting, my weight was exactly the same as last week, so that's a good thing. Not a gain, which a step in the right direction, even though it's not a loss. That's definitely a good thing, especially since Ron and I took Jean out to breakfast/lunch for her birthday, which was yesterday, today. (You'd think I would learn not to do that on a Tuesday...) But the way this vacation week of Ron's is working out, that's just the way it happened.
So I was very happy!
He was supposed to work on her truck today, but he did it yesterday. Today, we took my car over to Jeff Wyler to get the ignition recall thing fixed. Ron has been pestering me about getting it done, but I wasn't particularly worried about it. So, since Jean was coming to the house today to hang out with me while Ron was working on her truck, we just took her with us and treated her to a meal - another small birthday treat. A different way to hang out with her sister...
We did a couple of other errands on the way back home, and then just did the hanging out here for a little while when we got back. She finally went home a little after 3:00.
I got things all together here at home - laundry and dishes all put away, everything put where I want it, so now Ron and I are ready to enjoy a couple of lazy days of his vacation!

A long, HOT day...
Friday, June 12, 2015
I woke this at 8:45 - right smack dab on the dot. Weird. Why in the hell do I wake so early in the morning? I know for a fact that it was after 2 when I turned the light off last night. I sure hope that means I will sleep good tonight!
I did my usual tableting and reading, debating every few minutes when did I want to get up and go do my errands? but always deciding "in a minute." I finally got up around 10:30 and moved out to my recliner, and dithered about when to leave for another couple of hours. So, it was going on 1:00 before I finally was dressed and actually heading uptown.
I did my errands - banks, banks, and more good banks - and then I succumbed to temptation. I went to Gold Star for my lunch. I had my usual - a GoRito and chili cheese fries - and then headed for home, forgetting to stop and get a bag of ice, which was my last errand. Silly me! I had to text Ron to ask him to stop and bring one home...
Once home, I noticed that some tiger lilies were blooming over on the hill, so I got my camera and walked around the house, taking pictures of the plants and flowers that are blooming or ready to bloom, and growing since we've planted them. I made sure to have my pedometer with me, and that gave me an extra 300+ steps!
Once back in the house, though, I just collapsed into my recliner because it's hotter that hell out there and I felt so weak after walking around the house. I couldn't believe it! I am such a wuss!
After a little bit, I roused myself and did a half hour on the Wii, but then it was back into the recliner.
I was still in my recliner when Josh and Corgan came in, and after Josh left, Corgan and I just enjoyed the A/C and sat there talking to each other. Ron finally came in and he hadn't even texted me - so we got gypped out of walking out to meet him. Oh, well, it was probably for the better.
Corgan, of course, took over the TV. He was watching How It's Made, but then he found a movie to watch (Wimpy Kid) so it wasn't so bad then. At least we got a break on the same freakin' commercials! Now he's watching Tanked, and we argue every now and then over whether or not that one guy is an asshole or not. I say yes, he says no. (Yep, we're strange!)
I went out into the kitchen and did up the dishes, since I hadn't done them this morning, and Ron just stayed in his recliner with his eyes closed.
I'm gonna have a bowl of cereal and go to bed!
No solid plans for tomorrow, although there are tentative ones. We shall see what transpires...

Getting ready for vacation!
Thursday, June 11, 2015
I woke up just before ten this morning, and stayed there in bed doing my usual tableting and reading, waiting for my friend Bert to call me when she was ready to do some running. She was going to follow me to Tire Discounters to pick me up so we could run errands and have lunch, then go back and get my car when they were done with it.
She finally called a little after one, and off we went. When I dropped my car off, he told me that it would be 5:30-6:00 before it would be ready. What??!! I wasn't quite expecting that long of a wait, but what the hell? It is what it is. Me and Bert can kill that much time easily! We texted Teresa to see if she was up to joining us, but she wasn't, so it was just the two of us.
We left TD and headed on down 125. We had both done our other errands on the way done the road, so it was just time for lunch. After some discussion, we decided on Butterbee's, since we hadn't been there in a while.
We got the Tailgate Sampler first, then took our time choosing our true 'meals.' She finally got the Old School Burger with waffle fries, and I got the Major (Minor?) League Burger, which I added bacon to, with waffle fries. We then sat there enjoying our lunch and talking, talking, talking, as we usually do.
Luckily, TD called me a little after three, saying that they were done with my tire rotation, and I could come pick up my car when I was ready. Man, what a difference from 5:30! We still sat there for a little while, enjoying the time away from home, which was really for Bert (her home situation is a little rough right now) and I didn't want to rush her. It was enough to know that my car was done.
We went to get my car when we were ready, and she waited while I went in to get my keys. She's a great friend. We have a friendly little argument all the time over who has the better friends. Ha!
Ron texted me that he was on his way home as I was picking up my keys, too, so by the time I got home, he was there, too. That was nice.
He and I spent some time looking over his work calendar and figuring out how many of his vacation days he needed to claim over the next two weeks (he gets paid a week behind), so that we'll have spending money if we decide to do something the week he's on vacation, and then the week he is ON vacation, so that his paycheck won't be so weak that following week. It's a fine line....
We watched an episode of Starsky and Hutch, which he fell asleep during. Then he went to take his shower, then he made his own supper - an egg sandwich - because I wasn't hungry. We watched Bones and dead guys - well, I watched Bones and dead guys because, you guessed it, he fell back asleep - and that was our evening. I did eat a bowl of cereal around ten. I don't want to have a sugar low during the night!
No plans tomorrow, really. I do have to go uptown and do some banking, but that's all. I might have some lunch, but, then again, I might not. I really enjoyed having lost that 5 pounds!

A rather boring day
Wednesday, June 10, 2015
Not much happening today. I got up after a bit of tableting and reading (okay, a lot...), but the laundry is caught up and there aren't enough dishes to run a sinkful of water, in my august opinion, so I didn't. I'm not sure if it was supper last night, or other reasons, but I am having digestive issues today. I am making many trips to the bathroom, and it is getting old FAST.
I piddled around a bit, then did some Wii exercises, then just sat in my recliner and did nothing. I wasn't feeling real great anyway, because my back tells me that rain is still in the air, but the 25 minutes of Wii helped me a little, along with my lunch of chicken salad and walnuts.
When Ron texted me, I told him that I wasn't walking. I didn't want to take the chance of being away from the bathroom that long or that far. By this time, I have already gone running four times. By the time Ron pulled into the driveway, I was in there for the fifth time. Ugh. I'm starting to wonder if I should start worrying.
Since he was home, I went to lie down and I did drift off for a short nap, which surprised me.
When he came in from doing whatever he was doing, we discussed supper. I still felt awful - even worse, if possible, because now I felt as if I could puke. I thought to test my sugar and, sure enough, I was having a low. (My number was 74) It was weird, though, because I wasn't sweating or shaking or anything that usually portends a sugar low. I ate some jelly beans and sat in my recliner until I felt like making supper.
It was after 8:00 when I finally started bacon and sausage for our supper. Nothing like breakfast for supper, right?
Tomorrow, I'm going down to get the tires on my car rotated. Bert will follow me in her car and we'll go back for my car. Who knows what will happen in between the dropping off and the picking up?
Not much happening today. I got up after a bit of tableting and reading (okay, a lot...), but the laundry is caught up and there aren't enough dishes to run a sinkful of water, in my august opinion, so I didn't. I'm not sure if it was supper last night, or other reasons, but I am having digestive issues today. I am making many trips to the bathroom, and it is getting old FAST.
I piddled around a bit, then did some Wii exercises, then just sat in my recliner and did nothing. I wasn't feeling real great anyway, because my back tells me that rain is still in the air, but the 25 minutes of Wii helped me a little, along with my lunch of chicken salad and walnuts.
When Ron texted me, I told him that I wasn't walking. I didn't want to take the chance of being away from the bathroom that long or that far. By this time, I have already gone running four times. By the time Ron pulled into the driveway, I was in there for the fifth time. Ugh. I'm starting to wonder if I should start worrying.

6/8
Monday. Ugh. Yeah, I got up and played Happy Homemaker. A load of regular in the washer and then dishes. Dishes, dishes, dishes. I had done some of them on Sunday - not many - and now it was time to finish the rest of them up. What a job!
Then our friend Laura came over to play Wii games with me. We do a little contest-like thing - whoever 'wins' that particular game/exercise gets to choose the next one. She got here around 11:45, and we played on the Wii until after 2:15, so we did this for a good long time. But with each one of us resting while the other played, it wasn't as bad as it sounds, and we played just as many balance games as we did more energetic games like steps and biking, so it all worked out okay.
When Laura left, I finished up the housework (getting the clothes into the dryer, etc.), ate some lunch (three slices of cheese) and then just collapsed into my recliner. My back was telling me that rain was moving in, and I let it rule the rest of the day.
When Ron texted me, I told him I wasn't walking. When he got home, we discussed supper, but I wanted a good result tomorrow night - my goal was to lose those five pounds I had gained last week! - so I just wanted chicken noodle soup. He had his frozen Chinese thing, and that was that.
Sunday night, I watched Part 1 of a new show on my dead guy channel. It's called Serial Thriller - Angel of Decay, and I figured out ten minutes in which serial killer it is about. I should have known sooner - as soon as they showed the part of the country, but... - so I felt kinda proud of myself about that. I think they did a very good job putting this together, and not letting any information out. I watched Part 2 tonight, and am still impressed with how they've done it. I do think, though, that the "main character" is mis-cast. He's supposed to be a clean-cut average-looking guy, and this actor is dark and raggedy-looking (to me, anyway).
I went to bed, fell asleep while reading (do you know how often THAT happens?) and slept long and hard all night. All. Night. Like a rock.
6/9
Today, I was lazy. After waking and doing my normal tableting and reading, I finally got up around 2. TWO! Yep, lazy.
I just piddled around here in the house, not really doing a lot because my back is telling that the rain is not over. Maybe not today, or even overnight, but it's not over. I did peel potatoes so that we could have snausages for supper tonight.
When Ron texted me, I quickly got dressed and walked out to meet him. It took me five minutes to get on the road, and I thought I'd be lucky to even get to Carol's mailbox, but then I passed that. Then I made it to, and passed, the curves. Then I made it to our halfway mark. I'm thinking, "Where the hell is Ron? What's going on?" but I kept walking. I made it all the way to the farmhouse before he finally showed up - that's darn near 3/4 of a mile! Yay, me! He said that as he was leaving work, someone waved him down and was talking to him and wouldn't stop.
We got back home and I went to take my shower (TOPS meeting, remember), then we talked about supper and all before I left. He wasn't happy, because he says that he can't cook fried potatoes, but I think he'll be fine.
I go to my meeting, and taking a deep breath, weigh in. (Remember: goal is to lose 5 pounds because I gained 4.6 last week), and HALLELUJAH!!! I did it!! I met my goal!! I lost 5.8 pounds!! <happy dance> That means, even with taking off the 4.6, I lost an extra 1.2 pounds! Yay, me!! Staaving, dahling, over the last two days, and all that exercise (the Evil E word) did some good - I guess I should keep it up.
When I got home, Ron had supper on, but it wasn't done. He hadn't got it started when he was supposed to because of a phone call, so I had to turn it up and finish cooking it myself. We ended up not eating until 9:00, but man, oh, man, was it good!! Good, good, good! Super duper yummy. I enjoyed every single bite.
I watched the end - Part 3 - of Serial Thriller while eating (well, the rerun of Part 2, then Part 3) and it was excellent. There will be a follow-up show on Sunday at 9:00 to kinda wrap up all the little details. I guess they thought people would have a lot of questions after watching this....they did stuff a lot in at the end, but that's to be expected. Police business moves slow, you know.
Nothing planned tomorrow, but I might go down and get my tires rotated. Maybe. We'll see how I feel then.

OMG! What a week!!
Wednesday, June 3, 2015 -
Sunday, June 7, 2015
What a week! I have totally killed my back this week, and I paid for it every single night.
I hurt so bad every night it wasn't even funny, as the saying goes. I went to bed early most nights (that means before eleven) and I even went right to sleep most of those nights, too. But, damn, it was rough and tough. I hurt. Bad.
Don't get me wrong. I have a pretty high threshold for pain, I think, so hurting can be growth, right? I don't know what I, and my back, can do if I don't TRY to do stuff. But I don't think I'll be pushing it to the limit like I did this week for a long, long time again now. I've learned from this. I don't need another smackdown from above.
I did have some good times in there, too.
I went to lunch with Bert AND Teresa on Thursday! Yes, Teresa went, too! I was SO happy that day! Even though we went to Longhorn again - even the waitress teased us - we all enjoyed it. The chairs got way too hard way too soon, but there was no way in the world was I going to admit that to them, and we just talked and talked and talked, as we usually do. It was great!
Friday and Saturday was the Rummage Sale itself. I spent the day - all the hours of the Rummage Sale - up at church, doing whatever needed to be done. I made sure to alternate sitting and walking/standing, but it was still a lot different than what I'm used to. Oh, how I hate being a wuss!!
On Saturday, after it was over, there was still a lot of baked goods left, so we decided to bring the stuff up to sell after Mass that night. So, I volunteered to do that and got back home a little after six.
Finally, finally - my week is over!!
Tonight, the rest of the family has come up for supper and enjoying the fire pit. Little did they know that 1) I wasn't going to be home for a bit, and 2) we were going to move the fire pit!
We discussed how I wanted to move things around, and Josh helped Ron move things while I went in the house and cooked supper. I made my shrimp dish, herb & cheese Rice-a-Roni, broccoli, and cabbage. We ate outside at the picnic table, since it was nice and breezy outside and not very hot.
Then we sat over at the "new" conversation/fire pit - the porch swing got moved over by the glider chair patio, with the fire pit in front of, and in the middle of, them. Yard chairs completed the circle around the fire pit. The porch swing's back is to the shed, if that gives you a picture in your head. We roasted marshmallows and cheese weenies while sitting by the fire.
They left for home, and Ron and I sat out by the fire for a little bit, then came in to go to bed, because I was really tired and wanted this week to be over.
Sunday. Church and lunch. That's what we did.
After church, we went to the new Mexican place - Don Rigo - down by Kroger. It wasn't bad. Not bad at all. Ron had something called a Burrito Barzon, and I had my chimichangas. Total cost of our lunch (before tip) was under 20 bucks!
We came home and just lazed around the rest of the day.
Back to normal tomorrow. Yay for normal!

Paying for the good times
Tuesday, June 2, 2015
I got up to the damn alarm going off at 9am again this morning. Man, this is too much like work!
I grumbled and groaned, but finally got up and did the few tasks I had to do before leaving to get up at the church just after 10:00.
I dug right into emptying boxes and lining things up on the tables, and it sure seemed that the stuff must have multiplied overnight, because there is as much stuff in the middle of the floor as when we started yesterday morning! I know that can't be true, but it sure seemed so. Wow, what a job.
I worked until about 11:45, then I had to leave because I was going to take Bert to get her license plates renewed. I was running a little late, but I wanted to finish that one last box.
I stopped at the bank, then went on to Bert's. We got over to Batavia and to the license bureau. Not so long later, there was an announcement, "Ladies and gentlemen: Our system is down, statewide. If you wish to leave, you may come back at another time, and if you wish to wait, we're doing our best to get it back online as soon as possible."
GREAT! We decided to wait, since we were already there, she was already late getting her plates renewed, and nothing else was planned except lunch. So, there we sat. As we were sitting there, another friend/classmate of ours came in and sat by us and we all talked, so it didn't seem too bad of a wait. And, luckily, it was only about an hour and a half or so before they finally called her number and we got out of there.
We decided to go to Longhorn for our lunch, since I had to weigh in at my TOPS meeting tonight, and I'd rather have my almost-perfect salad instead of 'heavier' food. Too bad Longhorn also has such delicious bread, and yummy corn fritter appetizers...
So, long story short, when I weighed in at my meeting, I had gained 4.6 pounds since last week. BOO!! I figured there would be a gain, because of the late lunch (we hadn't gotten there til 2:30) and then the bread...) but, damn! That part was a shock. I've been eating better - at least making more conscious choices - and upping my exercise a bit. I even got on the Wii today when I got home after dropping Bert off. Yep, even after all the up and down of emptying the boxes and all yesterday and today. I guess more intensive stuff is called for...ugh. I really hate that evil E word.
Ron hadn't made any supper tonight, because I had told him that I had had such a late lunch and wasn't hungry. I'm going to have a bowl of cereal (Basic 4) when I am finished here.
Back up to church in the morning, and I sure hope those boxes haven't multiplied again!!

Today was rough....on my back!
Monday, June 1, 2015
Well, I succeeded in getting in some exercise today, if nothing else.
I dragged my lazy ass up out of bed around 9:30 this morning, got dressed, made myself tea, and left. I went up to church to help sort the things that have been donated for our Rummage Sale this coming weekend. I figured that I could give about three hours, as long as I remembered not to lift stuff. (yeah...) That was my goal, anyway.
So, there I am, emptying boxes and bags, carrying the stuff to the various tables and just kept going and going. I did lift a few boxes, but they were very light - I used my common sense! If I felt any kind of pull at all, I did not lift that particular one and moved one. By 11:;30, however, I was starting to feel it in my back. I think it was more from all the standing and walking with no breaks, but I was afraid that if I sat down, I'd never get back up - from choice! So I just kept working and wishing that the hands of the clock would move a bit faster.
We all made a serious dent in all the boxes and bags that had been stacked in the center of the floor, and the tables are looking full of good stuff. Dishes, pictures and frames, holiday things, sheets and other things like that (linens, placemats, napkins, etc.), curlers, kids' toys and stuff, and - of course - clothes! Lots of clothes. (And, of course, we accept all donations. If you wanna clean out your closets, please bring your stuff up to St. Mary's by Thursday...)
A little after 1:00, I called it quits. I just couldn't do it any more. I had just finished with a big box of china (a matched set of 6 place settings with roses - including a sugar bowl and creamer) and that was enough. I said my "see you tomorrow"s and left. When I first got in my car, though, I thought I was gonna SCREAM. Even though my back hurt so bad from standing so long, it was not happy that I had finally sat down! It took me a few minutes before I could start the car and leave.
I went to Gold Star to get some food, and the first thing I did was to take some Aleve. I sure hoped they kicked in fast so that I could enjoy my lunch, let me tell you. I had my normal GoRito and chili cheese fries, and read my latest Guideposts magazine instead of my book while eating. I finally gritted my teeth and got back up, which was not an easy choice to make, and came on home.
When I got here, I went back to bed. Actually, I laid backward in bed - my head at the foot of the bed - and huddled under my quilt. It was quite chilly all day today, and it was raining a bit harder when I left Gold Star, and then got home, so I got wet. Wetter than I had earlier, anyway.
After catching my games up on my tablet, I let myself drift off for a nap. A nap! What a wuss...
Ron woke me up coming in from work. Yep. I am a wuss. I admit it.
I got up not long after that, because I do want to sleep tonight, and I flopped into my recliner while he decided to clean the living room - or his half of the living room - looking for his pills, fix his broken TV tray, and little stuff like that. I stay out of his way when he gets bit by the cleaning bug.
When he was done, we watched Starsky and Hutch while we ate our supper. He ate crackers with cream cheese while I ate some strawberries and a banana. We have put in the last disc now, so we'll soon be done with these first two seasons...wonder what we'll do then?
Advil PM. My bed. Alarm going off again at 9am. Ugh. But - bright side - I'm only working until 11:30 and then I'm going to take Bert over to get her license plates renewed. Yep, she forgot to do that last week. Silly girl. We'll have a great time!
