Monday, February 29, 2016
My apologies for such a long time between blogs - I was having computer issues this week and I was very frustrated at not being able to write a little more often. I did try, and I mean to try, to keep this up a little better - I promise!
Monday and Tuesday were Happy Homemaker days, even though I got to run errands on both days. I didn't seem to drive myself crazy as I do most days since I got out of the house!
Tuesday, also, I got to go to my TOPS meeting, which was a bummer, because I gained .8 of a pound at weigh-in, probably because I had just eaten lunch between 2:30 and 3:00. I guess walking out to meet Ron on Hoover Road just wasn't enough to balance out that late of a lunch. Blah!
I had a bad, Bad, BAD nosebleed on Wednesday morning. We haven't run the humidifier the last couple of nights because of rain moving in, and I guess I paid the price. I won't make that mistake again, let me tell you!
Ron and I played mini-golf on the Wii tonight, and I soundly beat his ass (we've been playing the easy games, then the medium, then the hard, instead of one of each in each game - I won two games and he won one) and that lifted my spirits a little bit.
Bert called and we set up a trek to Amelia to use her gasoline points on Friday, so that's a good thing, too - for both of us!
On Thursday, I didn't get much accomplished until Ron brought the mail in with him when he got home from work, then I did get our taxes finished. Hooray! I am amazed at the difference since I quit working...
We played mini-golf on the Wii again, and I whooped his ass on all 3 levels this time! Yay, me!
We almost let the pot of beans boil dry while playing, but rescued them just in time and they were good (or as good as beans can be) for this cold weathery day.
Friday was a very good day! A get-out-and-about day!
I got up, got a shower, got dressed, and got out of the house around 1:00. I had a few errands to do uptown here in Bethel before heading down the road and I didn't know when Bert would be calling. I got my errands done, and went on down the road. I decided to go to LaRosa's for my lunch (choices are few and far between on Fridays during Lent). I get there, get settled in, ordered my lunch (a calzone w/4-cheese sauce, tomatoes, mushrooms, and onions with a basket of french fries) and just waited for Bert to call - which happened at ten til three. She had just gotten up, was going to have a cup of coffee, then get ready and leave. I decided that I had enough time to go back to Walmart and do my shopping in that hour.... (am I bad or what?)
I ended up pulling in Kroger right behind her, so I guess I figured the time pretty darn close!
We got our gasoline in our respective vehicles, talked about going to a fish fry tonight, and she said she was going home and I said, "me, too!" and I explained about already going shopping (she laughed) and we both left.
A little after 6 that night, I still hadn't heard from her about the fish fry, so I called and her mom said that she wasn't even home yet! What! After a couple more phone calls, I've got more people worried and nobody knows what is going on. Finally, half an hour or so later, she calls me and tells me that she is just now leaving Walmart and isn't going to go to a fish fry. I told her to call the people I had called and let them know what had happened, because I had called them. She had decided to stop at Walmart for "just one thing" but she doesn't shop much and she doesn't shop there, so she couldn't find these things....sigh.
Needless to say, Ron and I stayed home and I made my little shrimp dish for our supper. We played on the Wii instead of just watching TV, too. Man, was it hard going back to the regular golf game after all the mini-golf we've been playing!
Saturday was just a stay-at-home day, with neither one of us doing very much. Ron went outside to piddle around out in the driveway, but he didn't stay outside very long. He did go over to a friend's to look at a lawnmower for him but that took him less than an hour.
Sunday. Church and lunch. We had decided to go over to Roy Rogers (okay, okay - Roney's) for our lunch today because we had plenty of time and we hadn't been there for a while. Plans - sounds good, right?
At the end of church (luckily), my phone rings - on vibrate (luckily) - and I answer it thinking something must have happened, because they know that we're in church between these times on Sunday mornings. It was Corgan, and he wanted to know if we can come down there because his dad wanted his dad to help him with putting up a new ceiling fan and replacing the garbage disposal and...and...my mind couldn't comprehend that it wasn't an emergency so I told Corgan that I'd call him back, and we talked about it once we really got out of church and out in the car.
I called Corgan back and got all the details, and we decided to go down there - why not? We have all day! So - Change of Plans!
We stopped to eat our lunch, which was those big breakfasts we like, in Georgetown, then on to Ripley we went.
I parked my butt on the couch to stay out of the way and Ron did what he needed to do with Josh, and all their things got done. We stayed for supper and we all discussed things coming up for the year, and we made hopeful plans for summer vacation. We shall see what Rumpke does with Ron this year...
Today was another Happy Homemaker Day, although I really only did the dishes and other little piddly jobs around here. No laundry - I didn't think there was enough for a full load of anything.
I did go outside and play Easter Fairy, hanging Easter Eggs on the trees in the front yard. I think a month of decorations is a decent amount of time to enjoy them.
For today being a Leap Day, it was a pretty enjoyable day, rather than just a humdrum boring everyday day.
