A pretty regular day and ... getting up

Side note:  Vertigo is NOT my friend.  No way, no time, no where.
I've woken up with vicious bouts of vertigo both of these days, and it is not pretty.

Tuesday was pretty much a regular day - after finally getting up after my tableting and reading, I ran uptown to do some errands.  I went to Gold Star for my lunch while there, but I only ate one Gorito there because I was very aware that I had to weigh in tonight.  I brought the other one home with me after all my errands were run.
I just sat in my recliner until I heard from Ron, then I walked out to meet him.  And when I walked out to meet him, I took my walking stick with me.  I was still that tired!  I was determined to get some exercise in, though, so I did it.  I didn't even make it to the curves this time.  I guess the two times I stopped had something to do with that...

Back home, I just sat there until just before time to leave for my meeting, then I went out and cut some of my irises for everyone at the meeting to enjoy - and they did!  When I weighed in, to my dismay, I found out that I have gained.  Only .2 of a pound, but a gain nevertheless.  I don't get it!  All those salads....sigh.
I come back home and eat my other Gorito for my supper and that was it for the day.  That's all I ate for the whole day - no ice cream, no peanuts, no nothing.  I was disgusted.

I also got a text from my daughter-in-law.  My grandson's award ceremony is tomorrow - at 8:30am.  8:30am!!  Ye gods!!  I told her I'd try, but I'm not promising....


Well, the alarms started going off this morning and I laid there trying to decide if I wanted to get up and do this or not.  I finally made the decision that since my brain had started thinking, I might as well.  I staggered my way into the shower and vertigoed my way through my shower.  Oh, my, was that fun (NOT!)!!  I don't know what is causing this, but it can quit any time now.
I managed to get dressed without falling over, and finally left only 10 minutes later than I had wanted to.  I get to Corgan's school with five minutes to spare, thanks to construction on 52.

The award ceremony was great!  The principals and teachers were wonderful to the kids, and Corgan got his awards - 4 or 5 of them - and Super Granny took a blue zillion pictures, at least half of which didn't turn out.  After all the grades (5th - 8th) were done, we got to leave.
Chelle, Jean, and I went over to Maysville to grab a bite to eat and for Chelle to go to Walmart to get some stuff for them over the next couple of days.  We went to Frisch's, where Jean got her fish sandwich with a salad and baked apples, Chelle got a chicken wrap with a salad and onion rings, and I got a Buddie Boy (with American cheese) and a cup of chili.  See?  I can be good!
I also stopped over there and put $10.00 worth of gasoline in my car, since it was 15 cents per gallon cheaper than over here in Ohio!  Then I dropped them back off and came on home, where I went back to bed, though I never did get back to sleep.

When Ron texted me, I didn't walk out to meet him since I was expecting a phone call (that never came - maybe tomorrow).  When he got home, he went out and finished mowing before the rain starts, since the ground is slowly drying up enough to drive the rider over.
Then he came in and we talked about supper.  Neither of us really wanted salads tonight, even though it was so hot.  Ron finally made himself some chicken salad, and I made myself some potato soup, and that was supper.  We had our ice cream bars for dessert a little while later, and that was that.

Getting on the computer a bit later, I find out that a friend needs a truck tomorrow, so I ask Ron to drive my car tomorrow.  He wasn't real happy about it, but as I explained, he understood and agreed.  So, now, I have to get up again tomorrow morning and be in Georgetown at 9am.  Ai yi yi!

Can I do this two days in a row?  (Sure I can!)
