Tuesday
Not really much of a day. I did make my lazy ass do some exercises today, though. It had been a while and I had been telling myself that May was going to be the month to get back into this. I need to get back into this! I did some of my floor exercises, and I rode the exercise bike for a commercial break, too. I thought that was enough for the first day. It didn't burn many calories, but it was a start.
Ron got home from work pretty early, too - around 3:30. He wanted to take the car down to Tire Discounters to get that tire (the one with the wire showing through) looked at. Even though we had a 50,000 mile warranty on the tires and had less than 22,000 miles actually travelled, we figured that they would somehow throw all the blame over onto us and weasel out of the warranty. And that's exactly what happened - what a surprise! They first started out with a big story about how where the wires were showing proved it was an alignment problem, and that wasn't there fault. We asked them about them doing the alignment and it was - oh, no, we only do the alignment the first time we put the tires on the car! - can you believe it? Then they discovered that we were 3,000 over on bringing the car in for the next rotation (I can't believe how fast the miles go by!) and suddenly, that was a big cause of the problem, too. Ron and I were just looking at each other by then. The dude did offer to sell us new tires at a discounted rate - which just happened to match the rate we bought the tires at two years ago - but our credit wasn't good enough, so that fell through, just I told them (him and Ron) that it would.
Ron did talk him into putting an old tire (he had kept them when we bought the new tires two years ago) onto the rim the bad tire was on, so he could change the tire himself once we got home. I was really surprised when the guy agreed to do that, but he did. Once that was done, we drove home and then it was raining so Ron couldn't change the tire anyway. Such is life! Good thing I have nothing planned for tomorrow...
I drove Ron's truck up to my TOPS meeting, where I find out that I have lost another 1.2 pounds. Yay, me! The exact same number I lost last week! I will take it! I also told them all about my official diagnosis, and it went better than I expected. A couple people had questions, but everyone was very understanding.
After I got home, Ron and I made our big salads for our supper, which we ate while watching NCIS and NCIS:NO. Then Ron went to bed and I watched dead guys. Typical night.
Wednesday
May 4th....the two year anniversary of my falling and breaking my back. Two years already! I wish my back knew that it's been two years, but I think that's more the arthritis than anything else, but some days, depending on what I'm doing, or trying to do, it still barks ferociously at me. Thank God for the Australian Dream cream that I found that works so well for me!
I didn't have anything planned for today, just Happy Homemaker crap. Josh called me and wanted me to come meet him over at Meijer (to buy me some geraniums for my square flowerboxes). I agreed, got up and dressed, and went out the door. I saw the car sitting there with the little donut wheel on it. shitshitshit - I went back in and texted Josh to let him know that I can't come because of the tire. So -- phooey!
He called me once he got there, and we did the flower shopping over the phone. That was a riot!
Josh stopped on his way home to drop off the geraniums, getting here just after Ron had gotten home. Seriously. He got here maybe five minutes after Ron - it was some weird timing. Ron went out to start changing that tire, because I need the car tomorrow. Josh carried the flowers up to the front of the garage - I didn't want to leave them out by the boxes - and then just chatted for a few minutes before heading on home.
I made Ron and me bacon for supper while he took his shower and all, then we went up to church. I had a quick Altar Society meeting, and then we enjoyed a free concert there at the church. It was a very good concert - we saw this guy a couple of years ago, and he has improved greatly. He has his family (six kids!) singing with him now, as well as quite a few different instruments in his repertoire. I'm glad we got to go - it was a pleasant evening!
We got home in time for me to watch Criminal Minds, and that was our night.
What an anniversary!
You know - I think I'm really starting to dread the beginning of May.
May 2nd - my official cancer diagnosis (even though it's not so bad, it's still cancer)
May 4th - the fall/broken back and resulting everything
Tomorrow - the second, diagnostic big boob squish. Yeah. Dreading it. May 5th may join the list.
But - could be fun Cinco do Mayo with Bert and Teresa at Don Rigo afterward!
