A Mixed Bag weekend
Hey all, it's been a rather mixed bag of activities this weekend. Yesterday morning I attempted and made the first mile of the 5k race at Woodmont day. I clearly wasn’t as prepared for it as I had hoped. Not really dressed for it and didn’t eat anything prior. I was a little disappointed in that aspect but with many messages of encouragement and support it took the sting out of it. I was really tired for the rest of the day.
Not as tired that I couldn’t make my session with A and work out. We discussed the past week and food intake and the step goals. I had to promise to come to classes today (heading there now) and Monday. Already Monday will be difficult because I have a family gathering for dinner tomorrow night at the same time class is. I might be able to go to the 7:30 class.
After the session I went to Panera for their asian sesame salad. I came home and had it. The rest of the afternoon I slept until I got a text message from Liz inviting me to dinner last night with Jen and Baby Sophie. I also had time with her sister-in-law and niece. I left fairly early. Liz texted me this morning to see if I was okay. I told her of course but I was more tired than I realize. She is really excited about having everyone at her house for dinner tomorrow night.
I was relieved that the Lawyer decided to cancel our meeting yesterday. He wanted to have his meeting with Debra first and so we will speak another time. I knew this was coming and when Debra and I spoke on Friday I told her to call me the minute they were finished. I was relieved because I knew that I would not react well to whatever he was going to suggest or insist upon.
Anyway I went to bed around 9:30 and was probably asleep by 11. I spent some time surfing the web.
Sky tried to get me up at 5:30 and dd pretty well. We did our normal Sunday routine, eventually I went back upstairs and did crossword puzzles for a few hours and signed up for class and then watched TV and did some writing.
I had class there were maybe 9 of us. It was great to be there. Unfortunately my ankle continued to give me trouble as it does from time to time this afternoon and evening.
AFter class I came home had some veggies and then relaxed until it was time to go to bingo. Made a stop at DD and I suspect that I won’t be sleeping much tonight.
I went to the nursing home where I found RecreationalKathy doing paperwork and then started setting up for bingo. She went to get more residents. I started putting on the bingo cards. I had seventeen people and today was really a long hour. They were very chatty and not enough chips.
I left around 3:30 and headed home. I relaxed for a bit and then ordered dinner from outback (the porterhouse steak looked more like pork). I fed the cats, and did some laundry.
I finally pulled the big girl panties on cleaned the main part of the refrigerator. The top of it as well as one of the onions was degrading into mush. It took about 3 small boxes of baking soda. I took my time and tried not to get frustrated and it looks much better. I took a couple of the shelves out and it took me a little bit of time to get them back in.
The only thing that worried me was the fact there was a film developing on the shelves and a few pieces of hair strands which gagged me and probably will after you all read this. Admittedly I only did half a job because most of the shelves on the door were fine except the freezer ones. I didn’t do the freezer though and I probably should have turned the machine completely off.
Some time after the family gathering I will go grocery shopping. I have a list already to get.
As I mentioned the weather this weekend has been hot and beautiful...very hot yesterday as it got into the 83 I believe. Today was in the high 80’s and was not conducive to walking anywhere. As I write this it is 80 degrees when nearly an hour ago it was 88. We may get some rain over night. That’s just great i opened more windows to get some cross breeze.
The titans seem to be handling the temperatures well. Sky travels from upstairs to out back. Tiger stayed out back for most of the day until it was time for dinner. She is there now. I let Sky go downstairs to the cellar a couple of times and I opened the closet door for him to go there. I probably will find him there once I finish for the night.
This week will have family visits early in the week. The Gym will dominate the week for the most part. I have two meetups this week. The mid week coffee talk and then dinner with the ladies on Saturday night. I will be meeting with debra at the end of the week. While work will have a couple of meetings and a pizza party to celebrate another successful FY end.
I was going to update my health blog but it will take far too long and my self imposed bedtime is coming up fast.
