Mon. & Tues - Feb. 13 & 14
I am going to try doing this in two stages - will finish Tuesday evening after having dessert with the ladies - so here goes --
Monday was a full day. I did the computer work for Mobile Meals in the a.m. and unfortunately the ink cartridge had to be changed about half way through the 12 sets of labels. Thank goodness, a replacement is always kept handy, but it did slow things down some. Ruth was in to balance the checkbook and then was off to the YMCA for an exercise class, and then was taking two lady friends to St. Joseph for doctor appointments. She is leaving on Thursday for a cruise in the Carribean.
Jim did errands early and then both of us did errands together - seems we just keep adding to the list. He did go out to see Phil, but he was at the hospital getting some bloodwork done. My annual physical seemed to go okay in the afternoon although my blood pressure was up again so one of my medications is being increased. I MUST GET WEIGHT OFF AND BEGIN EXERCISING!!!!
We have been watching the Olympics quite a bit and Jim has also being caught up in watching the celebrity pair skating on tv. The girls slept well last night as I didn't put them out until after 5:30 this a.m. and that was because Jim was already moving around in the bathroom and taking a shower.
We have spent much of Tuesday morning doing errands. First we went to County Kitchen for breakfast, then on to several errands. Margaret had given us a cell from one of the Pink Panther movies years ago and I had sloppily framed it. We had taken it to Kelly last week and picked it up this morning - am really impressed by how he matted it and framed it - looks professional now. Of course when we got the cell, we didn't have the money to have it done right. Kelly said the cell is in good shape in spite of our mishandling.
Kansas City is predicting the temp to get into the 60s today. We are anticipating taking the girls on a walk in a little while - they need it as well as us. Jim has been spending some time on the bicycle this a.m.
I started a new Joan Medlicott book yesterday - maybe called CHRISTMAS IN COVINGTON - and I have only a few pages left so hope to finish it this afternoon.
I am going to try to save this as a draft and then will add on after dessert with the ladies this afternoon.
-----------
Hmmm - think I have this idea of a "draft" figured out - that will be good.
We did walk this afternoon, but didn't attempt the slope(s) on Maple Street. Rather, we just walked basically a flat area, but probably managed at least a good mile. The girls were exhausted when we returned, quickly drank some water, and then took a deep doze.
We ended up with six for dessert - Helen, Peggy, Mary, Sandy, Pat, and yours truly. Helen was good and again had sliced pineapple and cottage cheese, Pat and Mary didn't indulge, but the rest of us of course had to sample something - Sandy had the taco soup, I had a piece of apple pie (had one put into a box to bring home for Jim) and Peggy had the champagne cake. We left a little earlier than usual as the place was filling up with Valentine Day celebrations.
Jim has breakfast with his two groups of old fogies tomorrow. I am not sure if I will stay home and have oatmeal or whether I will go to HyVee - might depend on what the scales say in the a.m. as I forgot to weigh today. Jim needs to make contact with Phil Willard and also needs to call the VA in Columbia to see what needs to be done to make him eligible for services there since he was cut loose from the clinic in Cameron.
I did finish the Joan Medlicott book this afternoon and am not sure if I will start another book this evening, crochet, hook, or just what television.
Be safe.
