That's a great attitude. I think I'll borrow that.

Cindy, everyone has days when everything is off schedule. For goodness sake I've been off schedule since Christmas and just when I was getting back on track my FIL got sick and died and our darling little grandson was born in the midst of all that trouble. I thought I'd be back to a regular exercise schedule by now but so many things need tending to with my FIL & MIL's business that some days are complete write-offs. Today is one of them. It's the complete journey that counts. Sometimes there are detours but the destination is the same and eventually we will get there.
As I said today is an off day for exercise. I had to go to my MIL's place today and get her to sign a few papers and then I decided I needed to go to town when DH gets home from his last bus run so instead of changing into exercise clothing I stayed in my jeans and t-shirt awaiting DH. I might get my bike done if I'm not too tired when I get home. I'm supposed to do my circuit workout but I'll be so tired afterwards I won't want to shop and I need things for the weekend.
The weekend is going to be just grand. DS, DIL and Baby are coming for the Easter weekend and I can't wait to get the baby in my arms. He is growing so much in just a month. Today he is 4 weeks old and on Saturday he'll be a proper month old from his birth date. I want to pick up a few Easter eggs (really good ones and not many) and a few groceries. And I just want to go somewhere by myself without any responsibilities of taking care of anyone for a few hours.
The weather is so nice today. The thermometer outside the window is at 18 degrees C, which is about 68 degrees F so it is glorious for this time of the year. The sun is even shining in between the sun showers. I have windows open and the warm wind is blowing through the house.
Martha Stewart is doing her thing there on the TV and I'm just ignoring her until something catches my eye. Nothing yet. But today I made the Cheese, Bean and Rice casserole from the Hillbilly Housewife site. It was like a savory rice pudding and very delicious. I'm going to make it again this weekend but instead of kidney beans I'm going to use black beans and serve it with salsa.
Susan, I've always wanted a watch like yours. Glad it's working so well for you.
Well, now you have another chapter in my life.
Have a good day and catch you later.
