Good afternoon GG’s,
It is one of those days where I have stuff to do, but didn’t feel like doing it, so ~ haven’t accomplished anything.
The night is young, so I still might be able to get a couple little sewing type things done ~ I can handle that I guess.
I haven’t slept as well the last few nights. Seems one of you wrote that you also had not rested well. I think I remember Lynn telling about some study where people reported (lots of people all over the country ~ all on the same night) that they had not slept well. Maybe it was that phenomenon going on.
So, last night was another of those nights. Got to bed late, and had hoped to sleep later on the morning end, but alas it was not to be ~ woke up at my usual work day getting up time, and for the life of me could not get back to sleep. Got up, but didn’t feel very peppy or like doing anything. I think the lack of sunshine today also added to my chair potato status.
I was supposed to go with DH to the Y today. We had an appointment for them to input the settings from the other location into the weight machines at this location so that we can use the machines at either location. I was tired and in pain ~ totally not up for any of that. So told DH (and prefaced the statement with I don’t want any eye rolling ~ LOL
to go without me and I would reschedule my appointment.
So, Kitty and I happily gorked for a while. I had a nap in the chair, and she enjoyed sitting on top of the heating pad that was over my knees. I feel a little better now that I got some more rest.
Had a rebellious moment and was craving something sweet like crazy, so had an English muffin with strawberry jam. Then decided just not to keep track of anything else today. I haven’t done too badly ~ just haven’t measured anything or marked it down.
Got to visit with my friend from Kansas City ~ she is out in Tucson staying with her dad (92yrs).
Got to visit with my sister as she traveled from Kentucky to Ohio. She will get to be up there for the holidays.
Dad had surgery yesterday to remove a spot of skin cancer from his arm, then they took a biopsy of his lymph node to check if it had spread. The Dr thinks it hasn’t but wanted to be sure. My dad is another one of those bad man patients. I talked to him this morning ~ he was doing pretty good and in good spirits, but not obeying Dr’s orders. He was supposed to be taking it easy and not cook or drive or anything. He proudly told me he had made breakfast this morning. I scolded him and he said that my sis-in-law has already scolded him too. She told me that she had his vehicle down at her place, so he wouldn’t drive. He doesn’t behave very well. This afternoon my sister called ~ she was there visiting mom and dad. She told me I was lucky that I wasn’t there, because I would probably be getting yelled at. She had just gotten yelled at and was outside sneaking a call to me to tell me about it. Dad was in pain. Hadn’t eaten all day and despite being told by the nurse to eat before taking his pain medication, he did not listen, took the pain pill, then complained because he was sick to his stomach. Hard to have sympathy for someone who will not follow the instructions. They are given for a reason ~ DUH!!!! (Sorry if I am disrespectful to my dad). He doesn’t yell at my sis-in-law ~ we figure, because she is not directly one of his kids ~ so she can get away with bossing him.
DH is at the library learning how to download books to a tablet thing he got. He had been wanting one, and did lots of research on the different kinds and got a HTC Flyer. He is like a kid with a new toy. That is why I was up late last night ~ he was showing it to me and let me play with it. I might even get to play with it from time to time.
I am thinking of maybe changing my user name here ~ saw on another post someone had asked to do that. I think they will do it once. I have never sort of liked the one I picked, but that was a long time ago when I first started with the internet and didn't have much experience. Glynne is the G from my first name added to my middle name. I saw something recently and it was a man's name ~ I don't want people to think I am a man. Yuck. Other poeple have neat names. I want one.
Sorry this got so long. Now I will do some personals. (Next post)
