Long Day

I got up at 7 AM and left the house around 8. The exercise class was good. I will lead it Mondays. Then I went to the Decker's house to feed the cats. Shadow was so loving. She missed her family! Pumkin ignored me. Didn't come upstairs. Maybe he thinks I'm the one who made his family disappear! From the Decker's, I went to Mary Lou's. Her therapist was there so I didn't get to visit with her. I left the cycle machine and went home. I did get a National Geographic address which I needed.

Around the first of the year, I got a notice from the National Geographic offering a subscription for only $12.00 and I took them up on it. My check was cashed, but I haven't gotten one magazine. I told them if they weren't going to honor my subscription, to send my money back to me. I hope I'll hear from them. I really would like to read the Geographic again.

Back Again

I had to go back to Walmart to get some things that I forgot yesterday. I got some blush and nail polish. I think the blush is too light, but in the bathroom light, I can't really tell. The nail polish is light too, but I like it. I keep my nails short so dark polish doesn't look good on short nails.

I ordered a new keyboard from Amazon today. Don't think the mouse comes with it. I can get used to the one Dad gave me-the one with the roller ball your thumb uses so the mouse itself doesn't move, or I can get a new one.

I finally lost some weight-3 pounds. It'll just take me longer since I'm not exercising much. Tomorrow, I think I will walk around the Wellness track after exercise class. I have to feed Karen's cats and take a stationary bike over to Mary Lou. She had her knee replaced and will need the bike to help her recover.

Forrest will have a blood drive as his Eagle project. It will be on Sunday from 8:00 AM-1:00 PM. Our church starts at 1:00 PM and I don't know if I want to go to Hazel Green or Fayetteville at 8:00 AM and then try to get to Madison by 1:00 PM. I can't give blood because I've had cancer, so I've been told, but I would like to be there to support Forrest. Trudy said she could get me back to church on time, so I don't know what I'll be doing. I'm proud of Forrest for sticking with Scouting and getting his Eagle.

Hello To You

My favorite keyboard died today. It was a nice one. I don't know how to describe it, but I was used to it and it was fine. Now, I have to use the small, white one that Frank hides out in his room for just this kind or occasion. I won't get used to it, for I will buy one of my liking!

Exercise was good today. I can't wait until my new DVD's come in. One is chair exercises and the other one is chair...dancing...but not really. It's to peppy music and you wave your arms a lot, I think. I was impressed enough to order it.

I bought groceries at Walmart. I didn't get much food. I bought a night gown, a lipstick and some blush, which pushed the price up a bit. They want 98 cents for a green pepper and 88 cents for one cucumber. I don't buy those things normally, but that is a huge price to pay for them.

It got up to 89 degrees today with the sun shinning. I walked out to get the mail but it hadn't come. I spent 15 minutes on the exercise bike and walking out to the mail box again will just add to the exercise total.

I sure get hungry in between meals, lately. I need to eat more veggies but I don't want to. I drink diet coke to help scare off he hungries. The supper meal is usually a bit more calories than the lunch and more satisfying. Plus, I save the dessert for my late night snack before I go to sleep and that makes the day worth it! Nothing like being on a diet and getting to eat chocolate!

Trip Again

Frank had bought an Apple product last year but the Apple headquarters didn't have it registered. They registered it anyway even though he didn't have a receipt. So we had to go to H'ville to the Apple store to find out if he had paid for the Apple product or not.

While on our way, the car was acting strange, so I stopped in the Collins parking lot and Frank got out to check the tire pressure. One tire only had 7.5 pounds of air! We went to Big 10 Tires and got it fixed. We ran over a roofing nail somewhere. Had we not gone today, the tire would have gone flat and we couldn't use it. It happened on the vintage Accord.

Frank explained his story to the people at the Apple store and they decided he had probably paid for it and all was well there. We were thankful that we found the tire before it lost all of its air.

Exercise Completed

I did fairly well leading the exercises today. There were quite a few left over after I did the exercises I had written down. Barbara and Jan helped me when I didn't know what to do. It was fun and I wasn't nervous at all. I didn't think I would be.

After exercises, I came home. I don't have any thing to do here. The house is fairly clean and nothing is calling my name. Maybe I'll go out and see what Walmart offers. We decided to pay bills so I won't go to Walmart.

Changes Made

The weather was very threatening this morning and I took my umbrella. It didn't rain until after I got home, thankfully.

The Bishopric was reorganized today. Bishop Falconbury is still Bishop, but Bro. Black was moved to 1st counselor and Larry Garbett is the 2nd counselor now. Tony Allen was released. It'll be better for his family since Jackie is sick. There will be a job for Tony for he is too good a man to be jobless long.

Our last Primary in our old building was a good one. Sis Gorton had two priesthood men come and talk about what ordinances were with the older children and the younger children. It was very enjoyable.

I have 6 more days on the diet but I have new food coming this week. I've gotten down to the things that I picked over and now have to eat!

I decided to help out with the exercise class at the Senior Center. Jan asked about anyone wanting to help out to come on and over the week-end I decided I could do it. My first try will be tomorrow morning. If I forget anything, the class will help out and show me what I forgot.

Weather

The rain came and I think we are under a tornado watch until 5 PM or something. Trudy said the brunt of the storms will be tomorrow morning. Good going to church weather. This will be the last time we meet in our building. Mother's Day, May 9th, we will begin meeting in the Madison building. It will be wild! No one will know where they are supposed to go and there will be another Ward meeting in the building too. I'm a bit nervous about it all, but it'll be okay.

I'm washing towels and clothes now. The towels are the large ones that Dad has on his beds and I expect they will take a long time to dry. I have other towels to wash and several sets of sheets. They can wait until another day. I don't like folding sheets since I'm so short. Most of the sheets are for a twin bed so that's not too bad.

Dad had to replace the sprayer on the kitchen sink. I did without one for a long time but they are so handy. I cooked two califlowers today and they will be yummy tonight for supper.

I have a new mouse on this computer and I'm not used to it. There's another one that doesn't move around, you just move a ball around. My thumb is too nervous to use it. I guess I can get used to it if I have to. Ugh! The older I get the less I like change!
