I used my iPod for my music to go to sleep with but it woke me up, or I was sleeping lightly around 3 AM, and I was wide awake. I slept lightly the rest of the night and went to bed for an after breakfast nap after 8 AM. I got up at 10:15 AM and later this evening I realized that I had missed my piano student! I hated to call and to say how sorry I was to miss it, but it turned out okay because they didn't come because of other circumstances, so all was well.
I met with Janet today for strength training. I used 10 lb weights, or one weight, but I forgot which muscle group it was. None of the weights were too hard today. I wore my new work-out outfit, too. It's black cropped pants with a purple stripe down the legs and a purple pull over with the same stripe over the shoulders and sides. It's always fun to work out with Janet.
Tomorrow, I'll teach at the senior center and maybe go to Curves but I might just go on over to visit Trudy. Yes, that's what I'll do-skip curves. I hate a routine.
Frank was sick again today. He's going to go back up on his medicine to try and keep the fevers away.

New Wednesday
I taught at the senior center the first time on Wednesday today. There were 12 people exercising. I went by my notes and didn't skip any exercises this time and came out with the music like always. I Went to Curves afterwards. The lady, Pam, who owns Curves, is trying to sell it. It'll be interesting to see what happens.
Came home at 10:30 AM and started cooking. I cooked some wheat berries, some dried beans and my hamburger mixture. I was through by 12:00 PM and I have two pots to wash up tonight. I ran out of steam before I got to the pots. I took a little nap afterwards.
Frank is still working on the tax report and I helped him with the medical part by reading off the Dr visits and Medco expenses from the checkbook. He'll get it ready before April 15 or maybe it's the 17th this year, I don't really remember.

Wild Flowers
When I walk to the mail box every day, I notice the little flowers growing wild in the yard. Some are very tiny and some are big enough to pick and bring into the house and put in a vase. I found small yellow flowers on tall stalks growing and I picked some. They turn towards the sun in the day time and close up at night. It's nice to see them do that.
Today I picked up Wanda at her house and took her to Ruby Tuesday's for lunch. We both had the salad bar and then split a double chocolate cake dessert with vanilla ice cream. That was the best part of the meal! I had to eat mine too fast for I didn't want to be the last one eating, but I like to savor my sweets and eat small bites at a time. I bought her some kitchen linens and a pot of yellow Zinnias for her birthday, which was April 1st while Mary Kate was here. We had a nice time. I came back and washed the bird sheets with another set of sheets for my bed. No, I had other things to wash, and I had to fold the sheets that were still in the dryer. I read from the Book of Mormon and from my John Grisham novel. Was getting sleepy but didn't want to take a nap at 3 PM, so I went downstairs and rode on my bike for 20 minutes and then lifted weights and used the tubes. It's the first time I've worked out at home for some weeks. I'll teach at the senior center tomorrow and will go to Curves afterwards. Maybe I can get to Curves more now that I'm teaching 3 times a week. I get tired of having a routine to follow and sometimes have to misbehave!

Busy Day
I woke up at 5 AM and then snoozed 'til 6 and finally got up at 6:45 AM. I didn't know how long it would take for me to drink my milkshake and didn't want to be late getting away from the house for exercise class. It didn't take me any longer than when I ate a bowl of cereal. The milkshake contains an egg, a large glass of milk a large banana and 2 caps of soy protein powder, three ice cubes and into the blender it goes. It fills up a large red plastic glass I have. I'm supposed to leave my denture out for two weeks until I go back and see the Dr-Dentist. I put them in when I go out and take them out when I come home. I can eat some boned chicken that we have cans of mixed with light mayo. That's good when I get really hungry.
Exercise class went well today. We had about 12 participants. I forgot two of the exercises and we had an abundance of time on our hands so we just improvised some moves! One would think that I wouldn't forget anything when I have me notes right there to look at when I need them. Everyone seems to enjoy the class and I do too. I will be teaching Wednesdays too, so I am the sole teacher for that class. At one time, there were three of us and we only had to teach one day a week, but the other two ladies stopped coming and I am "it".
I went on to Curves after exercise. I hadn't been last week because Mary Kate and kids were here. I got a lot of exercise shopping! I came on home after Curves, forgetting I needed to get Wanda a birthday present. After scripture study at Karen's, I went back into town. I got Wanda some dish towels, hot pads and cloths and a pant of Zinnias. I will go over to her house tomorrow at 11:30 AM and pick her up and take her to lunch. I can't think of the name of the place where we'll be going but they have a yummy salad bar and I know I can chew the food there!
Frank is trying to coral the necessary items so he can do the taxes. After he's gone, I don't know what I'll do about the tax. We make no money and I don't know why I would have to fool with it. Someone will help me out, come that time.

Saturday Before Easter
Didn't do much today. I waited around thinking Frank wanted to work on the taxes but he didn't. I drove into Walmart and bought two watches. Why I wanted two, I don't know. One is digital and the other is analog. The one I'm wearing is a light purple or lavender and has a cloth band that had a deeper lavender and black stripes on it. The analog watch has a round face, the date, is silver with a black buckle band. Both are by Timex.
Frank gave his old iPod to Trudy and she and Forrest drove over and got it around 6:15 PM. It was good to see them both but Forrest had cologne on so we met outside. Frank got some pictures of us three. Forrest is 6'3" and probably is still growing. He's a handsome fellow!
I have a new dress to wear to church tomorrow. I didn't get it as an Easter dress but I will wear it the first time tomorrow. It comes down too low in front but I have something to wear that covers me up. I've been wanting a dress for a while now. Skirts and blouses are nice but a dress is special-to a person who wears none!

42 Years
April 7th will be the 42nd anniversary of us joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It was right before Frankie was born and we were baptized two weeks after he was born. He's 42 yrs old now. Trudy is 40 and Mary Kate is 37. It's been a good life.
Carrielee came for her piano lesson today. She's moving right along. She's into playing with both hands now and we'll have to not work so fast through the books. Her family were going to H'ville on a field trip after her lesson.
After her lesson, I went to Walmart for some eggs and bananas and calcium pills. That's all I got so my bill wasn't very high. I came home a napped a little while until Frank was cleaning the bird cages and Rosko started hollowing. Nothing like waking up to the shrill tones of a nanday singing!

Forget-Me-Not
After my dental surgery and Mary Kate's leaving, I slept in today and missed Carrielee's piano lesson at 10 AM. My tooth has been good and I haven't taken any pain medicine today. I will use it Sunday when I put my denture in. Can't go to church without my teeth! Dr told me to leave the denture out for two weeks. I go back to see him then. I'm still drinking my meals which isn't too bad.
We have lots of trash for the boys to pick up today. When Mary Kate and I cleaned up Trudy's old room, there were bags and bags of trash and we had several bags to take to the ReStore. Most of it was flowers and floral stuff that I had had in the closet for years. The entire downstairs could use a good cleaning and throwing out session.
Just talked to Carrielee's mom and they can come for her lesson tomorrow at 9 AM. Which will be good. She won't miss a lesson and we both will be happy.
