THIS WEEK WILL BE INTERESTING AS I HAVE PHYSICAL THERAPY APPOINTMENTS. First time evah.
Today, I got up early and went to Manhattan to do a little shopping before my therapy session. The weather is on the cooler side of things, but a nice day. Went to STARBUCKS for a Bistro Box then parked the car outside DILLARDS at the Mall to dine in the automobile. I'd like to get a new housecoat and thought DILLARDS would be a great place to start looking.
They had two at about $68. White Turkish robe. Tried one on and it wrapped around me just a little too snug. Welp, onto the next place, but first I wanted to see what was in their Kitchen section. Fun to just look and get ideas. It's been so long since I shopped Dillards. They weren't very busy so social distancing wasn't a problem.
Off to the next stop. HOBBY LOBBY to get Hubby some art supplies. They don't have housecoats, but they do have a huge selection of faux flowers and greenery. 50% off LAVENDER came HOME with me to make another wreath. grins.
Went to WALMART. Parked the car then changed my mind and decided not to shop just yet. Better go to Therapy session, because by the time I drive across town it would be time to go to the appointment. So off we went across town driving through road construction to the therapist. Sat in the car waiting until time. When I checked in, the receptionist said she had been trying to reach me and couldn't get through to tell me the therapist is sick. I have another appointment this week anyways so I'll return.
There's something wrong with my landline to not be able to get through. She tried to leave a message and the phone told her to enter a PIN number. A PIN number? It has never done this before that I know of, so we tried calling our landline with a cellphone and got the same message. Not sure what that is all about.
SO I didn't get to see the therapist today. I told her that I would call a head of time next time to see if the therapist is in.
Off to TARGET. I love shopping at TARGET. Looked in their discount bins. Found a few little items. No housecoats. Maybe I ought to just dye my old housecoat and give it another ten years. Shall see.
Before heading out of town, I decided to check out GOODWILL and ROSS also FIVE BELOW. Picked up a cute macrame handbag. THE SAK purse at GOODWILL. Nothing at ROSS. FIVE BELOW...2 books.
One book is Grow ALL YOU CAN EAT IN 3 SQUARE FEET and the other, Eat to Beat Illness by Dr. Rupy Aujla. Purchased these from FIVE BELOW. They usually have a nice selection of books to choose from. For some reason I like buying books from time to time. Since I am in a health mode, these caught my eye. Great pictures as well.
By this time I was ready to head HOME and call it good. Tomorrow will be another busy day. PTL. Drove through the CITY PARK and looked at the gorgeous tulips still displaying their gorgeous colors. So pretty.
I made a huge salad yesterday and will use it up tonight along with some small pork chops. Maybe some green beans. Water to drink.
The salad was made up of kale, olives, cherry tomatoes, spinach, carrots, radishes, chickpeas, black beans, sprinkled with Ocean Spray Craveology. I have to get some more of this stuff. On the look out for it. It adds some umph to a common salad.
Yesterday, we ate some ribs that our Son-in-law smoked. Wonderful flavor.
When we went to TARGET, we bought a new modern scale. Tried it out and PRAISE GOD, I had lost a couple of pounds since I went to the doctor's appointment. Yes, it probably is just water, but still I was glad the weight was less than before. I have a journey ahead of me and it will take some time to get there.
Drinking spring water and unsweetened iced green tea. Eating smaller portions of meat and beefing up the veggies portions. I believe I need to eat more fruit than I have been. This morning for breakfast I had a small Red Delicious apple and water because I knew I would be on the go and could pick up a Bistro Box around 11.
FIG NEWTONS came to mind. I bought some FIG NEWTON cookies at TARGET. I felt like I needed the figs to help with health. Went with a whole grain kind. Haven't tried these before. Was really good for an afternoon snack. Only one cookie.
This evening I will need to rest and get ready for the rest of the week. SNOW is suppose to blow in this evening. Whaaaah. It would be alright with me if this didn't happen. THE LET IT SNOW signs are all put away and SPRING signs are out. I think it's alright to let the snow go into hiding until CHRISTMAS.
On the HOME front: The dining room table is filling up as I clear it off. Oh my. Dear Lord, help me get to the bottom of this. Thank you. I am making progress, but still not. How can that be? I did buy a shoebox to put some figurines in for transporting them and storing them for a difference. So I will say I made progress.
My pile of papers that need to be gone through and filed has shrunk some. It's ongoing for sure.
I came across a Kitchen idea for our cottage. By the time I get to where we will live there, I will have had to downsize like mad. WORKING ON THIS. This is a mental workout thinking through what to get rid of. Where will everything go when I get there? I just about have it figured out. I think. Well maybe.
Gathering ideas for now on creative ways to make the cottage more charming and better. In my head, I entertain the thought for hours.
JUST GOT A PHONE CALL FROM MY DAUGHTER. We didn't go to the track meet today, but LIL MISS placed and made her best time ever on a windy day in the one mile. Hurrah. Aint that great!
SO very proud of her.
