WHAT HAPPENED TO FRIDAY?

CAN'T BE SATURDAY, but it is.  What happened to my Friday?  Welp, I worked at the COTTAGE by unloading things of interest, washed a new dress and hung it out to air dry.  I had to shuffle some stuff making room for MORE things.  I managed to get this done.  By the time I got HOME late, my Hubby was exhausted from working on the main house projects.  

Both of us were too tired to fix supper, so chicken tenders were ordered with a side of sweet potato fries.  BBQ sauce to the rescue.  Before bed, I made sure our clothing was ready for Saturday events.  A Cross Country Meet.  

Got up early heading out for the Cross Country Meet taking McDonalds along for the ride. Breakfast Burritos are what I usually get when we do this.  

The country scenery was beautiful.  Gorgeous AUTUMN day for a run.  We got there early enough to sit up chairs and wait for the race.  Walking the terrain is more interesting when excited for the run.  I walk out about a quarter of a mile from their start line and after they have ran by I find a place to walk to so I can cheer Lil Miss on.  I don't always make it to the next place so I have to yell to where she can hear me within earshot.

COVERED IN HER MOM'S PRAYERS.

Then I head toward the finish line and wait for the motorized cart to drive by that runs ahead of the runners.  Waiting for her with my camera in hand goes fast.  She stayed in second place most of the race then went to third, back again to second then lost her position going into third again. It was an exciting race!  A TOUGH COURSE.  So very proud of her.  Proud of all of my grandchildren and I cheer them all on praying for each one.  I know God hears me.  HE's a good, good GOD.

Watching the athletes run is inspiring.  I wish I could still run.  Will see if I can improve with AGE.  grins.  Practice makes perfect or does it?  Perhaps I should try speed walking and go from there.

Watched the Awards Ceremony saying our good-byes and off we went to LUNCH at IHOP.  I wish I had ordered their salmon and two sides of veggies, but had tomato soup and a large salad with cubes of chicken.  Water tasted really good today as I was parched.

We went to GOODWILL to make a donation drop and then to the Manhattan Running Company to see if they had any magazines about runners.  Nope.  Menards became our destination to get things for house repairs then we drove the back roads HOME stopping off at the storage unit to make a drop off.  

While at Menards I climbed into a full body electric massage chair that reclines.  I don't know what was wrong with it, but it wouldn't go back into the upright position so I could get off of it.  I was being swallowed up whole by this mammoth chair.  Hubby came by and I asked him for help getting out of it.  He figured how to get the chair somewhat upright and I climbed out.  Not a pretty sight.  grins.  

Sitting and resting for a bit at HOME.  If I can pull it off, I will carry some Christmas tubs out of the basement and load the little car making a run back to the storage unit.  UPDATE:  Managed to get quite a few tubs into the car and headed to our storage unit.  

Eyeballing the basement makes me know that it will probably take 3 or 4 days to clear this place out.  Maybe 5.  I can do this and count it a great accomplishment for some one whose back isn't so great.  All of this should count as aerobic exercise.  Please give me a metal and or ribbon for participating.  I deserve it, babee.

It turned out to be a gorgeous AUTUMN DAY.  GORGEOUS.  One of those that would be heavenly to just sit and take the day in.  

This is the week-end and I must forge ahead making progress on this here move.  Praise the LORD for days like today.
