SUNDAY. A COOL MORNING WAS A CALLING CARD FOR TAKING A WALK. I headed out and walked 8 laps on the track at the football field. I heated up at one mile, but kept going after I told myself I can do this and did.
It took me close to 50 minutes to walk two miles, but time stood still as I took each step and prayed out loud as I went. A cool breeze popped up from time to time as I was alone on the track. Wonderful environment to walk by myself.
Cooling off in the car as I sat sipping some bottled water. I drove the community for a few minutes admiring small town America. By the time I got HOME, I looked at myself in the mirror noticing my eyes were red from sweat dripping into them while I walked. I guess it surprised me as I don't remembering sweat going into my eyes.
While walking into the house I could feel my leg muscles becoming sore. I'll be cooling off inside as I sit in my recliner thinking about what the day will be like. I'd like a slow paced day at HOME. SO be it.
I ended up taking an afternoon nap and slept way too long. An alarm should have been set. Ran the vacuum sweeper in the living room and dining room. Drank some tea. I need to oil down my dining room chairs so I located some furniture polish and dusting rags, but think I need to get some Scott's Liquid Gold Wood Cleaner and Polish from the Hardware Store. That's something to get when I am out and about. Washed down the counter top next to the stove.
Quiet evening. I spent some time watching Dodie Osteen's Memorial/Funeral on the internet and then GILDED AGE. A 4th season will take place. As for the Memorial, I liked it when her casket was wheeled about for a final good-bye to all.
Dodie praying over the seats at Lakewood.
She once said that she wouldn't be like other Pastor's Wives as she did not play the piano or sing. Her Husband said he married her because she loved him so she decided she would love people.
She did. Small in stature, mighty in spirit.
I will be watching some of her videos on YOUTUBE which are available for free.
MONDAY. Raining outside so no walking this morning. I knew I had a lab appointment at 10 AM so I needed to wait on the walking anyways. Having my Vitamin B12 and Vitamin D checked at the doc's office. I read last night that you really should fast for these test, have them in the morning and not take any biotin for at least 48 hours. That 'ole biotin can mess up more labs than you can shake a stick at and the docs don't tell you this. I am reading about it elsewhere.
I want as accurate a test as possible. yep. The lab results should be in my HEALTH PORTAL by tonight or early tomorrow. Shall see where I am.
Before going to the appointment, I stopped by STARBUCKS to get my husband a hunger saver so he'd be a happier camper while I fasted before labs. I had to wait about 15 minutes and then I walked out of the office ready for some tea and a taco burger.
Parked the car at MENARDS and ate my hunger saver. We went shopping for Scott's Gold Liquid and came out with OLD ENGLISH instead which is fine with me. Picked up 4 more containers for a future GARDEN. We were HOMEWARD BOUND by noon.
Stopped off at a ANTIQUE EMPORIUM and walked about. No finds for me today.
The drive HOME was stunning. Just a hint of AUTUMN dusting the leaves with splashes of deep orange. This SUMMER HEAT is a beast and when the rains cool the temps down it seems like AUTUMN is close behind with the skies filled with puffy rain clouds. I believe the temps will return to HOT before cooling down to a more bearable embrace. The middle of AUGUST is still HOT. Dog Days of SUMMER are here. We'll have about another month of this and then the temps will gentle lower.
Hubby is taking a NAP and I feel like I could, but I'd better not. I need to work on laundry and oiling down the four dining room chairs. Grab some Q-TIPS for the detail work and get on with it.
Laundry's in and I'm fading.
I can feel sleep coming on.
