'NO CANDY TODAY'

IN THAT MOMENT OF TIME between sleep and waking up, I couldn't remember what day it was.  Recalling what day it is seems to be happening more frequent for me.  It doesn't take long to remember when I check the date on the computer and compare it to my miniature calendar.

Sleeping Hygiene is a new term for me.  Oh well.  

What shall I do today?  Banking business where I activate my money card.  A load of laundry in the machine.  Gather some small boxes of books to start a stack.  Look through my stash of bluejeans to see if I have a pair that will fit me NOW.  Continue on the paperwork that is by my TV recliner.  Take a short walk around the block before noon to get some sunshine and stretch my legs in a good gentle way.  Locate the SPRING DOOR WREATHS and some plastic Easter eggs in the cellar to bring upstairs.  Work on Easter Baskets.  Purchase some Easter cards. Simple things needing done.

NO CANDY TODAY!  I ate Milk Duds last night until the cows came HoME.  Umm, had quite a few chewy ones that didn't melt in my mouth, but lingered.  My bad.  Today, I will deliberately make the effort to nOt have any candy at all.  I seem to go in spurts where I do pretty well avoiding the sugar and then nOt.  Pushing the veggies and some fruit seems to be easier for me these days, but then I still eat too much sugar.  shucks.

It's going to be a gorgeous day so I must get out in it and soak in the sunshine.  Perhaps I'll drive over to get Hubby's meds, go the extra mile and return a Walmart purchase and stop in at the GOODWILL to see if they have a pair of bluejeans that will fit me for $5 to $6 instead of spending over $30 for Walmart jeans that do not fit right.  The last pair I purchased was cut to where the back swooped too low on the backside.  I could get these to zip, but then why pay so much for something that doesn't really fit?

I have never sewed myself a pair of bluejeans with a zipper.  Never.  I'm not sure I could do this. I did sew a pair with a drawstring when I was a young momma with two kids.  This comes to mind. I think I will do some sewing this SPRING and stop making excuses as to why I'm not sewing at all.  The treadle sewing machine will be moved back into the Dining room to where I can actually use it.  Where it is at in the Utility room, I cannot sew on it.  I'll need some help getting it out of there and placed in the Dining room.  The machine is very HEAVY.  I'm not sure I can muscle it.  

THE OTHER DAY, I was craving all beef HOT DOGS.  While out shopping, we went ahead and got some.  It's been a while since we had dawgs.  Tasted really good and we weren't at a ballgame either.  

  

I had 2!  One with ketch-up with pickle relish and one with mustard with pickle relish.  Warmed, they were delicious.  My bad.  A small amount of potato chips to the side.  Wait a few days then go round two with the left-over dawgs that remain in the fridge.  

Sipping on HOT Vanilla Comoro TEA.  I've been starting my mornings out this way as I figure out my plans for the day doing some paperwork and blogging some.  Maybe I should do some morning exercises before eating.  I'm not always hungry in the mornings.  

Mornings generally start out by taking meds with spring water on an empty stomach waiting an hour before food or drink.  Put a load of laundry in.  Put away the dishes in the drying rack. Figure out the day plans.  Sip TEA, Groom and get dressed.  

Being the week-end, I'll be babysitting my Grandpup.  Last time we puppy sat for her, she perked up.  She'd been depressed as our Granddaughter disappeared to college and Doty didn't understand where she was.  It was heart warming to see her perk up.  She's getting old, but there are times she acts like a puppy.  I think she's about 13 years old now.  13x7= 91 years old in doggy years.  That's strikes a cord in me.
