Alone on Sunday
Jesse left for church and here I sit. Until I'm feeling closer to 100% well, it's been decided I should avoid close contact with lots of people and spend limited time outdoors until the pollens, etc. settle down.
I looked like a "quack" when I shopped last week. I wiped down the grocery cart handles with sanitizer and then resanitized my hands (and the steering wheel) after loading purchases. I'm just not used to being this cautious and have to frequently remind myself of germs! germs! germs! If you are interested in making a good stock investment, my use of GermX should make for record sales this year!!!
Great news! . . . I slept like a rock last night. Wonder why?! (see yesterday's entry)
Got up this morning and made an old-fashioned country breakfast. Biscuits with sausage gravy and eggs. I'm still contemplating what to take out of the freezer for dinner tonight. Jesse offered to take me out for a late lunch, like a Chinese food buffet or something. I think he's worried because last night and this morning my breathing was slightly labored. It doesn't seem to bother him unless he's around the house watching me and sees me holding my upper body a little stiffly. That's how I am most always - a little tight in the upper back. Still, I'm eons away from how bad I felt one month ago. Praise God!
It's quickly becoming an overcast day. We are supposedly getting heavy storms later this evening and through tomorrow morning: Actually, a pretty good chance, according to all the different news channels. I've quit listening to just one report on one TV station. I take the reports from our *three* local stations and divide the rain percentage and temperature by *three* then go by the "average" numbers I get!!! It's not cool, unless you call upper 70's cool. But, I'm burning an Oatmeal Raisin Cookie candle for fall ambiance!
I think I'll take Tango in the shower with me this morning. I've hardly spent time with her this week. She'll never train if I don't take the time with her. She loves to fly around the bathroom and I sprinkle her with water to keep her feathers clean and fluffy. You are supposed to "mist" cockatiels; but, spraying her with a bottle sounds rather cruel!
Off to the freezer, then the birdcage, then the shower!!!

We were supposed to get rain last night, but did we? Nope.... Our ponds & the reservoir are wayyyyyy down....
RYC: I was a gymnast for 1 year - when I was in 8th grade. It was just becoming "the thing to do" & my school decided to start a team. I made the team, then all extra curricular activities were cancelled b/c of the coal strike, I think it was. I never got to do any more w/ it, but all the kids have been in it, off & on, since Darci was 8. Camryn was raised in the gym b/c I was working in the office, running the place; same w/ the T's. We changed gyms, & when Darci decided she really wanted to walk at 25 & quit the team, the coaches begged for Camryn. They saw her toe point while she was in rec classes.
At our old gym, Casey competed for several years (same time as Darci) then won a couple of events & the all-around at State as a Class 6, decided he was done, & wanted to play football. Kiernan never competed - never interested - but took rec classes. Caitlin took rec classes, tried out for team & didn't make it, lost interest & quit.
The coaches begged for my T's b/c of all the talent they saw in Darci & Camryn & wanted to get them started early. They blame us for having such talented kids & say we won't ever get out of the gym... at least not for another 15 or so years.
See what happens when you ask a simple (yet involved) question?
Happy Sunday! ~Lori
That breakfast sounds yummy!
I do the same thing with the GermX at the store, and I haven't even been severely sick like you were this summer. I hose down the cart handle as well as the inside of the cart where the twins will be because they still like to put their mouths on everything (yick).
Did y'all get your rain?
Hope you have a good week!
I hope you are feeling better soon. It takes me ages to get over colds/coughs too.
Your breakfast sounds so tempting!
Thank you for your kind comments on my site. I appreciate them and look forward to getting to know you.

Thanks for stopping by my site. I'm sorry to read that you have been ill, it sounds like for a long time. It is good to read you are on the mend however!
The Cheesecake Factory had a huge menu and the prices ranged. Dinner for the two of us with one appetizer, two entries, two desserts and two nonalcoholic beers added up to about $70.00. Not too bad
Blessings
