the melting

oh boy, it's hot as a motherfucker today.  ninety two at two o'clock, hottest point in the day.  i am going to the store shortly, and then i'm going to grill later, but that's the last of my midday rambling.

anyway, i forgot to get back to this yesterday, so i'm playing catch up still.  not a problem.  long as my memory holds out, i'm going to just roll.

i know i got in the house yesterday from my runs, went to the noon meeting, decided against going to the store for something to cook and had an egg sandwich for lunch.  i pondered the possibility of going to get something for dinner.  but a part of me is just holding out for the day the money lands, so i cut up a chicken breast from monday, sauteed it with peppers, onions, garlic and spinach, hit it liberally with roasted diced tomatoes, topped it with provolone and parmesan cheese and baked it while i fixed the pasta to serve it over.  MexItalican.  i read some of the book i got from the library, watched a bit of tv, shut it down early and did the deep sleep.  that was about the long and the short of it.

today, i got up with prayer, went to the gym to hit the weight machines, which i didn't do yesterday.  i came home, ate breakfast after insulin and meds, and i ran a bath.  i shaved my face and took my bath and i got myself together for my meeting.  i forgot the donation can and something else which eludes me now, and we had a good meeting regardless.  we started collecting money for the anniversary meeting as well.

left the Fellowship Hall and went to lunch with Lonnie.  talked for awhile, checking on him.  he's got two kids on the verge of leaving the state for whatever tomorrow is going to begin to bring them, and he's understandably sad about it.  i gave him a leftover donut from the meeting and he gave me a bag of coffee.  good stuff.

my plans at this time are to go to the store, get a pack of hamburger, a box of turkey italian sausage, a head of cabbage and a red onion.  a bag of instant light charcoal.  i'm going to grill burgers and sausage and make smothered cabbage to go with it and the last of the potato salad.  i'm going to try to get back to working on the book of Evolon.  i have to change the message for the Z-Phone.  i have an ophthalmologist appointment tomorrow afternoon, and if my sponsor is in i'm going to go visit him afterward.  i am roasting, it is hot as the devil's piss out right now, but only the living complain about the heat.  i am grateful to be living, to be aware and capable, and i'm going to finish this day as strong as i can, by God's grace.
