it is a slow starting day. i expected it would be. i am starting this early because i don't want to overlook anything today.
i got up well. ahead of the alarm, i shut it off and said my prayer. i did my stretches as i read my meditation and scripture. i got dressed and went to the gym. i did my treadmill time, talked to Rose on the front desk who was drawing and happy to be doing so, and i came home.
i'd had some decisions to make and i had pondered them to an extent, but i wanted to make sure i was moving in the direction i wanted to go in. my sugar was 130, i had an omelet for breakfast, i read 2 Peter so i could start getting my mind around my brother's art book. i then said my text good mornings and sent Syd a text telling her she needed to come home and get her room right or she'd be in her room working on it til the end of her christmas vacation. i talked to Lonnie who was very out of sorts and we confirmed that he was going to his doctor and i was taking him and that he wanted to go to lunch but he didn't set an actual time, as his mind wasn't holding on to that so well. i ate some soup, talked to my mom, and am currently waiting for Lonnie to call. i am hoping Comfort Keepers shows like they're supposed to and takes care of his dad. i'm hoping his neice shows as she's supposed to and gets his dad to his appointment.
i talked to Rachel yesterday. though i felt a lot of it was just detail conversation, i told her that i was going to just be patient, that i understood her concerns which i couldn't share because though we're both diabetic i am not affected by her sugar levels. i don't know for certain that she is affected by my diabetes, but i do know that she is extremely apprehensive about germs and i am extremely NOT. i just don't want her to have to do what i am not willing to do, namely walk on eggshells to deal with me. no one should have to live that way, in my opinion.
so, i'll catch up on this when i get home later. got meatballs to make and put in sauce, got turkey cutlets to work on and work out (cold and grilling ain't as thrilling a notion as in my young days, so i am pondering and slightly wondering on cooking them in different ways) and i have to get something for dinner for tonight. but more on that when i wrap this up. it's 1:15pm.
it's 5:50 now. i'm back home, have been for a few. i went to lunch with Lonnie, he called about 130. he talked about things with his dad, and it is as stressful as i knew. it's the exhaustion that concerns me. Lonnie is not one to whom it would occur to abandon his post, but he is human and has limitations. after lunch, i took him to his appointment, following up for his cancer care. his wife was coming to pick him up, so i hung out with him for awhile, until they called him back. i left, as she was en route.
currently i'm making my meatballs for the vegathon. funny, to call it a veg-a-thon when there will be a decided lack of veggies, but that's the deal. my soup is wonderful, i'm going to start my crack chicken (very poor name for a delicious chicken recipe) in the morning, i'm going to likely try to pan-fry one of my turkey cutlets, see how it turns out that way, perhaps a panko dredge. its going to be a relaxing weekend. Rachel's having dinner with her family, doing a gift exchange, and perhaps i'll get to see her over the weekend. but i appreciate whatever i am given, and thank Jehovah for the blessing of life, let alone all the enjoyable things that i experience in the course of a day. i'm done.
