Sorry I have not written in a while. I have been drawing a total blank on what to write about.
I had a great 4th of July weekend. It started with a half day of work on Friday. Cornell has decided to give the employees half day Fridays through July in appreciation of our hard work. I grabbed my sister-in-law, and we went to Elmira for some shopping. Then on to Dad’s for dinner.
Saturday, I worked the morning/afternoon shift at Kohl’s. Though I was on inventory prep, which is quite boring, the day flew.
Sunday I was a good girl and decided to rearrange my living room furniture. I vacuumed under everything, dusted, swept. All the things you are supposed to do on the weekend. Of course, I was pushed by my best friend, Marrell, to get something accomplished. She told me I was not allowed to sit in my chair surfing social media. Of course, I am back on the dating scene, so I am spending countless hours on Plenty of Fish and Match.com. Which is a subject for another time. But I am spending too much time on my phone. So, I watered my plants, which had been about a month overdue, made iced tea and did laundry. I went to get groceries. Altogether it was a productive day.
Monday morning, I went to Marrell’s to see her new baby calf. A little girl they are calling Clover. Love seeing babies less than a day old. She is adorable. Went home and spent some time surfing on my phone (of course, I got a good hit on Plenty of Fish 😊) then went and picked up my dad. We went to my brother’s house for a 4th of July meal. He had brisket that melted in your mouth. Chicken, pork chops, salads, and zucchini. It was fantastic. Family time is always great. I did not dip in the pool or hot tub. I was too full from eating. The night ended with a terrified St. Bernard due to the fireworks. A lot of slobber and pacing we made it through. The neighbors were kind enough to stop at 9:30pm so I could get some sleep
My weekend continued into Tuesday. I had my first visit to the Weight Loss Center. I am going to starve to death. They gave me an 8-inch round plate split into three sections and said you can fill this plate three times a day. And, have two snacks. I am only allowed 4oz of meat in a sitting! This is going to be tough! But they were happy with the goal I have set and seemed incredibly positive. What is going to be harder is that I am going on vacation next week. I am going to have to be careful. I am splitting a piece of cheesecake with my bestie, Crystal. I found out that one of my niece’s friends is flying on the same plane I am to and from Florida. What a coincidence. It is going to be a blast.
So, I am having a two-and-a-half-day week this week. Then prep for vacation. As I said in my last blog, July is jumping. It is going to go by so fast I am afraid. Until next week, live life to the fullest. Smile.
