Best Day in a Very Long Time

My day started at 2:40 this morning. I had a wonderful time in the pool and fitness center, and then followed that up with time with my youngest son. I did laundry while I was there and we watched a show on Netflix called Blown Away. This afternoon it was too hot to stick around the apartment, so went on a short shopping trip to Wal-Mart. I bought a new hat and some fake roses for the vase my daughter got me for Mother's Day with a beautiful bouquet of flowers in it. It was bare and needed more flowers. I heard from all my children. A text from my daughter as soon as I got home from the Y and my oldest as soon as I got home from my youngest. That was followed by a call from my granddaughter, and later from my oldest grandson. Tonight I finished off the day with bowling. The church organized the event a month ago. Someone brought a cake for the two birthdays. Yes, I had a piece. How could I pass it up when it was partially dedicated to me? My bowling was atrocious! However, I haven't bowled since my kids were little. The best part is the other people on my team were almost as bad as me. Lots of fun! It was made extra special when someone paid for me as a treat for this awesome day. That was my super awesome day. I didn't spend much time here as like I said, it was too hot. It has cooled off to 85 as I saw on a digital readout on my way home from bowling. And before I forget, I didn't get lost getting there. I printed out the directions and thought I made a wrong turn and stopped to ask someone where The Gutter was. He pointed to it. I wasn't lost after all. I was a stone's throw from the front door. What a great way to start a new year. Things are looking up. There's hope for me yet when I don't get lost finding a place I've never been before. Okay, that was my day. How was your Friday? Thanks for reading. I think I need to get off the computer. There's a major storm about to break and they had advisories on the radio on my way home. The wind has really picked up.

@just4him I remember that I was very strict with my diet, I asked to a Dietitian and he told me that the important is to cut the excess of calories of one day on the next three days. One day does not hurt.

Thank you. And considering the heat and I didn't have but one meal all of yesterday, I don't think it hurt my numbers either.

@LadyDuck I'm sure I didn't eat many calories yesterday and with all the exercise I had yesterday, it probably negated what I ate. I still need to figure out the numbers.

@garymarsh6 Vampires, yeah, okay. I'm sure you're going to stick with that story. I'm a kitty cat. I wouldn't hurt anyone. I might bat them around a little, but nothing harmful.

I guess you could say I do get inside before the sun rises. Dawn is just happening when they open the doors for the YWCA. Thank you. It was wonderful. No, I do not need to get inside before the sun rises. You're goofy!

Friday was a wonderful day for you and the Birthday that you deserved:) My Friday was busy, but not real eventful. It did get pretty warm here during the afternoon, about 85 degrees. Jay turned the AC on last night!

I thought about turning on the A/C, but after seeing my lower than usual utility bill, I opted to keep it off. I have ceiling fans. I'm not sure what it got up to. The one time I looked it was 91 with a heat index of 103. I still need to look at the report that shows yesterday's numbers. Today will be much cooler than yesterday, though it will still be warm. Thank you. I had a wonderful birthday.

@just4him The weather man Brian said Saturday would be our hottest day yet. So far, it's cooler and more comfortable than yesterday. Our sky is cloudy, it's overcast and very comfortable outside(about 81)

Glad everything worked out so well for you and you didn't get lost, Of course you had to take a piece of cake. We had a pour down on the way to the library and sat there until the rain slowed but still got wet. I took a nap when we got home which is something I hardly ever do, and felt better for it.

I'm so happy for you that you had such a wonderful birthday-you deserve it! We had a tornado warning in our city, and a bad thunderstorm or 2 or 3 as a result.

I don't know if we had a tornado warning, but there were advisories on the radio for a bad thunderstorm heading my way. I barely got off the computer before it hit. It blanked out for a second and came right back on. I unplugged everything and went to bed. I'm glad the severe weather waiting until bedtime. I hope everyone is safe there from the storm.
