Today was a home day. I woke up at 930, let the dogs out and went back to bed until 1145am. I had a strange dream about going out into the forest and laying down. Tiny people set up camps around me and built cabins and roads and communities. I never got up again. The trees around me were small and proportional to the tiny people. It was very odd. Sleeping that late tends to make me tired all day but I didn't take a nap.
From mass on Sunday, we know that Ash Wednesday is on the 18th, I just verified on my calendar. For Lent, I am going to give up watching Ellen and Dr Phil, two shows that I watch every day. Maybe I will just give up Dr Phil as Ellen makes me smile and sometimes laugh. Like the time Ellen auctioned off a coffee cup with scotch in it. The woman who bought it agreed to pay $1800 for the coffee cup with Ellen's autograph and the scotch. The woman behind her got a coffee cup for $1700. I forget what charity she was raising money for, may have been for ALS. Anyway, I get mixed feelings watching Dr Phil and giving him up will be a sacrifice. During that hour I will turn off the telly and spend the time reading the bible or reading literature in relation to it or the Catholic Church. Father Paul gave me a book about getting back to the Catholic Church. I started it this afternoon and it was easy reading so far.
When I got up, I got dressed in some leggings and my cat housecoat. I moved downstairs with my computer. I have been leaving my phone plugged in downstairs and I have been sleeping sounder. I feel funny about not being able to get an emergency call from Cassie or my parents but feel like I need to have it out of the bedroom for the time being. I didn't think about my parents might needing to get ahold of me so I will start bringing up with me at night. I would hate the thought that something will happen to my mom or dad and the other one trying to call and having to leave a message.
I spent the day downstairs, reading and on the computer. I did the budget and figured out bills. Verified with my friend, Holly, that she is doing the one day cooking class on February 15 at 2pm. I am hoping it will be done before I have the Forgiveness seminar at Holy Apostles. It is being held Sunday, Monday and Tuesday evenings from 7 to 9pm. I am not sure how we are going to cook for each of us 10 meals and each meal feeds a family of 6. So I figure that will equal to 20 meals for hubby and me. Holly is supposed to be meeting with the Pampered Chef person who does these cook-offs and getting the menu. I know when I looked at it before there was a couple of things that I won't eat, like chicken chili with ground chicken. No. No ground anything.
I made an agreement with hubby that I would cook on the weekdays and he would cook on the weekends and I intend to do that except for today. We have been trying to cook chicken spaghetti since Thursday and I don't know how to make spaghetti sauce like him. So he made the chicken spaghetti tonight. We had gotten some baguettes to go with it. It turned out very good and we have leftovers for another night. Tomorrow I am going to roast another chicken. We will have a salad and some starch.
Cassie called me when she was done with her coaching job at the gymnastics place. She had to go work there part-time at night a couple of nights a week as she is not making enough money at the distillery. They are taking advantage of her by having her service existing customers and only paying her if they order more product. They aren't paying her mileage either. I hope she is keeping good records so she can write it off on her taxes.
Hubby and I came upstairs about 930 and started watching Apprentice UK Series 4. We both have our computers and are watching the telly. It's going to be an early night.
