Today was a worship day. Both hubby and I woke up before the alarm was set to go off at 1030am. The dogs had gotten us up earlier and then we went back to sleep but then each got up around 10. I lazed around and ate breakfast before getting ready for church. Hubby was having tummy troubles but was in good enough shape to still go to church. He is out of the muscle relaxers he takes for his back so in more than normal pain. A hot shower really helped. He was a little worried about how his back was going to feel sitting on the pews at church but still wanted to go with me.
It was Palm Sunday and we celebrated that in church. Father Paul talked about what Jesus's sacrifice means to us, the ultimate in forgiveness. I am still learning more about my Catholic faith and what the bible means. Hubby knows the bible and helps me.
After services, hubby took me out to lunch to Red Robin. He had the best burger he had in years, he said. I had their french onion soup and a house salad with honey mustard dressing. Yum! We sat in the bar and talked, drank Pepsi and talked. It was nice, we hadn't had a nice talk like that in quite awhile. We talked about racial tensions and the different ways that we had been raised. How I was raised in the military and race wasn't a consideration because we were a melting pot. People were judged on their individual merits but hubby was raised first in the south, where there was segregation. I lived in Florida for awhile when I was a kid where there was racial tensions where I was going to school. I didn't understand it and couldn't participate in it. We enjoyed our discussion and talked about how I see that a lot of the racial problems we are having now may be caused.
After lunch was over, we headed over to Goodwill. I wanted to look for more broaches and see if they had any good deals that I could buy and either resell or use to barter. They had a very little amount of jewelry and no broaches, and I started looking around while hubby went to look at books. Next thing I know he has this whole stack of Janet Evanovich's series that I had started to read. I had bought mom's collection of the series last summer and they promptly disappeared into the garage and I haven't found them since. So when I bought the first one on vacation, I got interested. So while hubby was over at the record store, he saw a book that had the first three books of her Stephanie Plum series. It's pretty neat, it's about a woman in New Jersey that due to some bad circumstances, ends up being a bounty hunter, a bond enforcement agent. And the stories are about how she came to be one, how she is learning on the job and bringing in people.
Next we left and went home. We planned on eating leftovers for dinner so decided we wouldn't have a set time to eat. Just when we get hungry, we would just heat up our own food. So I didn't eat until really late, and I don't think that hubby has eaten at all.
We had plans to clean up the backyard and to water the front yard but we didn't end up doing anything after we got home. We just plain ran out of energy and motivation.
Tonight was the season finale of The Walking Dead. Wow, what a show!
