Today was an unexpected day. I expected to get up, watch Quincy, go to Walmart, do a couple of loads of laundry, make applesauce and cinnamon ornaments and be on the computer while the rattie boys ran around, But that's not what happened.
I got up with hubby when he got up for work. I watched Quincy and then kissed hubby goodbye. I was watching The Rockford Files when Lois called me and asked me if I was ready for her to pick me up for Bingo. I panicked and said give me 10 minutes to get dressed, I had forgotten. But then we talked for a few minutes and realized that Bingo was on the 16th, which was next week. She was all ready and had cooked her potluck dish! I was glad I hadn't forgotten and we both got a good laugh. I went back to watching Rockford File when Janice called. She wanted me to come over and help her decorate the bushes in her front yard. I said sure and got up and dressed. Then I went over.
I helped her hang bulbs on one and a half bushes then told her I had to go to the store and get started with my day. I offered to pick her up lunch since she was waiting for a call from a loan officer about their request for a loan to build a house in Florida.
I called hubby. It was 1pm and he had gotten into work at 1130am, so I didn't think he wanted to take lunch this early but I wanted to ask him. And offer to bring him food for later if he wanted. I got him at a good time, he was just getting ready to leave to take a work check to the post office down on Fountain and agreed to meet me at Schlotsky's for food. Couldn't stay long but said it would be nice to see me and eat for 15 minutes.
I got there just before hubby did, he walked in as I was ordering. We got lunch to go, as he had the great idea that I would get in the Saturn and ride with him to Fountain. I said sure and we got in the car. We got to talk about a new business we are considering for making more money to pay off bills faster and soon we were at the post office. He went in and did his thing, I read my book and then he was done. We had each eaten half of our sandwiches on the way down. So when he dropped me back off at the restaurant for me to pick up the bug, Kiggy, he started not feeling well. So he told me he was going to stop back by the house to use the bathroom before going back to work. I kissed him goodbye and headed off to Walmart.
At Walmart, I got the stuff for my secret santa gift for Bingo. I got a snowflake patterned fleece throw $5, a Balsam Berry scented jar candle $3, a snowflaked plastic reusable seal-able container $3, and a bog of Indulgent Mix to go in it $5. It has three types of chocolate chips, two types of raisins and dried cranberries. It adds up to $16, $1 over budget but that's ok. I don't know the person and there wasn't any suggestions on things they would like, so I'm giving them a cozy night in.
I also picked up 4 bags of Salted Caramel cookie mix, a gift pack of hot sauces as a gift for Frank, the roommate, and some milk. Then I picked out a new beta fish for the tank and named him Fred. I put it all in the trunk and started to drive home.
On the way, I stopped at Wendy's and picked up a burger for Janice but since I was so late, I put her money back in the bag. Just before I got home, hubby called and said he was still at home and throwing up. He had called him, given instructions to shut down the bookstore at 6pm, and he was staying home. Lunch had not settled well. I told him I would be home in a few minutes.
I took Janice her burger. Took her a few minutes to get to the door as she was on the phone trying to work out a computer problem with her husband and a friend. Then I took everything inside and told hubby I was home. He was still throwing up, so I got him something to drink, remade the bed with clean bedding and settled him in when he was ready. I put stuff away and sat with him for a little while. I watched Dr Phil before I remembered I had to call and cancel my doctor's appointment for the next day. I did that then fed the beasties. I got everybody taken care of and hubby had woken up, hungry, so I made Cheesburger Hamburger Helper. I was going to have salads with it but all my bags of lettuce went bad so... I tried to eat some of it and could only eat a little. It was the hamburger and cheese combination, so I drank a glass of milk. I think when I go upstairs I will cut up some roma tomatoes and put some Italian dressing on them and eat that.
I bagged up the dirty bedding and took that downstairs. I wrote to my cousin on Facebook, she can't write back as her computer is in the shop for repairs but she can read it as she bought a new tablet. She has sent me a brief, badly written message this and said she expects it to be out in a week or two, she will write then. So I just send her messages.
The rattie boys got to come out and have some fabulous dinner, some of the Hamburger Helper, romaine lettuce and fresh tomatoes. They ran around for a couple of hours and now they are back in. I'm getting ready to head up to sit with hubby and watch The Apprentice UK, Project Runway Junior with Kelly Osborne and Big Bang Therory. If we are still up for it, then Elementary. Hubby says there is a New Zealand series on Netflix I should watch, about this family of brother that on their 21st birthdays, they get hit by lightening, find out they are actually these Norse Gods, with powers, and how they live. It's a comedy and when I can remember what the name of it is, I'll tell you.
Tomorrow, I plan to do all the things I had planned for today.
