Another night of not sleeping very well. I am tired today and may need a nap. I have a grant writing project to work on and need to be more alert. Trying to decide if it would go easier if I took a nap first. I am using my laptop computer to type it and it isn’t going easy right now. That computer uses short cuts I don’t find helpful and I haven’t figured out how to turn them off.
Ran into Emporia this morning to return some rental equipment the Symphony had borrowed from True Value. I drove a big double cab truck. Nice to have power on the highway but it was a big difference from my little Prius. Glad I didn’t have to fill the truck up with gas and pay for that. I’ll take my $16.35 cost of gas to go 350 miles car.
I will find out at 5:00 tonight if I have to report for jury duty tomorrow. Sure hard to plan my week without knowing if I will have any free time or not.
Nice to see the sun come out today. It is still too cold for my liking but it is warming up slowly. Going to get lots warmer later this week. So far the wind isn’t blowing very hard. I got cold yesterday and haven’t warmed up yet. I kept turning my electric blanket control higher during the night and never did get too hot. Before I had my thyroid out I ran hot all the time and it is hard to get used to running cold now.
I stayed in my Bright Lines yesterday but anytime I eat out I am never sure about the portion size. I ate meat at lunch so had black beans for dinner. I wasn’t hungry last night and couldn’t eat all I was supposed to. Guess it is better to under eat than to over eat. I don’t like eating out as it is hard to know for sure I am not getting any flour or sugar in my food. It is hard to get 10 oz of veggies in a restaurant. So far I am only eating out about once a week so don’t think I am doing too much damage to my plan. Some restaurants are easier than others to find food I can eat. I lost two pounds this morning and last time I ate out I gained two so must have made better choices this time. Nine pounds gone and 32 to go!
Once I find out about jury duty I want to schedule a time to go to KC and see Nicole. She leaves again in twelve days so want to get up before her next trip.
Need to check to see if I need any groceries. If I do I will need to run into town this afternoon and get them in case I am tied up the next couple of days in court.
I can’t stop yawning so think I will go lay down for a bit. Never know if I will fall asleep or not but a rest sounds inviting to me right now,
Grateful to have a service project to work on, grateful to have been in service today by returning the equipment, and grateful I have the luxury of taking a nap if I decide to do so.
