Sleepy Head
This has been me all afternoon. I had a splendid sleep last night and woke up feeling very rested. I was able to stay up and accomplish a lot and then suddenly while folding laundry I knew it was time to lie down. So from about 2:30 or so that is mostly what I have been doing.
I went back to reading Game of Thrones but felt I could barely keep my eyes open but when I closed them allowing for sleep I did not sleep. So I just remained like my friend above - a sleepy head.
I ordered a boxed set of the first four of Martin's popular series as even though Michael had given me the first one as a Mother's Day gift I could get four books for $19.00 rather than pay $9.00 for each one individually. I am amazed at the response time Amazon is manifesting. I ordered the books yesterday and they were at my door today!
Mary called with some exciting news. I don't recall precisely the name of the organization but it is an education arm of a designers organization. She has been taken on as an approved educator and will be giving a class in creativity tomorrow night in San Jose for over 30 people. Good job Mar!!!!
Continuing to maintain my weight between 136 and 137 and I eat whatever I like within the bounds of vegan/vegetarian (only egg whites and only Parmesan cheese though).
Breakfast was oatmeal, nice and hot, with raisins and walnuts and warm soy milk plus a cup of ginger tea.
Lunch was a toasted double fiber bread sandwich with red onion, avocado, lettuce, tomatoe and Miracle Whip.
Afternoon snack of sugar free cookies and orange juice.
Will focus on protein for dinner with rice and black beans.
Amy will join Christy and I tonight for Dance which will be pleasant. I have not seen her since she returned from the beach.
Chatted briefly with Marth today. She and John are having a bite to eat and then going to see Friends with Benefits in Tempe tonight.
I have been getting some early birthday greetings on FB. Heard from a new friend Arthur Braverman ( a fellow Friend of Joko Beck) and Danny's friend Larry Mullen. Also a lovely card from Mary and Alex Keenan. I do not want a group celebration of my birthday this year. I may go to a movie on Sunday with Marth and Christy if she is not busy.
There is a good golf tournament on from Thursday through Sunday. Tiger will be back which will make it interesting and I would expect Phil to play. It is at Firestone and should draw a good bunch of players.
Dorothy is back in the country after a 6 week absence. Two weeks in NY visiting family and a month in England doing some studies. We have a tentative date for a visit on Friday which has been our usual time to get together.
Expecting Phil in the morning as well as Marth. She will finish up her four hours and take me to have a mammogram in the early afternoon.
With two and a half days of pretty normal energy I have some hope that perhaps I will be living at my usual energy level. I am being very careful about fluid intake as I have no desire to return to the hospital for the fourth time in a couple of months.
I am thinking of having Danny's friend Ralph do some work on my car while it is not being driven. I have had a new carpet for a couple of years that by accident was not installed when I had new seat covers put in. I will have Ralph do it as well as perhaps install a new glove box and some hardwear for the passenger seat visor which has come down. I have a catalogue of parts that are exclusive to the 1956 T-Bird. They are expensive but in the long run it will pay to have the car maintained as close to stock as possible. Both the Bird and I will be a couple of restored antiques!
Getting on to time to fix dinner and get ready for Amy to come and join us for Dance.
Still sleepy!!!
