Better Morning

I did it.

After I wrote about my plan yesterday, last night when I went to bed after 11, I wondered if I would cave in again and turn off the alarm and just roll over to go back to sleep.

I didn't.

When the alarm sounded at 7, I noticed that Gary was absent from his side of the bed.  That was strange, too, because he was absent when I fell asleep last night, and I don't remember his being there at all, but his side of the bed was full of evidence that he HAD been there at some time by the looks of the pillows, sheets, and blankets.  But I didn't turn over after I hit the button to silence the alarm.  I was out of bed.  Not bounding out of bed, but I sat there for a bit, checked my phone, then forced myself to stand up.

After my shower, I dressed for the day and dried my hair.  Yesterday my hair kinda curled around on its own and I didn't dry it at all...just added some goop to it and scruched it up some.  I can't do that very often, so I thought I should take advantage of it.  Not today though. No curliness.  No scruching.  No goop.  Just the normal blow-dry and add a dab of rough paste and go from there.  One thought about the whole hair thing was just to let it go each day and conserve my goop and rough  paste, but I need to do something each day; otherwise, the day doesn't seem normal.  And that is what I do on a normal day.  Up, shower, shampoo, fix my hair, dress, and I am ready for the day.

Next I was going to workout, but there was not a workout session with Megan this morning. In fact I couldn't get in to her session without a password which I don't have.  I sent her a text, but I haven't heard back yet, so the Saturday session probably didn't exist this week.  I may do some Walking with Leslie later on.

At Wallmans the other day there was a sale on some of the tube biscuits and rolls so we picked up some.  A throwback to days in Mt. Vernon when those were a Sunday morning treat or to the days when the girls were little.  We strayed away from those during the weight loss times because the tubes made at least 8 rolls and they would vanish which meant extra pounds added onto our bodies. But when we found the smaller tubes of just 4, we would buy those and bake them sometimes on Sunday.  Anyway cinnamon rolls are in the oven.

I have had my glass of OJ mixed with Diet Dew, a combo that no one but me likes.  It has to be Trop 50 OJ too because others just don't taste right.  Now I am sipping a cup of Lady Grey hot tea, a mixed blend from a tea shop in The Village at Galtinburg.  I am using the mug that Dennis gave me too. 

So it is a good morning.  "Love is Kind" was the title of the devotions today.  I already posted on the page for Rhonda and I already started the daily thread in the new Dotti's page that Peg created on FB. 

Today's plan?  Sewing. I want to work on Tessa's quilt and I will attempt to make a few masks for our family.  If it works well, I may do more and donate them to the hospital.

That's the plan.  And I feel better today for it.
