this morning - it's cool enough that I definitely need my blanket over me this morning... and it's nice, but the problem is.... when I'm 'cool' or 'cold' - I want to go to sleep. This morning that is exactly what I want to do. I've read my bible, read in my devotional, prayed... and I just keep sinking deeper into the chair, wanting to go to sleep. And here it is going on 7AM and I just now turned the computer on. I didn't want to even get up out of the chair. I was so comfortable. I wanted to just drift back off to sleep - but alas, I cannot. We went to bed around 10PM and I slept sound... until 3AM. And all I've done since then is doze and I want to go back to bed and sleep!
Plus, Morgan put me through tough exercises for my legs on Monday evening - and I can barely walk this morning. The soreness has set in and I need to move so that I can go to the gym tonight and hurt some more. Although tonight is 'core' and she tells me that I have a strong core. Yeah - until she puts me through these tough exercises and before I even walk out of there I feel my 'core' being made aware of what is being done to it.
I could have just stayed in my chair and napped until 7AM, but here I am. I knew you would miss not having something entertaining to read. HAHA
My daughter and I went to Lowes last night to get flowers for our courtyard. Dang! When did something that grows from a seed and then dies at some point, get so expensive? Sounds like a child, doesn't it? Just kidding. No comparison. But yes, both are expensive. So what did I get?
I bought two rose trees to put between my rose bushes (for something different). I got a trellis and two jasmine plants that should climb up it (hopefully). I got vincas to put along side the garage of the courtyard. I got a couple bowls of petunias to set on the posts to make it look nice (I got rid of the pots, remember)? I got some vincas to put in the pot outside the gate. And a blueberry plant. Why did I get a blueberry plant? Because there was one left. Something different. Thought it would be 'fun' to have a blueberry plant amongst all the flowers.
The aloe vera is going to be removed (it has overgrown the pot and is out of control), the lemon tree will stay. Not sure about this rose bush against the brick between our neighbors and us. I don't like it and wanted to remove it cause it is just 'there' and doesn't bloom much, but my SIL says if I will add plant food and nourish it, it will again start growing and produce gorgeous flowers. Since he used to be a landscaper I trust his judgement. Oh, we had to call him last night to help us - couldn't get all the plants into my car! I thought I did pretty good cost wise. Then my daughter asked me how much I spent. Then she asked if I used the gift card they had given me for Mother's day. OOOPS. I used the military discount, and my reward dollars - but totally forgot about the gift card! I told her that was ok - I still need to get some plants for the back 'patio'. No worries, I'll still spend it!
Hubby said he did enjoy the bible study he went to last night at the church. It is for five weeks. But he got a surprise when he went out to his car. His battery was totally dead. One of the men at the church had jumper cables and got the car running so that he got home safely. First thing on the agenda this morning is taking the car down to AAA Repair or Big O and getting a new battery put in. They both open at 7:30AM and I think it would be best to call to see if they can get him in right away. He has an eye doctor appointment downtown this morning and if he has to leave it and wait, not knowing when he will get it back, he will need to move the appointment. No, he does not drive my car. And I do not drive his. Mutual agreement, pretty much. The reason he doesn't drive my car? In the past when I have 'allowed' him to drive my car - all of a sudden it becomes 'our' car and because he always likes my choices better, he will drive mine when he wants to go somewhere. Or instead of letting me drive (which I prefer), he will drive my car and won't let me drive. No, I'm not being selfish. I'm protecting my investment.
Maybe I should have gotten up out of my chair earlier; I'm starting to wake up a bit. I need another cup (or two) of coffee this morning. Maybe I just need to move more.
But, because I tried to fall back to sleep, I have lost my extra time I use to write in here. Lucky you. But, I have given you ramblings to read along with your coffee this morning. And I do need to get off here and get moving and turn on the work computer. Got several meetings to schedule since I did not really work yesterday as I had to sit through three town halls in case the assistant running the slides had problems and I needed to switch to my computer. I did have to do it a couple sessions last year and she was glad I was online. But I have to follow along and not be distracted so that I can immediately get the powerpoint up. But that's over now until August. I think I will be gone for the next one.
And - I got to get off here. 4 minutes to 7AM! Yipes! Hope you have an amazing day. (Don't you wish I'd get my act together?)
Blessings!
