Tired Thursday

It didn’t sound chilly outside on the TV Thursday morning, so I left without a coat. I took in the one loaf of zucchini bread. I cut half into slices and then cut them in half. I put the rest back in the baggie to stay moist, Everybody loved it. In fact, after a couple of hours, I had to cut up the second half.

It was a lot darker inside than most zucchini bread I’ve seen (even the ones I burnt were light on the inside. The only thing I can figure is that I did run out of regular sugar while making it and, since I didn’t want to make it taste like brown sugar, I used one cup of that “sugar in the raw” (natural cane turbinado sugar from Hawaii). I had that in the cupboard to sprinkle on top of Christmas cookies in past years.

It rained a little during the morning and when I took my obligatory walk in the parking lot, the chilly wind reminded me I should have brought my coat.

I worked through lunch, but luckily Michelle still wasn’t feeling well (although she came in) and decided she was going to order a Jimmy John’s sandwich for her lunch. So I had her order me a turkey one and a pickle.

I left at 1:34 PM for my physical therapy (PT). She asked me if I wanted to lie on heat pads or use a recumbent bike to loosen up, so I picked the bike.

Then we did just little exercises on the table (no machines), like sucking in your belly button as tight as you can, holding it for ten seconds (while continuing to breath – not your diaphragm, just your belly button) and so on. Sounds simple, right?

The last ten minutes or so, I laid on the hot pads. I fell asleep! She woke me up and told me my session was over.

I drove like a wild man back to work and finished my day. By the time I got home, my stomach muscles hurt! Simple exercises, my *ss!

I cut the remaining loaf of zucchini bread in half and took it over to the next door neighbors.

Carla called and we talked for a long time (not a “Melissa” long time, but a long time for me and Carla).

I warmed up two brats for dinner (I was going to make soup, but I was too tired). I ate those watching TV. Then I cleaned up and thought about either reading or watching TV. I decided what I really wanted to do was go to bed, so I did.
