Rain will begin momentarily!
Wednesday:
We were up early and went directly to the gym, where the staff took special care of me, working on my legs and upper torso. They commented that I am getting better with each visit. The fact that I am 183 pounds versus 205 six weeks ago probably helps!
After the workout, we went to the Original Pancake House and split an omelet; their food is generous to say the least.
Arriving home, we decided to take down the Thanksgiving decorations from their yearly hiding place in the garage attic. I volunteered to go up the fold-down ladder, but the good doctor informed me, in NO uncertain manner, that I was NOT allowed on the ladder.
A disorganized attic. Loft, or crawl space, above the residential garage.
Mary went up and brought the boxes to the edge of the ladder. I took the dangerous spot anyway and stood underneath the opening, catching the boxes as she lowered them. Seven large plastic containers later, we were ready to roll into the family room.
The girls were coming to clean at 4:00 pm, and we had to depart for the theater at 4:30 pm, so we got ready to go. Tonight we saw “The Heartsellers”. We took Sydney and Dr. Bill with us and had dinner before the play at The Silver Trumpet.
We ate lightly to ensure we would stay awake during the performance.
The cheese and charcuterie board was perfect with one glass of wine.
The play is summarized as follows: Two immigrants, one Filipino and one Korean, meet by chance in a supermarket on Thanksgiving in 1973. Longing for connection, Luna invites Jane to her apartment. While their medical-resident husbands work through the night, the women bond over life in America, the families they left behind, and the art of cooking a frozen turkey. Set eight years after the Hart-Celler Act overhauled U.S. immigration policy, this heartwarming comedy was called “a laugh-aloud love letter to friendship” by Broadway World.
We crashed upon arriving home; it was a wonderful day.
Thursday:
Today is Girls’ Night Out, and we did not disappoint. We met up with the regulars and enjoyed an excellent meal. Due to my lack of appetite and desire to stay under 185 pounds, I enjoyed half a pizza and an Arnold Palmer drink. Mary went for the salad and some of my pizza.
After arriving home, we both took naps, and I won the contest. I slept for two glorious hours. If anything kept me awake at night, it would be worrying that there wouldn’t be enough time to have a nap the next day.
Robin came over after work and made up for the hamburger debacle she and Mary had last week. She pranced in the door carrying three hot burgers from In-N-Out, complete with two bags of perfectly cooked fries.
I thought I had died and gone to heaven!!
After dinner, we went to the TV Room and watched a Hallmark Christmas movie entitled “This Time Each Year”. Robin headed for bed around 8:30 pm, as she had to work the next day. We stayed up and watched “Back To The Future Part III.” It had been a long time since we saw part III.
It was still funny and entertaining after 34 years.
We hit the sack around 11:00 pm, and we opened the bedroom window so we could hear the rain start.
