Wednesday, May 19

Up just before 8 a.m., and did a treadmill session and resistance exercises after breakfast. After that, Mother came over and put color in my hair in anticipation of getting a haircut this afternoon.

Spent the rest of the morning on my computer. After lunch, I went to the beauty shop. There, my hairdresser, who said she hosted an election watch party at her house last night, told me who won the local contests. We went to bed before the results were in. Everyone we voted for was either elected, or will be in a runoff election in June. A couple of candidates we voted for on the state level will also be in runoff contests.

Back home, I didn't do a lot beyond a few household chores and laundry. Later, we had a supper of barbecued pork chops and brown rice. The pork chops, baked with barbecue sauce mixed with carrots, celery, and onions, is a favorite dish. The brown rice, cooked to perfection in an electric rice cooker, and topped with the veggie/barbecue sauce, was yummy.

For some reason, when we plan our menus, we tend to have similar meals all week. This week we started with barbecued pork sandwiches Sunday, and had baked potatoes topped with the leftover barbecued pork on Monday. Then today, we had pork chops topped with barbecue sauce and veggies. Next week, we'll have meatloaf, leftover meatloaf, and then spaghetti and sauce loaded with leftover meatloaf. There will also be more barbecued pork for family who visit us while we are at camp.

Mother went home after supper, and Hubbie and I watched TV, including episodes of "Lark Rise to Candleford," and "Foyle's War," from the public channel.
