Tuesday, August 16

Up around 7:30 on this perfect-weather day, and did a treadmill session and resistance exercises after breakfast. Once I was ready for the day, Mother came over, and the three of us prepared peaches and tomatoes for the freezer. After that, Mother chopped veggies and I added them, along with a chopped boiled egg, spices, mustard, and salad dressing to leftover mashed potatoes from last nignt's supper for a potato salad for tonight's supper.

After lunch, Hubbie and I ran errands...to the art gallery to drop off the Shakespeare workshop CD of snapshots; to the newspaper office to leave the word search puzzle contest; to the pharmacy to pick up a prescription, which we learned had somehow never been called in to them from the automated phone service; to the WDCS for groceries; and to the gas station.

Then, since the WDCS didn't have sugar free instant chocolate pudding, we swung back by a grocery store that did have it. After that, we came back home.

At the WDCS, I saw a rack of women's long-sleeve white shirts for $4 each, so I picked one up. At home, Mother tried it on and decided she liked it, so I gave it to her.

I spent the rest of the afternoon washing a couple of loads of laundry, and e-mailing low-fat recipes to Granddaughter, who is on a program of exercise and diet.

For supper, we had the potato salad, with cold meatloaf sandwiches. Mother went home afterward, and Hubbie and I lazed in front of TV. Tonight, we watched the movie, "Inhale." A couple's daughter needs a lung transplant immediately. She is not at the top of the donor list. So the wealthy father sets out to find a match in Juarez, Mexico, where things go from bad to worse.
