Woke up at 5:30, and then, except for dozing off and on, couldn't get back to sleep. Hubbie finally woke up around 8 a.m., and by then I was plenty ready to get up.
After breakfast, I did stair stepping, resistance bands, and weights exercises. In the meantime, Hubbie went to the closest grocery store to get a package of cinnamon candy for making candy apple jelly. When he got back, he accompanied Mother to our house.
Once I was ready for the day, I gathered the ingredients and supplies for making the jelly. In an effort to help me, Hubbie went to the storeroom to fetch a large bag of sugar. In so doing, he knocked a quart jar of honey onto the tile floor, where it smashed, allowing the honey to ooze into a huge puddle of sticky mess. Took both of us to clean it up, and in the process, Hubbie managed to cut his finger on a piece of the glass.
By now, it lunchtime. Mother had her usual Ramen noodle soup, while Hubbie and I had PB&J sandwiches.
Afterward, Mother and I made the jelly. She likes projects like this, where she can feel useful by measuring ingredients, and pouring jelly in the jars, etc. I do whatever is necessary at the stove, since she doesn't cook anymore.
Mother went to her jigsaw puzzle after that, and Hubbie and I goofed off until time to watch our favorite college basketball team as they squeaked to a two-point win.
At halftime of the game, I paused it, so Hubbie could go to a fast food restaurant to get cups of chili, using a coupon to get a free small cup for Mother. After we'd eaten, Hubbie accompanied Mother back to her house.
After that we watched TV for the evening, including a 2009 movie called, "The Damned United." The movie is based on the true story of Brian Clough and his 44 days as manager of the reigning football (soccer) champions of Leeds United (England) in the 1970s.
We followed that with the 1999 movie "Brokedown Palace." A couple of young women who go on vacation in Thailand end up getting arrested for smuggling drugs. The movie explores the harsh Thailand legal system.
