Are There Any Mondays That Aren't Manic?

11:54

It's a simply splendid day today! Beautiful outside and I'm all relaxed. I'm also an hour ahead of myself - LOL! I called Jade at what I thought was the end of his lunch, 12:30, but it turns out it was only 11:30. Don't know where I was.

Woke up this morning, made his lunch, took the clean dishes out of the dishwasher and put them away and folded the laundry. The house was very quiet. I liked it. So I got dressed and went to work out by myself. Dona didn't wake up to go and I wasn't going to wait. I had a splendid time. It was almost busy when I got there and pretty quiet when I left. Just me and four seniors by 07:00. I've figured out my workout plan too. I go up to the gym and do a cardio program on the treadmill, then slip down to the pool for lane swimming. I not only did twice as many lengths, I also tread water to work on my arm for a bit. It was great! I didn't get tired at all. I'm gonna do the same on Wednesday.

Finally got my scale over here and I weighed myself yesterday. Big mistake. I consoled myself that I had just eaten a big meal and I'm retaining a lot of water for Jill's visit. After Jade left this morning, I weighted myself again ... lost two pounds over night. Not bad. Maybe some exercises are better than others after all. But here's what threw me. Right now, I weigh the same at a size 10, as I did when I wore a 14/16. Explain that to me, somebody. Do I really have that much muscle? I don't LOOK like a body builder. My biceps are a bit bigger, maybe. Doesn't explain the weight though. I'm confused.

Extra Bubblemint gum tastes good ... for about three minutes. ;) But it doesn't mix very well with Barq's. Maye I should start drinking the Coke?

Nah.

I'm thinking of doing some baking. 1) To cheer Jade up, and 2) just to hear Dona ask me if I'm baking. That woman constantly asks the obvious. It's gonna confuse her when I say 'no'.

I'm evil.

This morning she asked me if I went swimming without her. Did she not hear me come back in the house? Is my hair not sparkly clean? She was in the fridge today about three times. she put some dirty dishes in the dishwasher around my dirty breakfast dishes. Before she left to go shopping, she asked if brought milk home with me. No, I ate my cereal dry. Does this woman not have any observational skills? Is she trying o drive me insane?

Ah, well, if it wasn't for her, I wouldn't have as much to write about. How the heck did Jade survive to become the wonderful person that he is today? Unbelieveable.

Okay, enough about her. More about me. I'm thinking that I should get into the habit of buying lotto tickets. I just can't get over the feeling that I'm seriously wasting my money. Then again, it's better than buying Alpha Flight. I'll just keep it within a certain limit, I guess.

Just moved a swiffer over my floors. Barely any cat hair. Suspicious. I get over ot where the cat dishes are. the mat is clean and there are no crumbs between the mat and the wall. Dona's been cleaning my house behind my back. Bitch. I've asked her not to do that. If she won't stop then she can continue to clean the entire house ... after I move out. And I will. I'm reaching my limit. And "we're family" is not what I want to hear as an excuse. I find it invasive, insulting and I've asked her not to do it. I won't ask a third time. I'll just start collecting boxes.

I guess that means that you'll be the first to know, eh, Shepherd?

I don't feel like typing anymore.

Sweet Dreams!
