Happy Long Weekend Friday!

Happy Friday, everyone! I'm so looking forward to this long weekend, with the extra day off for Presidents' Day. Yesterday was a non-stop whirlwind and I didn’t have access to my computer so I wasn’t able to blog or read blogs.

In the morning, I had several meetings at work. Then I had to drive about 30 miles for a luncheon, then back to work for a couple of hours. I had tickets to take my mom to the symphony for her Valentine’s Day gift, and since she can’t drive at night, I always pick her up and drive her whenever we go anywhere like that. That’s one hour down to her house, one hour to the symphony, and one hour back to her house. The symphony was wonderful, my mother really loved it, but it was a bit of an exhausting day. Way too much driving in snarly traffic for my taste.

I always stay overnight at her house after our outings…and last night the upstairs bedroom I slept in was so cold I could see my breath! I remember waking up once about 3 a.m. and thinking I was going to freeze to death, it was so cold. My feet felt like blocks of ice all night, and they actually still kind of hurt right now. Mom has a thing about not turning on the heat at night to save money. I kept wishing I had B with me to keep me warm, but he had stayed home with Daddy (Hubby).

The positive side is that I really did a good job eating OP in spite of it being very hectic, and going to a luncheon, etc. Unfortunately, I didn’t have time to workout at all. I don’t know if just going non-stop from 6 a.m. to 11 p.m. counts as exercise…lol.

Today, I’m SOOOO glad to be home. I got home about noon, and B & I just got back from a 45 minute walk. I’ve stayed OP so that’s good too. I feel like I want a nap now, since I slept so poorly last night.

We’re babysitting for my friend's dogs (the ones like B) for about a week while she and her family are on vacation, so we are excitedly waiting for them to show up. It should be a non-stop laugh riot around here until things settle down. It will be interesting to see how B handles sharing the bed with other dogs tonight. Even though they are his good buddies, and he stays at their house when we go on vacation, he's still a bit possessive of me and "his" bed.

Oh, one last thing…since I wasn’t home this morning, I wasn’t able to weigh in first thing this a.m. for BLBE. I promise to do it tomorrow…in fact, I’m kind of excited because I’m feeling some good changes in the way my clothes have been fitting. I really think I’ve lost weight this week, but we’ll find out for sure tomorrow.
