I got the house cleaned, took a nap, felt a little better. My aunt called me "Problems with the airplane" I'm thinking it crashed. But literal problem with the airplane found while on ground and repaired, but it took a long while. So they were late but got here OK. My aunt and uncle picked me up, we got dinner, and sat in the cell phone lot watching planes take off and land until we got texted to come get them. We did.
They had 2 big rolling luggage things I was surprised. We went to my house and Mom met Torbie and Baby Girl, saw Biscuit who played hard to pet. She also saw Spotty but he just kind of ran by. Dad stayed outside he is not a fan of cats. But the house looked good and I had a plug in so it smelled nice too but not overpowering.
They left, I went to bed. I had worn a knee length tshirt dress in army green over a pair of camo leggings. I liked it very modest but cute. The other ladies seemed to like it too. Mom kept talking about the leggings I will have to show her them at work.
What size is she? I think a 7? My aunt is a similar size but would not wear leggings. But at $4.44 Mom can afford to get a pair if she'd like. Might be good for winter.
I will share what I find to be an embarrassing secret. Ron, when we lived in CA, used to dumpster dive in our apartment dumpster. One time he found a whole bag full of leggings. He took them home, had me wash them, and wore them as long underwear under his dress pants to work in San Francisco. He loved them.
He did not dumpster dive when we got to Texas because we have things in the dumpster. But if he had been sighted I think he might have been a hoarder. I sure cleaned a lot of crap out of his room when he died! I was glad I kept the drawer full of electronic components, adapter cords and such because I did need one to hook up speakers to my television when I set that up a few weeks ago. It was only then I discovered my TV has a DVD player in it. Shows how observant I am, and I have had the TV for years. According to my Facebook I have had this monitor for about 6 years and it is very good, OLED I am glad I got it.
So I liked having the leggings and will probably wear them again. At $4 a pair I can do that even as I lose weight, and I imagine the leggings will be good for a couple sizes down before I have to get new ones. I have decided I have enough pants for now, 2 leggings, a pair of jeggings, and 5 pair jeans. I wear my work jeans a couple days in a row if I can, so that is plenty for now. As I size down I can buy a pair each of the skinny cut and the bootcut $9 jeans, a $12 pair of jeggings, and maybe one $20 pair of Women's jeans (in whatever size). So I can afford to maintain my wardrobe as I lose weight. Helps I get it all at my discount. I can't wear leggings at work but can wear the jeggings.
Today I plan to wear the camo print (so big this year!) jeggings with a black tshirt over the top. Dad wants to see the route I take to work, we will do that. I am unclear if he wants to walk to the bus stop as he has said a few times, or will be happy riding in the car. Then follow the bus routes to work, look around, do my shop, drive home with my stuff. Then run by the taqueria and get lunch, then Foodtown and get some more fried lemon pies, which my Walmart does NOT carry any more! The fried lemon pies are a real game changer for me with the headaches. I don't pretend to understand but they are as good as an excedrin and they don't make me jumpy. I am glad I gave it a shot.
I ran out of soda yesterday so I made a protein shake with some brewed coffee. I used 2 T regular coffee and 2 T decaf, put 12 ounces of water in the coffee pot, brewed that, let it cool. Added a few ice cubes to be sure, then put 12 ounces soy milk and a scoop of hemp protein powder in the blender with a few ice cubes. Whipped it all up and had a pretty decent shake. I also put 2 sweet and low packets too. I got my protein and caffeine all at once.
I need to take my shower, it takes a while for my hair to dry. Get dressed. Then my God Time, get that done. Then I'll be ready to go.
That's it for now.

Hi I just noticed I could comment! Are you allowed to use a coupon with your discount?
So glad to see you are doing so well . It is hard to grieve and there are no rules on how long you have to do it. I find grief comes in spurts . Much love! This is my first text comment
As far as I know I can use coupons with my discount card.
I was doing OK with the grief process until I found out Ron had Alzheimer's, I feel really terrible about that. His Dad had dementia so I know it can run in families.
I felt the bullies had probably run off, so far so good, so I opened comments again.
