Saturday I spent the morning going to the 2 farmer's markets directly across town from each other. The only "farmy" stuff they had was honey and some homemade soap. I bought some rosemary mint made with honey and bees wax and grits... I like it!
Then I went to the feedstore and to a big box DIY store and bought 2 plum trees, a lemon tree, a blueberry bush and 2 muscadine vines. I also bought some started cabbage, 2 kinds of lettuce, cauliflower, broccoli and strawberries!
By the time I got home it was lunch so I ate and then went to help my dad finish up the handicap lift for my mom. I had planned to go to the Escambia Search and Rescue open house, but I was running late to go to my friend, K's house and I completely forgot to stop in. I was so frustrated! I really want to do SAR and that was a great chance to casually get info.
At K's house we played games, played with her G Dane puppy and had burgers (I had 1/2 a patty with some cheese and a little mayo / mustard, 1/2 an onion ring and later about 2 Tbs of NSA banana pudding). I was late getting home and tending to the animals so I just slept in and skipped church.
Sunday after work I went to the gym and weighed in.... back to 287!!!! I gained 5lbs!! Only I can gain 5lbs after weight loss surgery! I worked out and went home, disgusted and tired.
Monday I went in to work early so I could talk to my manager about a contest for the branch, and I stayed until 1, my regular leave time. I worked out at the gym and actually had enough energy to finish a little workout that had me sweating some. The last few weeks I wore out before I even broke a sweat. Maybe there is hope of getting my endurance and strength back. Even if I'm not losing weight *grrrr*
I also ordered my horse trailer yesterday. It is being built by a company in Crestview and he has said it will be done in time for the October trail ride.
Today I was supposed to take Rio to the vet to have his knees checked AGAIN... but I cancelled. I don't see the point in taking him, spending money on an exam and either A) them saying nothing is wrong or B) they actually find what is wrong, but I don't have the money to get it fixed.
When I was out feeding the chickens and rabbits, I sent Rio into the horsetrailer / shed to entertain himself... and he did! He found a big , fat shiny rat that had been livign happily on my spilled feed and bags of sunflower and grass seeds!! He died happy and full.
Tomorrow I am going to visit Buddy. I have no idea when he is coming home.. his 30 days are way up and I have no intention on paying more than that. Then on Friday I am taking Rio and Rags to get baths at the vet and then meeting Allison Shamrell Photography out at the bluffs for photos. I am even going to TRY to look decent myself so I can have some photos with Rio. (another frustration with not losing weight)
Next week I am going to one of J-rod's golf matches. It will be the first time I have seen him since before surgery over a month ago. :(
Also next week is follow up with the surgeon - maybe if I am still at 11-13 lbs he will help me.... or maybe it is just the way things are going to be for me. Typical.
Maybe it is just a melancholy kind of day.... today, I miss Buford and wish I could cuddle his sweet old face.
