SherryeB's Journal, 25 Oct 23

Hubby decided to skip the Gym today. He started mowing on our property with the brush mower yesterday. It's hard work since the area he has to mow is hilly. He wanted to finish it today & said he was getting in a workout mowing. Since I had Book Club tonight & I had to prepare a dish to take, I decided to go tomorrow instead of today. I'm leaving Friday afternoon to drive down to my 2 youngest sisters with our other sister. So only 2 Gym days this week.

I'm glad I took today off, cause the potato skins I was taking for book club took a bit to prepare. Even if I had baked the potatoes last night, I would have been stressed out trying to get them done if I hadn't had plenty of time. They were a hit at Book Club 😊

The Holter Monitor was installed yesterday afternoon. Pretty straightforward....the nurse cleaned the area with a wipe, slapped it on my chest & I was good to go. Took about 5 minutes. Now I just have to push a button on it if I feel anything out of the ordinary & log what I'm doing. It's battery operated, but I don't have to do anything til I remove it in 7 days. So far nothing to report.

I've been drinking my water & plan to keep that up.

We had a good Book Club tonight. Shrimp, my Potato Skins & a Cream Cheese Dip for appetizers. Chili with all the fixins, 2 yummy salads & cornbread for the main course. No dessert tonight. I did have an Italian Ice when I got home.

Well, off to bed 🛌 📚 😴
