There's a big honking rain storm heading our way, so yes, I'm staying in today. Yikes, it's getting really dark. And here comes the storm. Mimi doesn't like the thunder.

Forgot to mention that the rosemary is very happy that it's outside now and is putting out shoots like crazy.

Had a nice long nap. Hmm. Now it's saying no more rain until 10 PM, so maybe I could go to the storage place. Oh hell, I need to do laundry first. I still could make it.

My back hurts. Maybe from standing at the party? And I have stomach cramps. Now I'm thinking that I'll go get the bicycle before I go to Springfield tomorrow.

Zara seems to have bounced back from Mimi beating up on her and is eating again. Good.

I ordered a book called The Art of Happy Moving from the library. I stumbled upon it in an article.

I was reading about plasma donation, and they recommend drinking protein shakes (and also eating spinach), so I'll get some at Walmart tomorrow. So I won't go donate tomorrow. I found a recipe for Spinach Apple Salad, so I'll eat that for lunch.

Talked to Mom. She didn't realize that it was Saturday and wasn't answering her phone, but when I kept calling, she was concerned that someone was really trying to get in touch with her and checked the number. I was starting to panic, but all's well that ends well. She saw her cardiologist, who told her that she was accumulating fluid in her legs because she isn't eating enough protein. Her primary care physician wants her to see a pulmonologist for her cough, but she complained that she would be seeing a doctor every day of the week. Oh, and they also want to give her another blood transfusion because her hemoglobin is low. Getting older can be the pits :(

I'm feeling kind of tired, so I think that I'll go to bed early and get up early.
