The Beast has always been tenacious. I call it *stubborn* because it's almost as if he just will NOT accept the fact that something will not do exactly what he wants it to do. But he got his tablet to do what he wanted. He DID find he had to buy an auxillary speaker for it in order to hear it well but it's wireless (the speaker). He also found out that his church has Wi-Fi availability and it's unlimited access. He was sooooo happy about finding that out. He spent a couple hours there this morning and that is the reason he finally got his tablet doing exactly what he wanted.
I spent the day doing leg exercises, off and on. My legs tire easily and also the left leg is still swelling. My right leg gets tired mainly because I am putting more stress on it because the left leg is so weak in comparison. I noticed that in just a few weeks, I had actually worn down the right sole of my old sandals due to the same factor. I HAD been proud of the fact that I seem to wear my heels on my shoes evenly, which means I wasn't favoring one leg over another. I used to wear out the outside of my heels when I was a kid but I knew why I did that back then. After a long time, it becomes a habit. I worked hard to break that habit.
Other than that, our life pretty much was nice and peaceful and mostly inside the house. It was hot today (92 degrees F.) and no breeze to speak of. Baron lay around like a scatter rug on the wood floors (cooler than the rug areas).
I ate some grapes and strawberries along with my yogurt for my lunch and, wouldn't you know it? The Beast comes home with a Jr. Whopper for me along with some onion rings. I didn't want to hurt his feelings since he actually got something I normally like so I ate about half of it and a few of the onion rings before I buried it in my trash.
We ate spaghetti with Alfredo sauce (Newman brand). It's good but a bit on the mild side for me but adding some nice parmesan cheese made all the difference. Delish! It was too hot to put the oven on or we could have made some garlic bread to go with it, I suggested eating later tomorrow (so it will have cooled down a bit outside) and having the garlic bread, too. The Beast thought that made sense so you know what WE will be eating tomorrow.
I think I will have to make some macaroni salad with tuna for Sunday. I may have him pick up some canned shrimp and add it to the salad for a really great tasting meal. I love it with shrimp (you can even forget about the tuna as far as I am concerned) but it must have at least some peas in it and even some corn for a truly tasty treat. LOL!
My sister, Cee, and I used to make a big bowl of it together and then just share it. It was fun to chop up the onions and celery together while we waited for the macaroni to finish cooking. A lot of the time it was because Cee would catch a sale on the canned shrimp. I always had plenty of mayonnaise, celery and onion in the house and also macaroni so it worked out just fine for us. I kind of miss those days. I think it's why I enjoyed Sheepie's visit the other day because of our working together to make up something for us to share.
My sister, Cee, says she will be moving up here in about a year. She's waiting for her Medicare to kick in for her and she also has to deal with Frankenstein. From what I understand, he really should be in a nursing home due to his incontinence. It's just too much for Cee to deal with. He quit claimed half of the ownership of the condo to her years ago (as tenants in common, of course) since he had purchased it on his own but she needed to be listed as an owner in order to be on the Board of her building. Didn't take her long to find out it's not a fun job...LOL!
Well, I am tired and need to think about taking my shower and going to bed soon. Love you all and I wish you fantastic weather over the weekend. Be good. ***Hugs***
