Morning entry....

Good-late morning,
I hope you all are having good days and that you all had good Monday's.
It is gloomy here in KC as it was yesterday and only 45 degrees.
Yesterday I really had a problem with getting my day started.
Every time i would get up to get ready for the day, I would just feel like laying back down.
Like I was sick or something.
i eventually got up and ready and picked up Alli at 2pm and we went to do a little shopping.
We were out to find a pair of jeans long enough for her to wear heels with.
She is tall 5'8" so not that tall but she is ALL legs! And likes her jeans long to go over her shoes.
We ended up at a store at the mall (The Buckle) that really specializes in fitting people w/the right jeans.
The have extra longs which is what is about a 35-36 in seam. But are very pricey 80-190.00 a pair.
We ended up finding a pair that fit her just right for $108. An extemely insane amount for a pair of jeans.
But she will wear the hell out of them. They charge so much for their jeans because not only will
they have them altered to fit you but if you lose or gain weight at any time that you own the jeans
they will alter them to fit also.
We had a great time together yesterday although I did not feel all that great all day.
It was nice to spend the day with just me and her, usually she has at least one of her friends tagging along.

Today I am going to go over to my mothers and we are supposed to go to Walmart.
She can go by herself but doesn't get around all that well so would rather me go along.
There is nothing really "wrong" with my mother that makes it so hard to get around, she has just
been literally so depressed for years that she does not do anything, she gets no exercise and just
sits in her chair all day and her muscles don't work like they should now.
She is on an antidepressant but it is clearly not working.
She also has COPD and still continues to smoke, so coughs all the time!
I really wish she would take better care of herself but there is only so much I can do.
So hopefully I  can get her out of the house today.

Ed wise I am back down 2 lbs as my period is over and the bloating has gone down.
Which makes me feel better. I will probably take my mother out to eat so I will have to eat
something while I'm with her but I'm not stressing about it.

Well that is about all I have for today to bore you with.
XOXO
