Pajama Day

Yesterday turned out to be a pajama day all day.  We canceled all our plans because of TS Debby, so I never got dressed because I never went anywhere.  We were supposed to meet friends at the Kona Cafe in the Polynesian yesterday morning for a fantastic breakfast.  Nope, didn't go.  Then I had an appointment at our synagogue to pick up a keyboard.  Nope.  Next we planned to go see the new movie Brave.  Skipped it. Then we were going to the gym for our weights and walking on the treadmill.  Nope!  In fact, the community closed the gyms and restaurants due to weather yesterday.  And finally, we were going to go to a double header minor league game in Lakeland with our NARFE group.  That was also canceled, of course. Instead, I took a lot of naps!  It was just a slow, sluggish day.  In the evening we watched the Glenn Close movie, Albert Nobbs, which was fascinating.  It's Solivita's Thursday night movie this week, Debby permitting, but we'll be driving north for a two and a half week trip and will miss it. 

Tropical Storm Debby was supposed to go to Texas, but yesterday she turned right and is going to cross Florida. She is only moving at 3 miles an hour, so it's going to take an entire week to do it.  This means lots of rain for a week.  Not too long ago we were all worried about how low the water levels were in all the storm ponds.  Not now.  Now we are watching them rise to the edge and hoping they don't overflow too much.  Things sure do change fast in Florida.

We hid in the closet for half an hour yesterday for the first time, too.  Our weather radio went off and said a tornado was in Winter Haven, about half an hour from here, and heading to Poinciana, our town!  I put two dining room chairs in the master bedroom walk in closet, along with two bottles of water, our cell phones, our wind up radio, and our books.  We  just sat in there reading until the warning time had passed.  That was an interesting event.  We never had a tornado in our immediate area, but the weather radio was busy all day and night.

Today we HAVE to go out, no matter what.  Well, unless my cleaning lady cancels.  She is coming at 1:30, and she does not like us to be home when she works.  So we are going to try to go see Brave this afternoon at Downtown Disney.  Then we are going to have dinner at Sweet Tomatoes, right near Downtown Disney, because it's the last Tuesday of the month.  That's always the day that our synagogue gets 15% of the receipts as a donation if you show up and turn in the special voucher.  Hopefully Debby will let us do those things.

Yesterday, because of the slug-like day, there was absolutely NO exercise.  The most I did was get out of bed and walk to the kitchen.  Haha!  I ate pretty well, at least my three meals were perfect, and I only had an apple for a bedtime snack.  I ate a few extra things in the afternoon, like finishing off the box of Reuben's Honey Bunches of Oats with the rest of the milk. It was only about half a bowl, but it was SOOOO delicious!  I didn't really track my calories, but I bet they were a LOT less than any day in the past week.  LOL!  I'm down another four tenths this morning to 247.2.  I hope Sweet Tomatoes doesn't mess that up too much because I'd like to have a nice loss for this crazy week.

Stay safe and stay dry if you live in Central Florida.

Here's a few more pictures of us with Reuben on his last day, slogging through Debby's downpours.
