Sunday

7:15pm

            I woke up at 2:30am this morning, strung one string of popcorn garland, drank a diet coke, and decided to go back to bed. I slept in today, until 8:30am, and Brian was already up, and had waited to make the coffee, because we only had enough left for one pot.

 

            I asked him if he had made a full pot, and he said yes, but when the coffee finished making, it was only 8 cups, and I was mad. Brian kindly volunteered not to drink but one cup, and let me have the rest. He didn’t have to do that, and I tried and tried to coerce him into drinking another cup, but he wouldn’t have it, he just wouldn’t do it.

            We sat around for a while, me stringing popcorn garland, and him watching the results of last night’s games on ESPN. Finally, at about 9:45, we decided we had better get dressed, and head on to Delta City.

            We left at about 10:30, and by the time we reached Vicksburg, we were both hungry, and not sure if anyone was cooking in Delta City. So we stopped at the Sonic, my first bite to eat all day. I had a chocolate mint shake (1160), French fries (470), cheeseburger (800), Cheesecake bites(500) coke (170) = 3100. Yeah, remind me not to eat that shake again. I should have just stopped with a cheeseburger and fries, but I didn’t, but I really didn’t think it would be this many calories.

            Honestly, lately, I haven’t been counting my calories before I eat, and it’s showing with my calories lately. I’m going to have to get back on board tomorrow, and really count before I eat, instead of just eating and then counting. This sux. I can’t believe I had another 3000 calorie day…

            We made it to Delta City around 1:30. Patsy and two of her kids, Bryce and Emma, were there. Lacy and her two girls, Maddie and Myles were also there, along with Dad and Auntie. Everyone was sitting around in the living room. We said hello and joined them for talks about baby doctors in Mississippi, and all the pregnant folks in the Sullivan family. Tammy is having her baby this week, at least by Friday, when she’s scheduled, though she may have it Wednesday when she goes in for a checkup. Brian and I would like to be there when the Jase Cole is born, although we might have to bully Mama into letting Brian off, because we’re having to take off tomorrow morning for my mental health checkup in Monroe, and a haircut that I just scheduled with my long time friend, Julia, who so kindly agreed to cut our hair tomorrow at the last minute, so we wouldn’t have to drive to Monroe two times this week.

            I’ve decided to chop my hair off to shoulder length, because it just looks healthier when it’s shorter, and I’d like less fuss, and fewer ponytails.

            Dad Sullivan seemed to be doing very well, and he had even shaved off his mustache, which is a first for me, as I’ve never seen him without it in the whole 4 years Brian and I have been together. Auntie was doing good too, although I don’t think she was feeling very good today, and that’s completely understandable, considering all she’s been through these past few months.

            Lacey took the girls to choir practice, and it wasn’t long after that Patsy and her two left as well. Dad, Auntie, Brian, and I sat around, them telling stories about when Brian and Brad were growing up, and laughing at all the things they didn’t know, and wish they still didn’t.

            It started getting dark, and Brian started yawning, so we figured we had better hit the road, but not before Auntie and Dad gave us some trash mix, a big bear hug, wished us well, and sent us on our way, us promising to send them a text or call when we made it back.

            We had a good time over there today, and I look forward to seeing them again soon. We stopped at Bumpers and I got a Diet Coke, and then we headed home. I texted Mama, to let her know we were on our way back, and to see if she had a bag of coffee we could have, so we wouldn’t have to stop at the store tonight.

            We stopped at Mama & Daddy’s on the way home, and Daddy was there, and his back was hurting him. We talked for a minute, I got the coffee, and then we had to head home, for popcorn stringing, and movies.

            We decided not to walk tonight, because it’s already so late. I’m just hoping on Tuesday when I weigh, that I won’t have gained any pounds, considering I ate 3000 calories for the past 3 days. Uncle Jay and his family are sick this weekend, so he won’t be in to work tomorrow, so I guess we’re going to leave Mama to it tomorrow morning, and she won’t be one bit happy about it, but I’m not going to that clinic by myself, I’m just not.
