Hibachi Night

 Yesterday was a much easier day- the Austin crew was a huge help. We got off about 3 hours earlier than we did other days here, and Kevin took me out for hibachi. There’s place was really nice. We need to go there every time we come here now. 

Yesterday, Kevin and I were helping each other on an aisle of baking supplies and spices. I lifted up a 25 pound bag of sugar to scan it, and I realized that I’ve lost at least that much weight since January of 2024. I’ve actually lost closer to 30 pounds. But that bag of sugar was enormous and heavy and I was like jeez-  I’ve lost at least this much, most likely more. That’s daunting. No wonder I feel better these days. 

Speaking of that, I need smaller size work pants. They aren’t just “a little” too big anymore- I’m almost in danger of mooning people. I mean not really- we wear the scanners around our waist, so I just adjust the belt on that and use it to hold my pants up. No I don’t have a belt, I don’t like them. Kevin offered to take me to Walmart here in Louisiana for new pants, but I didn’t feel like it. I still have one clean pair. So maybe tonight we can go to Walmart. 

There’s an orange cat wandering around our motel. I told Kevin, “She looks like she wants a home with two brothers.”  He isn’t convinced. I miss my old orange cat and really have been itching for another orange cat, but Kevin has been in situations before where he had too many cats. He says, “Two is a respectable number.”  

I’m only semi looking forward to going home. I mean I’m stuck here until Monday so I might as well make the best of it. I’m not sick of that store chain yet. By Monday I might be.
