Day Ten - Saturday Cereal
There were some definite positive parts to my day that I want to share with you. I was able to get up and enjoy "Saturday Cereal" with E this morning. She loves that I am home on Saturdays and Sundays and that we can have breakfast together. While I could probably benefit from a few hours in the office, I realized that if I am going to protect her and guide her in the future, then I have to develop a positive Father image with her now. So, while I know she loves having Fruity Pebbles, Captain Crunch, or Cinnamon Toast Crunch with me, it really is a blessing to me to be able to spend the time with her. Also, she is one of the cutest and funniest little kids I've met so it's always a blast to do things with her.
The second blessing I received today was when I went to get some new keyless entry remotes I had ordered off Amazon programed for our Saturn. Apparently the older model Saturn Vues are one of three GM vehicles that you cannot program your own remotes to. So I called a nearby Chevrolet lot, and they said it would be $130 to get these two remotes programmed. Now these are to a twelve year old vehicle with no computer chip in the key or anything, so needless to say, I was shocked! I called a couple more lots, and was happy to find a Chevrolet dealership in Little Rock (Bale Chevrolet) who would do it for free! Carl at the lot said if it would work with a certain computer (I think he said a Tech 2) it would only take a moment and it would be free. So if you live in Little Rock and need your Chevrolet serviced, please contact Carl. He really seems like a stand-up guy. One top of that, the remotes came with two blank keys which Home Depot cut for me at no cost. So it was a double blessing this afternoon!
Finally, I thought I would share that I have been able to relax this evening and watch some Razorback football. Even this Kentucky boy can get excited about a double OT win over a Top 25 opponent. Oh, and college football and homemade cookies'n cream ice cream go great together! E and Bekah made some delicious ice cream (recipe here). Thankfully, I can still eat it (in moderation). So a little more than a half cup, and I'm good!
I am very pleased with my calorie intake today. I also was able to continue my exercise streak on the recumbent. It feels good to be exercising again, even if it is only a little each day. I know it will increase as I progress.
