Thanks, WS. The more I thought about going, the worse I felt, so I bowed out, gracefully I hope.
Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Hi Laura. I have a low carb "desert for the main dish" I use for lunch a lot. Peanut butter pudding. 6 oz plain non-fat greek yogurt. 2 Tablespoons of peanut butter. splenda equal to six teaspoons of sugar (three packets). Mix well. That is it. The sour of yogurt, and the tangy and mild sweetness of the peanut butter and the sweetness of the sweetner make for good flavor. (Yes, because of how sour the yogurt is, you need that much sweetness.) The peanut butter mixed in with the yogurt gives something close to that classic pudding texture. I use only peanut butter that has peanuts and salt as the only ingredients. Nothing with added oils or sweetners. Or as I call it "real peanut butter" .
Depending on the brand of yogurt and (to a much lesser extent) brand of peanut butter) total carbs will be between 10 and 15 carbs. I usually have a small pear or small apple on the side which turns it into a moderate carb meal. But you can use berries or a salad if that is not low carb enough for you. (I'm concentrating on blood sugar control, and avoiding extreme lows as well as extreme highs, so I try to keep glycemic impact between a minimum and a maximum, rather than just as low as possible.)

Apparently TCG's job has new mental health coverage, and they only answer questions during business hours Mon-Fri. Our old coverage used to answer the phone 24 hours/ 7 days. I was trying to find out if the therapist that our fertility clinic recommended is covered.
We've got a lot of the cooking for tomorrow done already, but I'm just so angry and frustrated. I keep dropping things and then crying. Father's day has always been a hard day for me because my father died when I was so young, and I'm just so angry that I'm not able to get TCG a big gift of books about becoming a dad and hand out ultrasound pictures tomorrow. Sorry. t /rant

Our wings are not tired.
Oh sweety, no need to apologize. It is hard. I'm sorry this is such a miserable time for you. I wish you what ever ~ma you need to pass through tomorrow and out the other side.
That sounds yummy, TB! Marked....

Because books.
I'm so sorry, sj. I can't imagine how hard it must be right now, and especially this weekend.
WRT Rosemary's Baby, the movie is almost perfect adaptation of the book (and a great movie, as long as you don't mind the Polanski) but the book is fantastic. It's a novel I would teach, if I were ever to teach writing. After you read it, you can take it apart like a clockworks and it's just beautiful to see all the things he did. / gushing done now
Bev, I have really strong associations like that with some books, too.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Be gentle with yourself, sj.
I have never read Rosemary's Baby. Clearly I need to rectify that.

My brother either needs to a. wash his dog. 2. change his socks more frequently. There is a Smell where they are not.(Seems like this is my week to bitch about odors, huh?)

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
sj, the whole thing sucks for you and TCG. The timing IS hard. It really sucks that you can't get the ball rolling with this counselor right away.

I'm so sorry sj I hope you can and TCS take care of each other today.
