Oh, also, the customer support people at GreenLite are great -- if there's an issue with the food (when I was getting the meals, they were in the middle of an expansion, and sometimes they didn't plan everything well enough and ended up sending me five of the exact same meal or something), just email them, and they'll email back pretty quickly and usually offer a free week of food.
Good to know. I think I'll email them today about the onion issue, since they have not started shipping. If it is a problem, maybe we can head it off at the pass.
The portion size is a bit of the point for me. I've been waaay out of control stress eating, so I'm looking forward to setting my locus of control in my freezer for those 3 weeks in hope of resetting my crave-o-meter.
I sort of anticipated the need for added spice part.
I'm committed to drinking only water and tea during those days as well.
It should be interesting!
Did they prepare a lot of eggplant? That's another thing my body just says NOPE to.
I don't recall any eggplant in the meals that I got.
I don't want to get into specifics here because I'm paranoid, but. I just have to say grr wrt in-laws or I might explode.
Ugh, Amazon, I'm a city girl, okay?
Every skirt with a notebook does not need "Pilgrim at(Fucking) Tinker Creek".(Fyi, tried twice, hated it muchly)
erika, you know she lived in a suburb, apparently?
juliana, many many woo hoos and congrats! That is so exciting.
Nora, I am glad you are there and I am sending all the ~ma I can muster.
I have stress/comfort eaten ALL THE MASHED POTATOES.
My dad is still in ICU, because he needs constant monitoring, but he will be OK. It'll just take some time. He'll be glad to be done with the tube down his throat, I'm sure. Hopefully that will be tomorrow.
Ratcheting up the stress levels (of course it's not about me though) was the fact that someone in the room next door was going to be taken off on life support that evening. It was totally unexpected (I heard the close relatives tell the story to other relatives and friends) and the whole family was devastated. My heart broke for them all. I was so sad for them, but so grateful that my dad was in a different situation. Oh, man.
I've got to stop even browsing the self-help books, smonster. It makes them confuse me with women who use "journal" as a verb. Also, most of them aren't worth it.
ALL THE MASHED POTATOES
Oh that sounds good.
I'm sorry you find yourself in an ICU. They're not happy places.
I'm glad your dad will be ok, Nora.
All the mashed potatoes sounds good indeed, as does the better news for your dad. Continuing to send love and ~ma your way, Nora.
{{sj}}, exploding lets the enemy win. No exploding! ~calm~ma.
