I said it on FB, but it's worth saying here, too: Happy Birthday, Scola!!!
Consuela, I hope your dad starts eating.
We went out for brunch at a place that makes a lot of their dishes gluten free by using GF bread. So I ordered the French toast, and they brought out 2 plates of it. I said no one else at the table ordered French toast, but they said because the GF bread slices were so small (and they're a good 25%-30% smaller than regular bread), they made 2 plates of it for me.
However, I did not eat all the French toast. That's a bit much even for me. Though I did eat all the fruit that came on top of it.
So now I'm home and cleaning stuff. Sheets are in the washing machine and I just did the dishes and cleaned the stovetop. Next up is cleaning the bathroom. Later: steam-mopping the kitchen and bathroom floors. Woo.
It's sunny and supposed to hit 60, so I plan to take a walk later (though I have to wonder when we're going to hit 60, since it's 3:00 and we're only at 49.)
I have managed to write out a shopping list and meal plan for the next 6 days (3 meals a day even). DH and I are still doing low carb and getting bored so a more varied menu has to happen. This took about 3 hours to work out with the considerations of what he eats and what I eat and all that. I used the Atkins meal planner thing, but I didn't find the recipes all that inspiring so next week I will have to branch out. Now off to Costco.
Happy Tom day!!
Suzi, that does sound super rough. :(
Ugh Suzi, sounds like something has to give, and it keeps on being you 'cause you're mom, but that can't keep happening. Other details, but I've been there so I get it. CJ needs to step up, but you may need to get tough with him before he'll do it.
Happy birthday, Tom!
That sounds rough, Suzi.
And healing thoughts to your dad, Suela.
Happy birthday (again), Tom!
Suzi, it sucks being stuck without a car and having to be the one making sacrifices.
Consuela, ~ma for your dad.
I had to put on outside clothes and leave my apartment to get a haircut. I'm tempted to stay inside and watch hockey, but the sun is out and I feel like I should take advantage of it while it lasts.
