I had my usual spring visit with my family recently with all the birthday parties, softball games, dance recitals, and other assorted events. My dad is still healing from the car accident and my mom hurt her wrist again after getting dizzy spells while recovering from RSV, but everything was reasonably fine! I gently bullied them into letting me do things for them! Came back Sunday night, and then yesterday, tornado touch down! My family is fine, but there's been a ton of damage in the community.
I am le tired.
Oh, man, tornados, ugh. Glad otherwise reasonably fine!
It was a nerve-wracking few hours there! My brother's been sending a lot of pictures of the destruction.
Fiber is god.
True.
I miss the fiber-filled fruit bars at Trader Joe's. I've never found anything else that my body liked as well for adding easy to tolerate roughage.
Atropa, glad Dad let you know and my thoughts are with you both.
I eat a lot of cabbage! It lasts a long time in the fridge, you can eat it raw or braised or roasted or in soup, and it doesn't need to be washed like kale. Good stuff.
In other news, the new dog apparently spent 4 months in the shelter, and she is
extremely
anxious as a result. I cannot leave her alone for more than a few minutes or she starts wailing. This could be a problem.
My father kept passing out from blood loss and it turned out to be bleeding hemorrhoids. Relatively easily treated once he actually mentioned it to a medical provider. Rather than, ya know, just bleeding out non stop for months in stoic silence. Le sigh.
Those were so tasty!
Tasty and easy on the tummy for me.
I like cabbage but have few recipes. I did buy some thin shred for salad. As soon as I eat it and like it, I can buy a head of cabbage and shave it but the initial presentation needs to be ready to go or I end up with dead cabbage.

I am not sure I am ready for a forever dog but I am kinda ready to love another and being the stable person for a dog that needs fostering and love and stability is tempting.
Sadly, we aren't near each other. Also I know that once you commit to a pet, it's not going anywhere.
Really, I suspect I'm setting myself up to foster fail but that's a loved pet. A pet I didn't plan for has worked out in the past for me.

Foster Fail always seemed like the best way to do it. You don't presume to keep that dog, but just attend to it. But the right dog will present itself and you'll say, "Yes."
