Okay, so who took the last week and hid it? C’mon, fess up! There’s no use hiding because I will find you!
I am so not taking responsibility for not updating. I did post several recipes and that ought to count for something. I’m caught up with about half my email at least if I don’t count new email.
I’ve actually been doing pretty well. I am continuing to be honest with myself and if I’ve slipped up a bit the past couple days…. it has a lot to do with making one bad choice. Amazing how just one bad choice can snowball into a …. well, it wasn’t really an avalanche, it just felt that way. As I was just saying to Scott, a body in motion tends to stay in motion. I think that includes putting things in my mouth that don’t need to be there. It all started with this little package of sugar free cookies. I even bought Ziploc Snack Sized Bags with the intention of safely dividing them up and eating them in reasonable quantities. Perhaps I shouldn’t have opened them in the car on the way home?
I am punished by my sensitivity to Malitol, by the way, but we won’t get into that. I feel fresh and clean on the inside!
At any rate, I picked myself back up from that little incident but I just don’t feel like I’m as back on track as I was. One day at a time, though, and today is mostly better although I went out to dinner with dad. I still tend to feel that I should order something I never cook at home when I go out – such as Country Fried Steak – and I don’t eat out that often so I’m just not going to feel too guilty about that! The particular silly thing was that I had just weighed and had lost 2 pounds this week (that’s 139 if you’re counting) and was feeling good about that. I stuck to my list at the store – except for those stupid cookies that I was going to be so virtuous with. Oh well.
On the plus side, my cereal is now in portioned little bags which will make mornings much easier. Do you know that the main reason I drink iced coffee in the mornings is that I don’t feel human enough to actually BREW it in the morning? Measuring cereal is far too complicated if I can’t even pour hot water on coffee grounds.
Not much is going on outside of that. I continue to really, really hate Alzheimer’s but lately, it takes too much energy to rant about it. We have not-so-bad days and bad days. I just wish that Mom didn’t feel more like a client than my mother.
Good night interweb! And please, if you just return my week no questions will be asked.

I’m glad you’re back! (I’m not sure what artifical sweetener I’m sensitive to in that way, but it’s the one that hides in the hot cinnamon jelly beans purchased in bulk at Fresh Market.)
I have a bizarre sensitivity to sour balls, specifically the chewy kind. They aren’t that different from jelly beans and I don’t know what was in them 30 years ago (since I haven’t eaten any since) but they made me drunk as a skunk.
Good to see you, too, how’s life?
Yadda yadda yadda
I have lost over two weeks due to being ‘puterless. The old “we’ll have to send it in deal”. However, I had so much free time in the evenings, I did some deep cleaning and found more lost earrings, an external hard drive and 2 crochet hooks – all of which I was very pleased to get back.
And oh, that momentum thing – so powerful – if we are headed in a negative direction, who wants to put on the brakes and get a whiplash? Yet if we are going the other way, each action builds on the next and gathersw more energy to continue in that direction. Oh Z, why do you make me say things that I most need to hear myself?
Anyway, the tone of your post is good, and I’m happy to see that.
We had snow on the ground this morning The Minnesota Twins are getting clobbered by the Yankees in the playoffs. And, the last few mornings, at 6 a.m, I’ve witnessed that incredible sapphire blue that the sky has for a few days eack spring and each autumn – rapturous
MN! So glad to see you again… sorry for the puter problems. I wonder what it would take for me to find the things I’ve lost or do the chores that are on my list…. I think I’m actually reading more than on the computer most days lately. I’m pretty sure I could come up with other things to do besides clean, thought!
Feel free to come by and lecture yourself any time. I need to hear those things regularly. It is so much easier to slide down the hill than climb the other side.
Sorry about your Twins. Damn Yankees!
