Today started as most of my days do - woke, read a bit, got up, played Happy Homemaker, then pute. Whee-hoo, I live an exciting life! Which is okay with me, cause I can do without any excitement, anyway! I got a lot of excitement/exercise yesterday, so I was taking a break from it all today. Ha!
Tomorrow is my sister's big surgery, and it will be very stressful mentally until she is awake again.
I fit my lunch in there - today I had my chicken salad and walnuts - but I didn't eat lunch until close to 3. I wonder sometimes what I can do to make myself be hungry earlier, and then I wonder why do I want to be hungry earlier? But eating later makes me not be hungry at suppertime, so it's all kinda weird.
Ron didn't get home until 6:35, and we had to be up at church at 7, so he had to jump directly in the shower, change his clothes, and we had to skedaddle! We ended up a couple of minutes late, but the opening hymn was just ending as we walked in so we didn't really miss anything. I'm glad, because the Penance Service only happens a couple of times a year, and missing it - any of it - isn't really very good for our souls. As part of the Penance Service, they read Gospel readings and then asked some comtemplative questions, and I was really struck by some of those questions this year. I brought home the pamphlet, so that I can reflect on the questions, and my answers to those questions much, much more. I really need to pray over those answers, I'm thinking - I need some help in some areas! I could see that in the few minutes they gave us to think about it....
We got back home, and made our suppers. He made one of his frozen Chinese things, and I made me soup (Chicken & Stars) and a grilled cheese. I have got to keep a better eye on what soups I am eating up and need replaced! Grilled cheese needs tomato soup!
Then it was TV for the rest of the night - yep, that's our big thrilling life. We like it.
As I put my food into MFP today, I notice that I am way under on my calories, so I put in for a popcorn and milk snack, and then go make it. I even have a BIG glass of milk!
I ended up 250 calories short for the day, but I can't eat anything else, so I have to be happy with that.
I'm not sure what's gonna happen tomorrow, food-wise. Sitting in the hospital (Brown County, or whatever it's called now) most all day is not gonna be inducive to good food choices. But, I'll have my nut bars and walnuts & sunflower seeds with me, so I should be okay. A couple of books and my DS, and hopefully my mind will stay occupied, too. We. shall. see. Hoping and praying all goes well.
My mind and my soul are ready - cleansed, if you will - for whatever may happen.
Love you, Jeanie!
Same to ya!
