Friday. Am doing my best to hold myself together with all that is circulating around me. Tomorrow will be (would have been) my 28th anniversary with Cutty. Part of me wants to run away to Hot Springs... get a nice soothing mineral bath, pamper, etc. The other part thinks I'd be better off just planting a nice 'something' in my yard.. staying home.. esp after just returning from a trip. I just asked Mushy if she wanted to go on another road trip ~ she actually raised her head and looked interested. We'll see.
Haven't eaten anything today - haven't been hungry. Thirsty, yes. So I guess we'd call this an intermittent fast... I had a large water and will see if I'm still hungry after posting this journal.
I did finish the small chocolate cake last night and had a couple of kiwi later. This after a nice dinner of cedar roasted salmon served with roasted potatoes & onions with steamed green beans. But the cake is gone and with it went my cravings for chocolate.
I have the other half of that Salmon dinner leftover for today and will have that for a late breakfast/lunch later. If I wait long enough it may be my only meal for the day.
If not My other choices for dinner from my Home Chef box this week include Fig-Glazed Pork Tenderloin with carrots, Brussels sprouts and onions on the side OR Chicken in Oregano-Tomato Cream with cherry tomatoes and green beans on the side.
I saw a video somewhere making healthy ice cream using 3 bananas, chopped and frozen, then either peanut butter, chocolate chunks, berries, or vanilla bean (one, not all but .. hey....) and a little vanilla extract and 1/2 cup of water. Mix it all in a food processor then freeze one hour. Healthy soft serve ice cream. Not a bad idea. I may try it. Have to get a food processor first. Wondering if my Nutribullet would do the same thing without having to acquire another appliance. I'm also thinking pineapple would be neat thing to try .. but maybe that's because I've had a whole one in the fridge for a week and need to use it. Or freeze it.
The Grandson came out yesterday for a whole two hours. That witch has him on a curfew and I cannot BELIEVE he is adhering to it. If Blondie had said 'be home by 8:30 ...' well, it would have been a different story. They turned in an application for an apartment yesterday so she's sinking her claws in deeper. I hate her. Literally HATE.
In traditional redneck fashion we bonded a little more by going to the firing range. He's more of the spray & pray type shooter. I'm about aim and accuracy. My left hand is a bit of a wreck because the slide on the 9mm popped back and pinched; then just for old times sake I nearly sliced my left thumb off chopping that onion at dinner. Hadn't done that in a while. Let's hope that's it for 2017.
