Holy crap, it's the start of a second month, and I am purging last week's carb bloat like you wouldn't believe. I wish I could show You my dinner from last night. It'll have to wait. I've been messing around, and found a way to stream video from my phone into my computer and onto Twitch.com, so I might just start a creative crafts stream this month. Anyway, I take photos with my phone, and right now the computer is updating the USB software so I can hopefully use the USB connection to feed video into the computer. Such fun, many waiting.
This morning was nearly plain butter coffee- I added a capful of vanilla, which is really light in the coffee, but softens the flavor up a bit. Some days I guess I just don't want a biting bitter brew. I was planning to walk to the cafe today, but it snowed overnight, and then the temperature plummeted. It's 15 degrees F out right now, slick since the sidewalks aren't cleaned off. The mental health clinic has a walk at the community center planned today, so I sent a text to the coordinator to see if there's room in the van for a ride with them. There's a free for use indoor walking path there, so I figured if there's a seat open, I could walk in warmth and comfort with my chunes in my ear. I just have to remember not to try matching other people's pace, so I don't wear out too soon. (Just got a reply, They've got room for me!)
Once again I'm at a loss as to what to prepare for dinner. There's a leftover steak in the fridge, a couple chicken thighs for soup, and a couple pork chops. Because it's so cold, I think I'll pull out the thighs and make a soup, along with a carrot and the last parsnip. Sadly, that would also mean no more broth in storage. Next time I'm in either the butcher's or the local grocery, I will have to ask for bones.
Today I'm paying bills, taking care of things, getting dad a new coffee grinder as his is difficult for him to use (and grinds beans horribly coarse). It's going to be a rather mundane day, which I need. Too much activity during a week and I start to feel stressed, which is annoying with all the energy I get when I eat Wild. I want to run around and do more than I can mentally handle, and I end up burnt out. I have to remember to allow for plenty of relaxing to prevent that burnout.
Here's to a good walk later, and lots of hot tea to counter the cold of the day. Soup sounds better and better every minute.
