Jul 6

I’m job hunting, and my wake/sleep cycle seems to run about a 28-30 hour day, so nothing is predictable. *sigh*

Today, I had an usually big breakfast at about… 8 or 8:30 pm? Tofu scrambler, a couple slices of Quorn roast (turkey-ish), and an apple. I’ll probably have a bowl of Kashi sometime before noon and hopefully can figure out a more “normal” dinner tomorrow. I seem to have trouble fitting three full meals in a day, no matter how long it is. Now that I don’t have young kids to feed, it just seems too much work more often than not—and bless his heart, more often than not lately, my son will be the one to take dinner in hand and plonk something down in front of me. Yay, him!

DD, I think it’s better to recognize when you’re full than to clean your plate. I suspect lots of people would envy that!

My late MIL took Fosamax, taking something like that along with Synthroid would definitely take some planning. Diamond_Dog Jul 6 #16
