monday afternoon
so far i have not eaten much at all. my pain level has been really acute last night and today so i have been laying down most of the day so far and the funny thing is gracie has been resting as much as i did!
1:30 p.m. i tried for the second time the healthy choice cafe steamers...they are really really good i think...the beef was done and the veggies were done yet still a bit crispy. the sauce was so good too. i was really impressed with them and encourage others to try them. i am not sure how much they were because a friend bought some food for me (which was so sweet) i know that i plan to get them again the next time i need to stock my freezer which right now is full of food.i should have eaten sooner but i got up and let gracie out and then she came back in so i took some of my medications and we both went to rest and she slept i think....i did not sleep but did rest some of my leg so that was good choice for me today. i got up and let gracie out took the other medications for the day and then decided to eat something. i am wating because i am still not quiter full but want to wait a bit to see if i still am. i think if i had eaten a salad or such with the dinner i would not have been still hungry. well i stayed hungry and wanted to eat something healthy so i ended up eating oatmeal which i really like and now i am full. i am really trying to eat carbs with protein so figured that the meat was the protein with the oatmeal even though it is not typical to eat oatmeal with a frozen dinner for me. : )
i think my eyes are getting worse because i need to wear my glasses more. i would like to get them checked out but even if i got into the free clinic if i needed new glasses i could not afford them. i feel older if i have to wear my glasses all of the time but funny thing is i do not think a think bad about others young or older or even kids who have to wear them! i used to have a pair of really great glasses that the frames were purple looking like metal and i got comliments on them. when i went to get the new glasses the framers were to shot they said to use and since bvr paid for them i had just a few choices. i am grateful for them..just missing the purple ones that i used to have and those i even wore all of the time not that i had to at that time but i got compliments on them and felt they were something trendy to wear which i almost all of time am not trendy . i am one of those people who do not seem to follow the trends like to be basic with jeans or sweat style pants and tee shirts and such.
not much planned for today....andy is coming over after work to take my trash out for me so that is such a HUGE help because with a cane in one hand and trying to carry the trash in the other just is a mess and i tend to trip or drop things even if i use a cart it is difficult for me to push the cart and use my cane. andy and i go to church together and he was one of the people who helped at my place a few weeks ago. he is a sweet young man.
i ate a snack of chex mix one serving at around 4:30 p.m. i should eat something else before it gets later but not sure what i want.............hmmmm i think i might end up drinking a slim fast later on and call it dinner.
