5/18 & 5/19
Well, this was a nice enough weekend, life-wise, and a sort of OK weekend, food-wise.
Saturday was quite quiet. DH was worn out from his trip and not feeling well, so we spent almost the whole day just relaxing and clearning out the TiVo. I didn't mind too much. I skipped breakfast, and we went out for lunch where I had a bit of soup, 1 roll, a BLT club, and a few bites of fruit. And like 3 Cokes. But it was good.
I don't think I did a whole lot of munching in the afternoon until I started to get hungry again around supper time. I made up a big pan of chicken enchiladas, which turned out very nice. But in the course of that evening I also finished off the last 1/2 cup of sherbet, 4 pastry twists, a yogurt cup, and the last cup of Chex Mix. Weekends are definitely hard--too much unstructured time.
Sunday we took mom out for a belated mother's day. The place we went for bruch has amazing, rich food and I enjoyed it all. I had orange juice, eggs benedict, a very healthy portion of their ultra-rich hashbrown casserole, and a few bites of DH's bacon. I left noticably full, but not painfully stuffed.
Afterwards, we went back to mom's to help with chores. I planted flower seeds and helped condition one bed, did the shopping, and a couple of other small things. DH fixed her bedroom light and fan, which was a big help.
Mom seemed to be doing OK yesterday. I could see her shifting and twisting a bit with the pain, but at least she was awake and clear-eyed and able to enjoy her breakfast. I didn't see any evidence of nausea or anything. I was very grateful she had skipped the chemo on Friday--it seemed to make life a lot easier. Unfortunately, it doesn't really help with the big, overall cancer problem, but it was nice to have a good day.
We were both ravenous when we got home, so we ordered in italian. I had half of my lasanga, a garlic cheese bread, a can of Coke, and a big cookie with milk. On the plus side, I didn't eat the extra bread that came with my meal, nor did I order a 2-liter of Coke. So, that's something I guess?
We spent the rest of the evening just relaxing and complaining about how we didn't want to go to work on Monday. It was pretty nice.
