Grief can be cleansing, clearing away cobwebs and unfulfilled intentions from a cluttered psyche. I am calm today, and with the exception of breakfast I made mostly good food choices. Okay, maybe not so much after writing it down - no greens! Sigh. But at least there were no voices in my head about whether to do this or that. I just ate what I wanted when I was hungry.
At lunch the universe reminded me that while my nails are enjoying a period of being longer and stronger than usual, they were not to be admired. Splurging on a manicure I didn't notice how much she had trimmed off. But even short they look nice and I can still drum a little should I happen to become impatient.
A is having a really emotional evening; perhaps the cafeteria food, maybe just tired from three days off, who knows. But I will keep my patience and love her and try to help. What else can we do?
In the calm after we have read a little she asks, "Guess What?" "What?" I say. "I love living with you Grama." That's my sweetie.
Breakfast: Decaf coffee, sausage biscuit
Lunch: baked squash and whole grains casserole
Dinner: baked pumpkin slices, whole grain toast w/ avocado and toasted quinoa burger
