Who's in charge of this barge?

Thought I'd get this party started, I'm having a hard time focusing on work today.

My weekend was alternately fun and sucky.  Hubby and I went to the Aflac thing on Saturday and that was okay.  It was a little noisy, but it was nice to be around other grownups for a while.  Sunday, my grandmother was admitted to the hospital - she's got congestive heart failure.  She's almost 93 and has had many health issues this last year, though, so this isn't unexpected.  We know it's a matter of time, we're just praying it's as peaceful as possible.

Anyway, food:

Breakfast -
egg / English muffin / bacon / cheese
coffee

Lunch -
chicken & spinach

Snack -
string cheese
apple
Whoops, the apple and string cheese didn't make the cut -- some chocolate and potato chips took their place (how did that happen?!).  I'm sure the culprit is stress.

Had a latte at the hospital - Grandma's coloring is better, but her heart is still in atrial fibrillation.  The docs are not optimistic she'll come out of that, but we're still looking at anywhere from days to weeks.  I really hope it's fast, for her sake. 

Dinner -
fake'un cheeseburger (morningstar griller with turkey bacon and cheese on sandwich flatbread)

Y'all stay warm, it's supposed to get chilly again out there!

(I squeezed in a run after I got home, went about 1.75 miles before I got frozen.  Here's hoping the exercise helps my stress & panic attacks.)

Hey Wendy, we're all in charge of our own barge (in life, that is)....but it's so nice to have crew mates rowing along with you, isn't it?
Glad you had a decent time at the Aflac thing. I felt your pain. Gee....a whole room of insurance sales people, what fun. So sorry about your grandmother, will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers.

 Fosamax Monday once again, so after taking the pill, waiting 30 minutes before I could have my latte, I decided to go ahead and eat first. BIG change for me. Maybe if I could get myself to eat first thing, then wait my 30 before drinking my latte or coffee, it would change things up for this poor confused bod of mine.

Going out to lunch today with a friend, then to a knitting class at the local library. I've knitted since I was 8, but haven't picked up a project for a couple of years now. Maybe this will get me motivated again. If I'm knitting I can't very well eat, now can I??

2/3 cheese and shaved turkey quesidilla on high fiber tortilla

Yes, company is good!  I hate to see you all hauling those heavy oars by yourselves. ;-)

That salad sounds really intriguing, was it good?

I'm jealous that you can knit.  I've tried, and I'm just not coordinated enough to handle two needles.  I can crochet the heck out of anything, though!  It's pretty, but knitting has a certain sophistication that you can't get with crochet, IMO.

You're so considerate to not let me do all the rowing alone. After all, a barge is a hell of a lot bigger than a dingy, but when I got it, I thought there would be more on board....????

Yes, the salad was very good. It really comes with goat cheese, but I didn't want to go there, besides, any chance to have either bleu or Gorganzola makes me happy. Have you ever been to Ya Ya's?? It's very good, and what a nice atmosphere!

Oh yeah, that's my knitting....sophisticated
