What we are eating and what's eating us,Friday!
Linda,
Funny you should mention belts. I bought one recently, but every time I wear it, I feel like it calls attention to my middle, which is nowhere near as big as it used to be, but is still pretty big in relation to the rest of me. I should just wear it and say, "To hell with it."
I went to visit my mom today, to celebrate her 90th birthday. I had high expectations of this visit, but Mom was pretty much out of it. I'm not sure she even recognized me. I asked a nurse about it - if Mom is on any new medications - and she said Mom was fine this morning. So other than the pleasure of feeding Mom a chocolate bon bon (she loves chocolate) and seeing her enjoy that, the visit was a bummer. But later I got a call from Mom's oldest friend, who said she'd just talked to Mom and had a great chat. Maybe Mom was just tired when I was there.
Honestly, I don't remember a danged thing I ate today, or yesterday. My brain is fried. But tomorrow is a new day (as Scarlet would say).

Jean,would you believe I typed this message last night and fell asleep before I hit the enter button??? Scary!!
I have had to accept the belt as I can not afford to buy new jeans every month..LOL.
I will not show my belly though,so the top is always out.We will never be perfect,I try to be grateful of the strides I have made.
I too understand being tired and out of it. I thank God I have you guys to talk to,because I do not know where my life is going. I just don't seem to want to fight anymore,fight the pain,go to work...trying to be grateful I have a job,at least I hope I still do as I am hanging on a string there,after having been a top performer.
You are so kind to your mom,I know it weighs heavy on your heart. It is good you talked to her friend,so that you know your mom is not down all the time.
I love Miss. Scarlet's motto also,and use it a lot. Tomorrow is another day. I hope I can take care of myself,and walk back into work on Tuesday ready to give my best,or to accept that my work life is over for now. If I do stay,I am going to part time,I believe that is all I can handle for now.
The fact that you do not remember what you ate means the other part of our title,something is eating you.
I like you Jean,you shoot from the hip....smile.
Thank you for sharing your life with me.
