I'm sitting by a constant thinking-out-loud-while-trying-to-work-why-isn't-this-working-everything-sucks-etc. partner who I love dearly, hearing the cookies & ice cream call my name.
I took a time-out to read Bella's journals; her deep thoughts help me so often. I do feel hunger, as I'm eating light since I've taken a couple days off from exercising to rest my knee, and to try to recover from too little sleep, which exacerbates the whole "what kind of hunger is this" thing. I also feel emotional hunger; double whammy
I baked good old oatmeal chocolate chip cookies (butter, unbleached white flour) this morning to take to a friend whose wife is unwell (who loves chocolate chip cookies) with something akin to Alzheimer's but several different doctors have not been able to find a diagnosis. He's a good man, devoted to her. I wanted to do something special for both of them.
I customized some of the dough for him. He likes to eat peanut M&Ms at the soccer games where we have had season tickets next to each other for years. I took out some dough before adding chocolate chips, added mini baking M&Ms & chopped peanuts instead to his portion.
Both versions turned out yummy; I had one of each for breakfast. Okay, not exactly a good light breakfast choice. :o)
I posted pictures of my cookies on facebook, promised them to friends, short-circuiting any cookie-pig-out session in private. My partner ate three after the nice lunch I made. Dinner will be the Minestrone with Sweet Potatoes & Swiss Chard I made last night. For me anyway.
Last soccer game I got a small kettle corn; going to try to NOT do that tonight. I should pop one of my 100 calorie bags of butter flavor popcorn, bag it, & take it with me. What is it about sporting events that makes me want to munch? A lot of people; the couple on the other side of us has been bringing zip-locks of dark chocolate covered blueberries to the past few games, and sharing. They'll eat some of my cookies tonight. :oD
It is so cool to have my computer working again! Now I just need to turn it on and read journals & respond when I'm not in the same room with football and constant commentary from the home office.
I'm going to Zumba in the morning, YAY! Taking cookies to my instructor to share with her two young sons. Hopefully some of my Zumba pals will show up. If not, everyone's your friend in the Zumba party atmosphere. No wonder I go through withdrawal when I have to skip it. I feel isolated when I'm stuck here with no energy for much of anything.
When I'm tired, I don't feel coherent enough to come on here and communicate with everyone. I'm not exactly at the top of my game today, but I felt the need to be here. Ah, I here a ripe pear calling my name, that's an improvement compared to two oatmeal chocolate chip cookies stuck together by some low-fat pumpkin spice ice cream, lol.
