Life Continues

Michael had fewer tears yesterday. Plans are being put into place. We are out of the loop of decision makers and just doing what the others ask of us. I am totally staying out of it all. This is something Michael needs to handle with his family. His sister Debbie is being flown to Las Vegas to help with the packing up of the apartment. Anna arrives there today. I noticed that Michael seems to need to be with me right now. He has been leaving late in the morning and coming home around 2:00 in the afternoon. I asked if he wanted to go for a ride along the ocean or up through the trees. No. He just wants to be home. With me.

I spent the day with my mom, which is always a pleasure but even more so yesterday. It was the first deep breath I had taken in a few days. Moms are the best.

The rehab class is today. It will feel great to get back to my routine. Sherman's 88th birthday celebration is planned for Thursday. I remember when he turned 80!

We are going to need food in the house so I made the menu for the next week. It seems that life continues. Wash needs to be done. Pots need to be watered. Food needs to be bought. So, the upcoming dinner menus are:

Pork Chops with Thai Green Beans - http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/thai_style_greenbeans.html

Houston Chicken - http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/houston_chicken.html

Coconut Shrimp (a bit high in carbs) with a side salad - http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/baked-coconut-shrimp-recipe/index.html

Breakfast is often a bowl of chopped veggies from Trader Joe's with a small amount of Trader's Goddess Dressing and a low-fat string cheese stick. I think I will make a No Crust Pizza - http://www.genaw.com/lowcarb/no_crust_pizza.html -  and cabbage for lunch or I sometimes switch the two. Add a few pistachios for my 3:00 snack and that is my food for the week.
