I thought this week I would go for old school comfort food. I love chicken and dumplings, but it is a high calorie food. I am using several recipes and making my own. Each has their own thing that I am taking away from it. The initial calculation for calories is about 900 calories. What's [...]
Sundays I am not making dinner for my mother in law. It's hard to get her to eat anything on her own that isn't grab and go. Tony wants me to give her more variety and this is the way I can do it. It's not uncommon for a person with dementia to become more [...]
This week I am thinking about goals. I think about goals a lot, including fitness goals. It's easy to get stagnant. I have a couple of fitness goals I am working towards: running a sub nine minute mile and lose the extra weight I gained during the menopause time. I'm pretty disciplined already. However, I [...]
It hasn't been too crazy this week. A couple of presentations but no real travel. Things are plugging along at our old house. The thing we are not looking forward to is cleaning out the rest of our stuff. The garage will be a nightmare. Deciding what to keep and what to sell as well [...]
Another conference in the books. My presentation went well, but I didn't know it until after it was over. The audience didn't seem to be interested while I was giving it. However, after I was finished, several people came up to me afterwards telling me how interesting the presentation was. I'll definitely take it. All [...]
We've moved in for the most part. I would say we are about 80% done. There is some stuff back at our old house, but it's mostly odds and ends. We will probably donate or toss most of it. The need to go back to the house for stuff I forgot is becoming less frequent. [...]
Things keep progressing with the house. We have a few rooms now organized and completed. I will be moving my stuff soon. Hopefully by next weekend. It will be nice to finally live there. I like my old house, but the new one is set up much better. This week I am deleting a bottle [...]
Our family and friends are becoming a bit impatient for us to move. Kind of like little kids on a road trip. Are we there yet? Are we there yet? I've already started moving stuff. The big move won't happen until we have all of our projects done. I know I said this last time, [...]
The house is almost clean. We are so ready to move in. It just seems like there is one more thing to do. While that is annoying, I'd rather have it done before we start moving furniture. When we do move, it will be slow. We have a lot of stuff, but only the two [...]
Now that I have some wine left over from the last recipe, I wanted to put it to good use. I am also busy this week with laying floors and needed something simple to make. The floors are coming along slowly but surely. We will soon have only one room left to do, and that [...]
