Feb.12 This was a difficult day with/for Mom. I start every morning with her and honestly her bad mornings affect my entire day. Today was no exception but the fact that she called me the night before and cussed me out for not going to her house to take her to her house probably exacerbated my reactions. I know this is the disease and not her, but I am often the target her frustrations and confusion lands on. So I am claiming my guilty pleasure as my joy for the day. Survivor began tonight and I taped it so I could speed watch it later.
Feb. 13 I found 3 free Kindle books that look promising. Since I have been binge reading lately I am thrilled to discover them. I also had a surprise mid day FaceTime call from Pip. She was home because she spent all night barfing but felt much better and needed to talk to someone. I was not at school like her friends and became her default contact. She does call me every morning on her way to school so I am used talking to her, but the FT call was a treat.
Feb. 14 Obviously Valentine's Day has its own joys. I have a vase filled with blush roses on the table and I have a box of baby bites from Pastry Arts in the dining room . I was at the store a quarter before 10 and had to wait in line for about 15 minutes . I guess everyone wanted delicious mini cakes for Valentine's Day. I did not go to Cookie Fix though. By a little after 10 the line to get into the shop was halfway down the block and it did not even open until 10:30. They are delicious, but I can wait. There will be another non keto day in March and I will get some then maybe.
While I was in the car Pip called via FaceTime again. I was driving and could not see her though I could hear her as she pulled out everything I sent in her Valentine box. The sloth blanket and the 10 button pink satin little girls gloves were the huge hits, but the chocolate was a close third. I love being a grandmother. It is the best job in the world.
The last joy involved a change of plans. We had decided to go see Parasite. Things are blooming here now and my eyes have been really itchy. I felt like trying to read subtitles through itchy teary eyes was not a great idea so we decided to rent Harriet. The nearest Redbox is between our home and a nearby bluff. After grabbing the DVD we drove there, parked and watched a gorgeous sunset.
Feb. 15 Two of our favorite people and favorite pooch came over for a post Valentines dinner.
Feb. 16 TheHub and I went to see Richard Jewel. I remember the bombing well and remember all the following chaos. It was a well done movie.
Feb. 17 The day included remembering my MIL If she were still living she would have been 99.
Feb. 18 Book club night! Continuing the theme meal honoring an author’s birthday month. We ate at The Red Pearl. Delicious Chinese food. Thank you Amy Tan.
I got busy and did not keep a food diary this week. Just as well, since I fell off the keto wagon Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I decided to fast Monday and now am back to keto eating. It is not nearly as much fun!
