If you can drive yourself crazy, you can drive yourself happy!
Yesterday was very full, vets with Alfie, doctors with mom, lunch
with lynne, followed by a trip to Ikea, there was some paperwork thrown in
there too – I didn’t seem to stop, finally sat down about 8ish. Luckily part of that day included cooking
lunch for lynne, mom and her kids so made chicken in the Weight Watcher garlic
and herb bags, I did peppers, carrots, courgette and mushrooms in another one
and baked jacket potatoes, it was delicious.
Whilst it was cooking I made a pan of brocolli soup which I’ll have
today, and also prepared stuffed mushrooms for today, I’ve used up the last of
the blue cheese I bought when we were away so now my fridge is a safe zone
again!
Alfie bless him has antibiotics again and I’ve got to put him on a
gluten free diet to see if it helps his itching. Mom is all good too, the doctor gave her some
tablets which will hopefully help and assured us both that her memory problems
are nothing more than expected for a women of her age, so she can stop worrying
now that she’s losing her mind ;-) We both already knew she was crazy, she
always has been, we like her that way.
I think it’s really important to realise that you don’t ever have
to do anything out of duty, or because you think you should or you ought to.
That includes losing weight. Do
everything with love, otherwise don’t do it!
I hear so many people moan about their situations and say stuff like, “I
have to care for my sick father/mother cos no one else will”, the truth is NO
you don’t, there is always another option, the alternative might be a difficult
decision to make but there is always a choice, and if you’re going to be a
martyr or moan constantly or let it ruin your life, then choose the
alternative.
I’m more than willing to take care of my mom, it’s a decision I
made a very long time, at the moment we’re still a team, but I’m aware that in
the future that could change and I’m prepared for that. We choose the path we take, you may not think
you have but as there’s always another route you can choose, then believe me
where you are right now is where you’ve chose to be – so if you don’t like it –
change it. Not easy? Nope it’ll probably be very, very difficult!
Worth it? Hell yeah!
Look outside – YAY it’s not raining, me and Alfie can venture out
in the dry this morning, if the little chap can keep his eyes open, bless him,
he can now get on my office window sill via my desk since my change round so he
can sit with me all the time if he wants too and right now he’s looking at me
longingly, I think he wants a walk ;-)
I sent out a text message yesterday to my members yesterday;
