When Obsessing Over Healthy Eating Turns Dangerous

I noticed that I had not posted anything for a year. NOT unusual for me to just forget something. It is not unusual for me to forget 50 things. It does not really matter about the number of times It is just disheartening  that so many projects fall to the wayside. I wonder how many in my lifetime?  Too many to count. Today is my daughter's birthday. It seems strange that she is all grown up.Why do we say that? Of course she is grown up. She is living her own life and making her way in the world. My house is a lot quieter and I am not use to it. More remodeling is in store.I  will get a new pantry. Our house was built in 1850. We have no closets. I guess they had very few clothes back then. Looking forward to the new pantry. Maybe I can keep this one  organized.. Well, wishful thinking is never wasting time for me.  My daughter asked for chocolate cake with coffee ice cream.  It was a Mocha cream cake torte. When I figure out how to post photos I will have some to post. Well, it is getting late so I  must get some shut eye.  I have weigh in tom. in the A.M.  I will give you a hint. I lost 50 pounds.

IKEA my new love

Home at last. Ventured out of Maine today to take my oldest daughter shopping for furniture for her new apartment.She is getting married in a little over 2 months! That is a later story. We had to spend 10 hours in the car to shop for four hours. We left at 6 this morning. I will admit that the ADHD mind is comfortable in the car but my ADHD body is not! Fidgit, fidgit, fidgit is most of my exercise in the car. But anytime I can take my mind away from the phone, the laundry or even the dishes it is a big deal. You see my mind finds those things boring, not enough stimulation. When I try to come up with things that will interest me while I do these things, I will not get anything done. I want to do the dishes but while I am trying to do them I will sing, recite poetry, make a mental list, plan my day tommorrow and even invent a new gadget. When I realize that I am not geting anywhere with the task I give up.  Sooooooooo being in the car forces me to try to relax. But the dilema comes because I am not getting the things done I need to! So my mind goes into high gear again.. then I cannot relax. I am almost 54 and I think I relaxed back in 1987! Oh, by the way, IKEA is very stimulating. I could spend all day there. Check it out. The Swedish know about design!

My typical day

Is it fair to say by 8:00am I am lost in my own house? We are in the middle of renovating our kitchen so imagine making coffe in the living room, having my whole kitchen in a different room and now I can't find my bike. Oh yea, I do not need my bike,I have to get the mail so I can fold my clothes.  If this sounds confusing It is.This is just the tip of the iceberg. Welcome to a life full of disappointment,trials,hurts,but also spontinaity,fun,joy and love. I have come a long way from my first day of school trying to live up to the expectations of the teachers and the students. Every day is a new day and I try to do something good and thank God for the chance! oooopps gotta go my hair has to be combed!!!
