There's a couple days of week (Sunday almost always being one of them) where I don't *need* to set an alarm.
Sleeping in used to feel decadent, even if it was only extra hour. Now, it just feels bad because I feel like I've wasted half the day.

Welp, finally got a court date for the divorce.
8:30am on the day after Christmas.
I can't decide if I'm annoyed or if it's the best Christmas present ever. At least it's a virtual hearing.

I have completed my holiday spirit for today.

I have completed my holiday spirit for today.
Couldn't decide what I wanted for lunch. I have a fridge full of veggies and a rotisserie chicken, so I made a quick & dirty chicken soup and OMG it was exactly what I wanted.
...usually for me soup is A Project, but this was like 20 minutes start to finish, single serving, perfect for today […]

Done with work, and looking at tomorrow's to do list.
It includes mucking around in BIOS to try to get my computer to place nice with Win11, putting up a Christmas tree for the first time in over a decade, trying out a new recipe or two, and putting a not insignificant number of stitches into […]

All I have to say about my current mood is it better be goddamn hormonal because I CANNOT feel like this for the next six weeks.
No hard feelings to everyone who loves this time of year, but dear god. It already feels endless and it's not even actually Thanksgiving until the day after tomorrow.

I feel like the theme of the last month's food choices has been "not nearly as good as it looks; won't buy it again, but will probably finish the package."

Dinner: 3 veggies, 1 fruit, pita bread, hamburger for my protein. Under the broiler is so the way to go for burgers!
Not sure how I feel about the radishes, may not make them again, but I’ll eat them.

(c) that I've barely played or not played at all since then.

This might be the most successful low-carb sweet I've made so far. Subbed both instances of sugar with Truvia Brown. I didn't toast the almond flour, but I did brown the butter and sub half the vanilla extract for almond.
This is so very very good […]

Heavy housework day (it's well overdue).
Part of that was getting behind and under the couches in the living room. One of them I feared was on its way out - there was a suspicious deep indent on one side and I figured it probably wasn't anything that was repairable.
Still, I got it flipped […]

It nearly killed me, but the new pantry has been assembled. I am 100% calling that my afternoon workout, OMG.

So, I am doing my best to eat better using mostly real food stuff, but also? I am not above shortcuts. I, in fact, love a short cut.
I haven't had a "meal replacement shake" in years because they used to be awful. I don't know if they're overall less awful than they used to be, but I ordered […]

[It's going to be a whiny Wednesday]
Yesterday was hard, but I don't think I realized it most of the day, so I haven't even really started processing it.
Nothing catastrophic happened, but the day started with a mix-up on my therapy appointment which had me scrambling. From that point on? […]

Trying to work around what seem to be irrational food aversions - especially when trying to eat in a way I'm not used to - is a constant challenge.
But the thing that probably feels weirdest to me, are the things I don't particularly like, but *can* make myself eat if I don't try to overdo it […]

So far today - therapy, grocery delivery, stopped at Mom's for a bit, put money in the bank, got my chicken into the crockpot (way late, but it's in there), checked the oil & got my order in so that's heat settled for about a month anyway.
