Today the depression is not winning. Evidence – I am here! J
It has been a long week.
And it’s only Thursday.
Yesterday I attended a military funeral. A friend’s husband. It was a very simple and very moving
ceremony. I sorrow for my friend. But I know she has a very supportive
family.
I intended to write all about the funeral, describe the
ceremony and all particulars, but I can’t somehow. I was able to describe it fully for my
husband, and I can still see it in my mind, but it doesn’t seem appropriate to
put out here. Maybe at a different time
and a different venue. I will tell you
that if you every drive a stick shift to a funeral, make sure you are not in
the procession. Doesn’t work. Not very well anyway. Or maybe it was just me. I have also discovered that stick shift and
Tacoma city driving are not a happy marriage.
Especially in the rain. Too many
hills with stop lights. :P
I am using a new meal planning website. It’s called Plan To Eat and it has the
advantage that it helps me create meal plans.
So far I like it pretty well and can attribute to it the fact that after
driving to Tacoma, spending all day in stressful situations, mostly driving in
the rain and in heavy traffic, I was able to come home, realize I had not
purchased the deli chicken I had intended to feed my husband for dinner that
night, and then pick another menu for which I had planned and shopped, and fed
my husband a decent meal. 15 minute
stroganoff and broccoli gratin. Not a
bad choice. It took more than fifteen
minutes to make, at least partly because 15 minute stroganoff starts with
cooked meat and I had a frozen chub to start with, but it was a good meal. And it did not rely on frozen processed
pre-prepared meals that are made with either too much salt or too much sugar or
both. That was a success.
Maybe that’s why I slept well last night and feel much
better about the world this morning. The
world is a much more positive place today.
