Back to work/school tomorrow. Last night was rough, kiddo didn't fall asleep until 2 am!! And got up at 7 this morning. Think happy thoughts for us today. I need to work on that for him, getting him to bed at a proper time every night until he's in the habit of it I guess. Vacations tend to mess it all up. For me too, left me with a wicked headache this morning. Which has finally gone away! The kitchen is still so nice and clean, I have some actual space to cook actual meals. Not a lot of counter space mind you, this is an "older style" home but it's nice to be able to cook! I've already put together a tuna casserole for tonight, that will hopefully provide leftovers for lunch tomorrow for at least one of us. I have a grocery list for Tuesday (pay day) and will probably go to Dollarama and pick up a couple things to complete the organization of the kitchen and other spaces. I haven't done anything else in the basement or upstairs, but am thinking of scheduling a pick up for February 3rd and putting some stuff together. I have some bags of clothes already, just need labels on them, and some toys in the basement that just need boxes, or perhaps bags. Clear some more space.
Since I am getting groceries Tuesday I will start the "diet" portion on Wednesday. I got a really good keto cookbook in my stocking and it has some really yummy sounding recipes. Of course kiddo probably won't eat the food but I can add some pasta or rice and he'll be happy. I hope. I do need to get moving, my hips have been aching, which is no fun.
I'm with those of you who like to snack in the evening, a drink does help curb that, but chips are my downfall, and kiddo loves them so much. I have to buy the one flavour he'll eat that I hate (ketchup) or I end up eating them all! Otherwise I get him things like goldfish crackers and rice crackers since he will eat those and I don't like them. I wish he'd eat better snacks, but he does eat at least an apple every day so I guess that's something. I love my mini keurig, it's red and looks so nice in the kitchen, and it makes a nice cup of tea or coffee. I just put water through it to make the tea, not the expensive pods. Peppermint is so nice! Refreshing, and good cold or hot.
I still wish I was going on a vacation this year, but I think I'm almost over it. Will be by March I guess I'd like to feel more comfortable by the next trip, able to wear my "cruise clothes" or new (smaller) ones Yes I have a couple dresses I pretty much just wear on cruises! It may seem silly to keep them for that but they pack up nicely, are pretty and not a specific "style" so they don't go out of style really. Any way!
Hope everyone is doing well and enjoying 2020!
