A SIMPLE LIGHT MEAL WILL DO

WITH GETTING OLDER, I can tell that my eating habits have changed when it comes to food.  I have found that I can go until noon or so before really wanting to eat.  Intermittent FASTING by some.  If I eat a late Breakfast meaning it's a Brunch then eat around 3 for Lunch, when the Supper hour arrives, I may not have an appetite.  A simple, light meal will do.

The Delaney Sisters comes to mind where they would have had a milkshake for their evening meal.  Humm.  Sounds favorable.  I'm not sure my HUSBAND would go along with this.  Shall see.  May give it a go.

This evening after a long day out shopping, we're munching on cheese and crackers for the meal. It's been a while since we did this.  My energy level faded after we got home and I still had groceries to put away.  I'm fading.  I'm fading.  I've faded.  I am faded.  Done.  Kaputt.

We're buying more veggies these days when we do a grocery haul.  We bought quite a few veggies and they are not all fitting into the fridge.  It's ongoing trying to fit all the veggies in there after we increased our intake of vegetables.  Being creative on ways to store food has taken an effort for me to make it happen.  Still trying various ways to have order inside the fridge.

I may have to switch the utility freezer back to a fridge for all of our veggies and fruit stash instead of a freezer.  Another project to consider.  The utility unit can be either a freezer or fridge.   

So far, I have three weeks of menus figured out from the groceries we bought today.  Breakfasts are either eggs with toast and fruit or oatmeal with fruit and nuts.  Cereal is rare, but doable.  A plate of celery, apple slices and peanut butter is another great one then there's cottage cheese plus fruit.  Yogurt, the same.  

Lunches are simple.  Suppers the same.  I usually fix three items per meal.  A meat, a vegetable/fruit and a grain.  Left-overs are rare.  Mixed salads usually on Sundays. 

An early morning Lab was done for my TSH.  Afterwards, we went to eat at First Watch.  Across the street is HOME GOODS.  I couldn't resist.  We strolled the aisles leaving with some tea in a cute tin.  Over to the grocery store for iced tea which I spilled losing half of my Husband's so I poured some of mine into his cup.  The lids are not always placed on the cup tight enough and oops.  Next was GOD'S STOREHOUSE.  I found a few small dolls for my collection.  By this time, it was Lunch and we had fish.  Aldi was the last Topeka stop.  We stocked up on our veggies and fruit, ground turkey and grass-fed beef.

On the drive HOME, we drove through Silver Lake where they have a DG MARKET.  Since I hadn't been inside, I decided that I would look for some cottage cheese.  Nice store for a small town.  No CC so we left and drove HOME.  We rested a little while before having supper then we put the groceries away.  I put a load of laundry in.  I am whipped.  Truly tired.

No NAP today and I hopefully will sleep like a rock tonight.  AND all God's people said, "Amen."
