I felt different this morning. It was still difficult getting vertical, as usual. But as I hurried to the bus I noticed that my joints didn't hurt. I'm not sure what to attribute it to. More vegetables and more water, less carbs? Or just a good day?
I'll take it!
I spent the morning with my favorite baby in the whole world, my granddaughter Grace. She was in a wild mood this morning. We had many activities: Books, tummy time, diaper changes, bottle feeding, pureed spinach, pears and peas (which she loved!), dancing and then about an hour of Baby Einstein DVD's. She put her head on my shoulder several times. I thought with relief she was going down for her nap, but then she popped up and looked at me square in the face with a grin, as if to say, "Fooled you!"
When my daughter got home from her meeting, and my son-in-law from his appointment, we took a family walk in hopes of encouraging a nap. No such luck.
Finally, after much fussing, she nursed and passed out. My daughter handed me our little package of joy so she could get some computer work done. And I got my sleeping baby fix.
Sleeping baby: Sweetest thing in the world!
Even though I was not as sore as usual, I was quite tired. I did not have a speck of caffeine all day. It is now 4:28, and I dare say too late for caffeine.
I'm going to try and wean myself off of coffee. Acck! Did I just type that?
Yes, I think it is time!
I drank two bottles of water infused with fresh strawberries, ate eggs with spinach, mushrooms and feta cheese for breakfast, celery and ranch yogurt dip for a mid morning snack, and a lovely baked chicken and brussels sprouts dish my daughter whipped up.
Speaking of my daughter, she texted me a picture of pure genius yesterday: Riceless sushi!
"I didn't know there was such a thing!" I exclaimed.
She told me she didn't either. She just asked the sushi chef to make a sushi roll with fish and veggies, no rice.
Brilliant!
I will have to try it. I love sushi. And I just read in a book on lowering blood pressure naturally through diet (I'm reading it for my mother) recommends increasing the fish intake.
I am at the library now. I'll be heading out to teach my piano students shortly. I'm anticipating a good night's sleep tonight!
Talk to you tomorrow!
Love,
Zita

I'll take it!
