Emmzzi

I'm just back from a fab break in LA, seeing films (Mary Poppins/Vice) and shows (Come From Away/Wicked) and eating both badly and really well, with a friend I hadn't seen in far too long. I have come back with a suitcase of lovely gifts and terrible candy.

Having done no work at all, my head is clearer, and I'm ready for the year ahead. My fridge is full of things to make stews and soups; the soy yogurt is already on the go; my cupboards are stocked for the apocalypse; tomorrow I'm getting the vitamin D lamp out, and going to start walking again. And I have things to write, hurrah.

Underspent on hols so that's some more in the unemployment fund, and new duvet covers arriving from the sales.

I am happy to be back in my simple little home, and keen to find more balance next year. My health needs to be the focus and I'm glad an opportunity for breathing space is coming up.

Parent related calls: dad in another fight with a resident at the care home; police control room with a neighbour wondering where dad was. Pretty low stress. Next visit is end of Jan, if the weather is ok.

Just watching this last episode of Extreme Couponing and changing over the laundry before bed. Hoping my body seamlessly adjusts to UK time.

Getting a chauffeur back from the airport was the best idea ever.

home vibration plates don't tone you up or make you thinner, but they do assist in recovery of fatigued limbs

I got the bus to work today.

I smiled at people.

I had some small amount of walking.

I left wik sharo to be sure to be in time to get the bus.

I bought oranges at the store on the way home.

Because work pay my parking it's slightly more expensive to get the bus than take the car. But I did like seeing who was walking their dog and doing what in the gardens without actually haing to, y'know, go for a walk.

I am going to see if I can get interesting buses to any other parts of town at the weekend, for entertainment!

Smoked tofu stir fry - tonight dinner/ Monday lunch

Baked potato and vegan cheese - Tuesday dinner
Hummus and sandwich thins - Wed lunch
Pepper onion potato and corn polenta - Wed dinner, Thursday lunch
Baked potato and tofurkey sausages - Thursday dinner
Friday - out for lunch and dinner

Breakfasts - savoury mochi, porridge, avocados

Snacks - fruit, the soy yogurt mountain, miso soup

Drinks: squash, the coffee mountain. Am getting used to less diet soda in my life.

Food budget for April is £20 a week, because I have so much to use up! So into town on Saturday for fresh fruit and veg from the market (proved v cheap and great quality this week) and a trip to the wholefoods shop for tofu products.

As I am getting the bus to work this week, I won't be tempted by supermarket stops on the way home; it will only lead to more walking, which in current state of illness, is not wise.

 Cineworld 40/40 Dr Strange. It is obvious to ALL WOMEN he is a jerk from the time he opens his mouth. Please cut 30 mins of film explaining to jerks in the audience he is a bigger jerk than them. However, Tilda love.


Netflix 30/20 no change This entry was originally posted at http://emmzzi.dreamwidth.org/639980.html. Please comment there using OpenID.
