Went to KC today to meet a dear friend for lunch and make a Costco run. Left at 9:30 and got home at 4:00. Not ure why but making a round trip to KC always wears me out.
I got to the restaurant a bit early so I could have a discussion with our waiter about my food choices. I decided on a piece of salmon and a double serving of vegetables. When the salmon came it was rare on the inside and didn’t have many veggies so I had to send it back. I reminded him I wanted a double serving of veggies when I sent it back and then asked for more when he brought it back. He never brought me more. Maybe it was a double serving but it wasn’t close to 10 oz which is what I was to have. They didn’t have any fruit and I forgot to take some with me. Eating out can be a challenge on this plan.
The veggie of the day was roasted Brussels sprouts. They were chopped up and mixed in with salad greens. I actually enjoyed them! That is new for me as I don’t usually like Brussels sprouts. They didn’t have another veggie choice so I had decided to try them. I’m glad I did.
Not sure I stayed in my Bright Lines but I did the best I could at this restaurant. The only thing I could have done differently is taken my own food. That feels uncomfortable to me and a bit rude. Easier to eat at home right now.
I’m surprised I am not really hungry for dinner tonight since I didn’t eat all my allowed food for lunch today. I am starting to get hungry but am not starving. Good sign I think!
Tomorrow is a free day for me. I feel like I need one to get caught up. Friday I have jury duty unless I find out otherwise Thursday night when I call. I need to get the oil in my car changed so think I will drop it off on my way into the court-house Friday morning if I have to go. The service station is right across the street from the court house.
Drove through a bit of moisture coming home today. Unfortunately it didn’t follow me all the way home. The ground was damp this morning here but don’t think we got much rain over night.
Need to go do a critter check and make sure everyone is good. I miss the critters when I am gone for a day.
Grateful for a safe trip to and from KC today, grateful to see my dear friend, and grateful I remembered Epsom salts so I can take a salt bath tonight.
