Life

My mom-in-law is still in the nursing home, still in pain, and, now, the insurer is denying her a hip replacement, which she needs asap.
My husband has had 7 Wendy's Frosties in one weeks time.  That's how he deals with stress.
I, however, am back to protein, vegies and coconut.  Steamed wild salmon for bruch today.  It's funny how a piece of salmon takes away all those cravings I just had at the grocery store.  Get a little good fat and protein in your system, and food obsession goes away.  Get rid of the sugar, and, anxiety is curbed.
Last week, after a few days of Halloween candy, I had the anxious pit in my stomach, and I was super irritable--yelling at drivers (I wasn't even driving), snapping at my husband, ranting about politics and insurance companies.  Now, while not entirely zen, I'm much calmer, accepting that life happens, and you take it day by day.  That's really all you can do, although, eating well helps more than you can imagine.
I would like to thank my niece for taking the rest of the Halloween candy home.  I do feel a little guilty, passing it off to her, but she's a runner, so, not as bad as giving it to small children, which, by the way, I didn't do, because we did not get one trick or treater.  I wonder if that's because I wouldn't turn on the porch light?
