FullaBella's Journal, 22 April 2014

Tuesday - April 22nd. Liver, onions & spinach for breakfast so I've been bullet-proofed (not hungry) all day. I have a turkey and a hen thawing in the sink in cold water to roast this eve. More healthy nutritious food for Operation Freezer ReStock.

ATF yesterday was okay - I was a bit baffled by Pasta Prima Grilled Chicken and Mozzarella Ravioli I picked up at the grocery to try for dinner. I think it's that mass vs weight thing I struggle with in relation to my own body. The package reads 8oz but the serving size is 1 cup yet there's two servings in the package? It's not relevant other than I remembered a couple of bites in I don't like ravioli (despite Dave's Gourmet Butternut Squash Pasta) but was trying to record it. The whole math thing is throwing me. If I were inclined to fits of panic over being 'exact in my RDI' I'd of had trouble sleeping.

But I didn't - I slept quite well and stayed in bed an extra hour. We had thunder showers last night so my grass was pretty and green this morning and Cutty's roses are right on the verge of blooming.

I leave Friday for my train trip to San Antonio. I have a balcony suite overlooking the River Walk at the Valencia. Color me excited. It's going to be a short trip; most of it taken up by the train ride; but it will be nice to get away for a couple of days. Cutty and I went there 10 years ago this month. I'm taking some of his ashes to scatter in the River. It'll be our 25th anniversary. Wild. Almost made it.

I've had a terrible 'crick' or 'cramp' in my neck and shoulder for two days now. Therapy scheduled for tomorrow so looking forward to that. Otherwise, believe it not, that's all I have. Thank you for stopping by to visit with me. Hope you're doing well in your world today.

Bella

You're going to have a super fun trip! Will Mushy be accompanying you?

Thanks everyone - but you're not rid of me yet; it's only Tuesday, LOL. Yes, Mushy will be going too ~ her first train ride as well.

Sounds like an adventure! I like the sound of your breakfast for fullness. Not one for a workday for me but definitely one to try at the weekend

Sounds exciting, I bet mushy will love it, he'll have your undivided attention during the ride :-). Roses look like they will be beautiful and in full bloom before you go :-)

lol Don't go in to fits of panic over logging your food. It's to help you keep a general idea of your daily intake, nothing about this process is exact, right? I'm glad you slept well, it doesn't always come easily to me but when it does I feel amazing. It's funny how much I took peaceful sleep for granted when I was younger... a lot younger. I am super excited to live vicariously through you while you're on your trip to San Antonio. I've always wanted to go on a train!! I hope I get the opportunity to. You have put so much thought into the places you spread cutty's ashes, you never fail to move me... each and every time. I hope the time and thought behind 'letting go' truly bring you peace. Much love always! Oh, and I also love the photo's of your church. You are talented with a camera as well, must be something about Nikon lol.

I think I'm as excited about your trip as you are. How wonderful!! What fun!!! Liver and onions for breakfast...that's the key to killing appetite? Very interesting. Looking forward to seeing pictures of roses in full bloom- I like just typing that phrase : )

Love the photos Bella! I can't believe you nearly have roses already - the warm weather keeps teasing us here....but then the cold comes back....can't wait to get outside more :)

Liver and onions for breakfast would definitely kill my appetite; before I ate them, ha ha. Wow, what a wonderful trip you have planned! It sounds marvelous. I hope your therapist is as good as mine, and your neck and shoulder will better today.

Hey what does "bullet proof" mean in the food sense. Ive heard of this bullet proof coffee that sounds absolutely disgusting, not sure what the point is.
