A Little Xmas – Day 8

Today was supposed to be “Rest Day”. Well, I seem to have logged 4.8 miles on the Fitbit and I went for a 30 minute swim. I didn’t do any yoga. Maybe I’ll try to rest tomorrow!

Party Season is over for me. So, I fired up the rice cooker this noon. I cooked some pasta in the rice cooker. It worked fine. And I steamed some veggies while the pasta cooked. Made pasta and veggie with mango salsa for lunch – after yesterday’s carnivore feast veggies were a good idea. And, I have two meals of pasta and veggies stashed in the fridge. My favorite fish was up to $22 per pound today… So, I don’t think I’ll be adding fresh fish to my menu anytime soon.

Eleven weeks ago, Carlton was still “Enjoying Every Sandwich”. Looking back at the blog – I see that his last sandwich was fish fajitas. I guess if I had known – it would have been cheese burgers since that was his favorite. I am enjoying every sandwich for dinner tonight – cheese and avocado on English muffin.

I think I have “adapted” to being Carlton-less here in Kona. In many ways it is easier that the last two winters in Hawai’i have been. Now, that I am not worrying about Carlton 24/7 – Now, I realize how much energy and resources I expended on worrying about and carrying for Carlton. I treasure those two years and the time we had together. But, they were a hard two years.

I wonder how well I will do back in Arlington. Alone.

Does anyone else think that the “next” war will be fought in cyberspace and we just lost the first battle?

  1. I was rather surprised too how easily the cinema chains and Sony folded. Even though the movie idea makes me yawn, I would have gone just to tell the “Guardians of Peace” where to stick it. Interstellar was more my kind of film.
