Birthday dinner  Whatever I want has no calories today So Mr. Bliss is preparing a fantastic spaghetti sauce and I am not allowed to participate in the preparation, since I AM the Birthday Girl and shouldn't have to lift a finger. But I believe it will involve artichokes, mushrooms, fresh garlic, red wine and hot sauce. And french bread with garlic butter, of course.

Thank you all for the birthday wishes! The spaghetti sauce was yummy! Today we're off to the Big City to shop and will end up at this neat German restaurant for a sausage and sauerkraut buffet. Monday it'll be back to the treadmill

Happy Birthday, my friend.
But seriously: Garlic, garlic bread, German sausage, and sauerkraut? Tums, anyone?

Happy Birthday, my friend.
But seriously: Garlic, garlic bread, German sausage, and sauerkraut? Tums, anyone? Now you are speaking my language!! I would have that dinner sans the garlic bread. But you know what? I don't get heartburn anymore since I stopped eating bread. I used to get heartburn so bad I had to sleep sitting up. No more, unless I have a bread cheat. I would have never guessed it was the bread all along..

I am not sure. My health sure improved immensely when I eliminated bread. My blood sugar and energy levels improved, and my heartburn just vanished. I also got my weight under control when I cleaned up my diet. I am real choosy about what carbohydrates I eat because of their impact on blood sugar and weight gain. I avoid the starchy, nutrient sparse carbs.

Happy Birthday, my friend.
But seriously: Garlic, garlic bread, German sausage, and sauerkraut? Tums, anyone? Whoa! Sharp left turn on the German-themed dinner. Sadly, there was a mile-long line waiting to dine. We're talking Schmidt's Sausage House, and there are NO reservations.  So off we went to Claddagh's Irish Pub for Stout and Bangers with mashed potatoes (Sugar will correct me: it's Bangers and Mash, I think , with a free dessert for the Birthday Girl. NG, garlic, garlic bread, German sausage and sauerkraut wouldn't make a dent on this one's cast-iron stomach!

Have the someone check for money or a gift card first.....burn the card or have your friend destroy it, then if money or gift card shows up.....donate it.

I don't have a friend to do that.
So I opened it carefully, not looking at any writing.
It was full of pictures my kids drew, while they were visiting her.
I will dispose of it, because she wrote her name along with the kids.
But that was a big relief.

But my question is why did she have the kids make a card for me?
Why ask (last week ) if she can go to recreational activity? By the way, I did notify the case worker That she was sending messages through my kid and the case worker said that was a violation and they would talk to her

Did you see the post I made in recovery?
Is it normal to feel slightly sad on events like birthdays?
I think if I felt sad then my kids probably feel sad on their birthdays too
Today, except for a terrible allergy headache, I felt much better.
Logically, I know I am better off.
Emotionally, like yesterday, I want to cling to her.
And I question myself: Why do I cling to the ghost of a marriage?
