Security blanket
Nov. 3rd, 2006 08:52 amI forgot my cell phone at home on the charger. It's amazing how naked I feel without it and how concerned I am that I might need it. We did survive quite well before cell phones! Are we sure technology is making our lives easier?
On other notes, my little brother, S, (no genetic relation) will be here around 2 today. I get to see him about once a year. Our time gets shorter and shorter. At first he was supposed to be available 2-5 then it was 2:30-5, then maybe 2:30-4:30 and now perhaps 3-4:30. I harassed him about it, so he said he'd try to get here earlier. An hour and a half a year isn't much of a visit. We do talk on IM regularly but it's not the same.
My weight is driving me crazy. It just keeps climbing. It's dark now before I get home so I can't go out and take a walk. I haven't found an exercise video that I like and I don't belong to a gym. I'm trying to cut back on food and make better choices but so much is dictated by the kinds of foods I can afford. Prepackaged carbs are by far the cheapest foods but also the worst for me. I really hate cooking when I get home from work, so easy preparation is important as well. It doesn't make a good combination for me. I'm going to look into the prepackaged vegetables that you steam in the bag in the microwave. Those should be a little better. The problem is, to keep my blood-sugar levels even, I need protein on a regular basis. I run out of ideas for cooking meat, specially when I have mostly just chicken. I feel like I'm playing Russian roulette with my health but I'm in a catch 22 which won't let me out. I'm so frustrated!
