Just water. Getting ready to go to bed.
Mama had tomato soup, Boost and V8 Low Sodium.

I just had water, too, LIly. I just wasn’t hungry. 🤔 I used to think I had to eat every meal, just because it was “traditional” to eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But now I know that’s not true. I need breakfast, I don’t care for much lunch, and if I do eat a late lunch, I don’t need dinner.

The last thing I had to eat was for dinner last night.

I heated up leftover meatloaf. We finished that, and had leftover sauteed mushrooms and brown gravy and leftover yellow wax beans. I made some mashed potatoes for us, and some green salads.

You’re blessed to be able to eat breakfast. I can only have it if I’m not going out anywhere.

Strawberry shortcake and water for breakfast.

I’m blessed that I can eat practically anything, I guess, Lily, though I eat very little outside of vegetables, fruits, and some whole grains and nuts. I think we’re all blessed in some ways and not in others. If I get the slightest sinus trouble, I get a ringing in my ears that sounds like a jet engine and just reduces me to tears. It even keeps me awake. This never happened before last May, and there is nothing that can be done about it except to take Mucinex and hope and pray. It’s very stressful. I’m okay as long as the temperatures stay high, but even in LA, we’ve been having nights in the 40s, very chilly for here. I also take papaya and pineapple enzymes, which are supposed to be good for it. (I hate to think it would have been worse!) I have a friend, a really wonderful man, who shot himself and died because his was unrelenting. Poor guy! I’d known him since we were kids.

I guess we’re all blessed in some respects and not in others. Seems a shame. Many of us have no health problems when we’re little kids, but are too young to appreciate that fact or take care of our health properly.

You can keep the cold, wind and snow. We don’t need it or want it.🙂

Oh, I know I don’t, either! When the nighttime temperatures drop to the mid-40s here, we think we’re freezing! At least the days do warm up, even in winter, and it’s sunny. I’d be happy never to see snow again, but I have to travel with John (Mathis), so I have to go back east in the winter at times.

I’ll have oatmeal, blueberries, and toast. Maybe some orange juice.

LA 40s are Nashville 20s. Brrr…I put Vicks up my nose. I know you’re not supposed to do that. But it really does help. I also use an essential oil blend that was recommended by one of Mama’s physical therapists several years ago. I put that on my face where the sinuses are and within 15 minutes, I’m fine.

In fact, I use my essential oil blend for a lot of things. Headaches, earaches, arthritis. It’s also good as a fragrance dabbed behind the ears and on the throat.

That’s terrific how much it helps you, Lily! 😀

Broccoli soup and water. Rather boring when written, but it tasted very good.

I’ve been thinking about broccoli soup ever since you mentioned it, so I just made a large bowl of cream of broccoli soup. It was delicious! 😋 Thanks for the idea!

Now I’m going to go make a nice large mug of plain strong hot tea. It’s not supposed to get above freezing all day, so it’ll be sooooo nice. ❄️:snowman_with_snow: 🌬️

I had salad and water for lunch.

Mama’s going to have fish, Boost, V8 and water for supper. She had tomato soup for lunch.

I’m just having water for supper. The salad from lunch was very filling.
