A Productive Afternoon

United States
January 14, 2019 3:50pm CST
Good Afternoon Everyone! I feel accomplished today. I got quite a bit done this afternoon and I didn't even need a nap!! I paid bills I got a few things listed on Ebay to sell I finished a crocheting project I was working on (a baby afghan) mopped the floor Cleaned out a drawer in the kitchen that was too full with utensils Took the dogs out Put in an order at Walmart and will get free shipping It's a good feeling to sit now and relax a little. Chicken is baking in the oven and once it's done I'll cut it into small pieces for us to have tonight as a stir fry with all sorts of vegetables. At least one night a week (and hopefully two) we want to eat low carb with no starch (bread, rice, pasta or potatoes). I love potatoes and it's hard for me to give them up so I bargained with myself that I could do it once or twice a week. How was your day?

There's so many frustrations so many trying to pay bills and responsibilities. Today is certainly a peaceful day. I'm so blessed.

It's been a wonderful day, been busy getting my new bed set up that I got for a gift today. Don't know what we will be having for dinner as my husband has a toothache. Hope you enjoy your dinner.

I also love potatoes, but I have decided not to serve carbs with dinner, only lean meat (chicken or fish) and vegetables.

It was full with feeding critters, schooling, therapy for my grandson, his nutrition appointment, Lowe's for mudding to work on my cabin tomorrow, Store, more home schooling and minor night chores. I'm relaxing with a couple documentaries and then read before sleep. Have a great night.

We're having chicken for tea tonight too but it's just chicken in a jar of Indian Butter Chicken sauce. We'll just have it with rice i guess. And maybe beans so I can say we had some greens.

I do not want to give up spuds and probably wont as they are so cheap as well. You really got a ton done Marilyn. Great!! Day was average here. Got nothing much done at all.

We had chicken for supper tonight also. My husband made us a chicken stir-fry, we haven't had it in ages, and it was delicious.

Busy day. You deserve the rest. I love potatoes too. And they do seem to belong to some meals. But I am not missing them as much as I thought I would. I havent had any since before Christmas.

Glad to see you included decluttering one drawer among the many things you've done! We love potatoes, too, but eat them rarely and don't miss them much. I feel the same about bread. Give me fresh veggies and salads any day. Tonight we are having ribeye and a big salad.
