I hope you moms out there had a good day yesterday.. Today hubby's cousin will be coming for about an hour after she picks up the groceries and prescriptions. I have been feeling lonely and depressed which isn't like me. Thank goodness for my friends here. Breakfast - Protein bar Lunch - Sausage gravy pot pie - It was only $1; but it wasn't very filling; and it had **420** calories! It was tiny.and mostly crust. Dessert/Snack - Chocolate chip muffin Dinner - PB&J sandwich What did you eat yesterday? What did you do for Mother's Day? Photo Credit: Pixabay

It's only natural that you would feel lonely and depressed after the loss of your decades-long husband and all that you've been through. Hang in there. We love you.

@LindaOHio There's one where my mother-in-law works. He's 81. Very wealthy. Very kind. I don't know what he looks like as I haven't met him. He keeps wanting to be her friend and bring her lunch but she keeps rejecting him. (She's 82).

She is knowledgeable about food and so @NJChicaa made me want to purchase regular potatoes with my other groceries, It also cost me less. I did and I baked a chicken drumstick with cut up potatoes and you know what? those roasted potatoes tasted so good I had forgotten what a regular potato tasted like I am happy about this decision,

I made a picnic so we had fried chicken, cucumber salad, deviled eggs, watermelon and split a little bag of chocolate chip cookies. Yesterday, was just about perfect weatherwise, just a tad on the warm side. It does help to have mylot for sure.

It was a nice day yesterday with a few surprises. I'm so sorry you're feeling lonely and depressed. Do try to accomplish just one thing each day. We had Chinese food last night. It was very good. Hadn't had it in a while.

I’m sorry you’re feeling down. I had chicken taco for lunch and BBQ chicken & taters for lunch. And fruit cocktail and yogurt and fiber!!

Most of the time I’m home and alone at that. And sometimes it gets to me. Especially when it’s very quiet.

I'm sorry you're a bit down at the moment. I suppose it's to be expected but knowing that doesn't help at all. Sending hugs and good wishes.

You should find a way to get out and comingle a bit. I know it's hard, but it might do you some good. For dinner, we spent the evening at my sister and brother-in-law's house to celebrate Mother's Day, and we had smoked pork steaks with some salads and tater tot casserole on the side. It was good times, good fun, and certainly good eats. But man, flowers cost a FORTUNE!

I’m certainly no purist or a food police person, but after I read the nutritional facts on these I nearly had the heart attack that a person could if they ate them very often. Nearly 900 grams of sodium? Seriously? And the list of ingredients is a mile long… I will pass on this one. Sorry for you that it wasn’t the great meal you were hoping for. I hope you can come up with some different meals for the days you don’t have your meals delivered. I’m sure you are tired of the same things over and over.

At times it is good to have friends around to talk to or spend time with.

I have had the sausage gravy pot pies, and I agree. You need something with it or it just does not fill you at all..

I am sorry that you feel down, you had a long marriage, and you were so busy that last year helping with so many things and taking on new duties. Yesterday we had a cold plate for lunch at our son's place and my husband made t-bone steaks, mushroom, baked potatoes and steamed asparagus for supper. Today was a long day at work for me, I am thankful to be finished and am trying to come up with something to make for supper tonight.
