Did you remember to set your clocks back last night? I'm so looking forward to it getting dark at 5 pm.....not!
Cousin #3 finally made it over at 12:15 yesterday and stayed for 2 hours. She said that she's been working overtime to pay for a new washer and stove and that the only time she will be able to come over will be on Saturdays. I am still looking for a replacement for cousin #2.
Found a meal delivery service that had Mediterranean food (the preferred kidney disease diet); but they wanted over $13 per meal!!!!
Breakfast - Oatmeal bar
Lunch - Turkey/vegan cheese sandwich, veggie straws, yogurt
Dessert/Snack - Apple cinnamon fig bar
Dinner - PB&J, veggie straws
What did you eat yesterday?

@LindaOHio I hope so because cousin #3 is of very little help.

It's very frustrating. I'm hoping my doctor comes through with those two ladies.

@RasmaSandra So annoying. They tell you everything about the meals except for the sodium content which is very important for my diet.

I hope you can make it. Looks like there is one on that list that's affordable. I will try them. Thank you very much.

I didn't do it, and I just remembered the time change now. I was wondering why the Kindle and the clock were showing different times..Duh!

I forgot to change our clocks last night but did it at 4 am today. (I was reading on my phone when I saw it change the time around 2 am.)
At least you can get regular Meals on Wheels delivered to you. I checked and they aren't available here. Our city is too small for that.
Have you looked in the freezer section at your local Walmart? Our Walmart has some really good Mediterranean veggies. But it's just veggies, no meat with them. I buy packages of those and then make chicken or a hamburger patty for a meal. YUM!
I finished off the turkey salad for breakfast yesterday, had a slice of all-meat pizza for lunch and ate a couple of Tootsie Rolls for dessert. I know I ate something last night but don't remember what it was.

@LindaOHio Then don't eat those things. 
I still go ahead and eat whatever but in moderation. The doctor said bad things are okay-ish as long as you don't eat them in excess. She'd rather I eat then not eat.

@DaddyEvil It would be a tremendous waste of food to not eat what is served. Sometimes the entire meal is off limits. I am still searching for a substitute but not having any luck.

Meals on Wheels is nice; but they serve a lot of things I'm not supposed to have. There lies the problem. I've checked every frozen meal that Walmart has. Too high in sodium. I could buy some chicken patties if they aren't too high in fat or processed ingredients.

Yum that sounds so good. It's 8:30 am and I'm hungry. I'm going to finish the Notifications and then I'm going to eat. I'll do the Discussions later.

@porwest I'm a typical old person. I like to eat dinner at 4 pm. It's especially helpful if we are going to a restaurant because they start filling up after that.

If I was closer I would cook and shop for you. I am glad you do have some help, though.

You are a sweetheart. I need to replace cousin #2 ASAP as she is leaving in December. I need someone to pick up my grocery order, make sandwiches and take out the trash every Monday.

Yeah... dark at 5pm... no one wants that unless it's ole JJ.
I'm at Juanita's again this weekend so I haven't changed MY clocks, just the clock radio in 'my' room here. Of course, my phone and laptop have already done it for me. Guess I'll have to change the time on her stove and microwave for her.

I haven't had the cousins change my stove and microwave. Just the clock in the living room where I spend my time. Days will start getting longer again in December. Yay!

@LindaOHio my stove doesn’t have one. My microwave gets unplugged constantly to plug other things in like the keurig and toaster and coffee bean grinder so I never set that clock.

For $13 a meal I want Paul McCartney to deliver it and sing to me while I eat!!!!
I had the chicken & cheese-stuffed baked potato for lunch. I had a free coupon and they said they didn’t want me to “waste” the money (it was good for $15), so they gave me another chicken & cheese baked potato to take home for dinner!!! And the usual applesauce and yogurt.

That was nice of them to give you an extra potato. For $13 I will take Barry Gibb to sing me the Bee Gees catalog.

I'm so glad to have gained the extra hour even though it is dark by 6.

That's good she came over and now you know what's been going on. Sorry the meal delivery thing is so expensive.

Way too expensive. I don't see how anyone can afford that.

I never understood the need to switch the clocks. Not a fan. I know that some states don’t even follow this, like Arizona for example.

I wish they would keep it so that we get that extra hour of daylight in the evening.
