31 days until spring. The weather will be taking a sharp turn this weekend. Back to cold temperatures and s**w. At least the old ice and s**w will be gone by then.
Cousin #2 came for the last time yesterday. She said if she has time she will come and visit before she goes. Said goodbye to her little dog too. It was very sad.
Tried my first can of flavored sparkling water. It was horrible. I can't drink it. I have two more cases of different brands to try. I don't hold out much optimism in that department.
Still feeling down. Haven't played with my tablet, haven't read my magazines, haven't watched my recorded programs, haven't watched anymore of the Olympics...spend a lot of time wrapped up in my blanket with my eyes closed. I have several Discussions written up; but I haven't posted them either.
Breakfast - Granola bar
Lunch - Stouffer's Pot Roast - It was mostly potatoes. The beef that was in the gravy was nice and tender though.
Dessert/Snack - Nature's Bakery Brownie, low salt nuts
Dinner - Turkey/vegan cheese sandwich, no salt chips, black cherries
What did you eat yesterday?

Yeah, between missing my husband and cousin #2 leaving, it pretty much sucks.

Sorry..
. I know you will miss cousin number 2 and her dog. Maybe the two of you can face time each other when she is down there and you can say hi to the dog as well. I predict you will start to feel better when spring arrives.

Thanks. We will keep in touch. It's a combination of missing my husband and cousin #2 leaving.

Sad about the cousin leaving. When does the new lady start?
Stoufer's is a pretty good brand. I used to get stuffed peppers made by them. Very tasty.
I bet if you picked up one of your devices you'd feel better. Take care.

Hey, I hope you get over feeling so bad. I don't know if this might help or not but when I get to the point where I don't want to do anything I find one of my favorite shows or movies or something and put it one and slowly I start getting back to myself, Virtual hugs to you, I made my favorite cottage cheese casserole and placed two thick slices of bacon under the ingredients and it was so good,

Sorry to hear that you are still feeling down Linda
I don't know what to suggest.
But I do hope you perk up a bit soon.

I know you miss your husband, and it’s hard to see cousin #2 leave. With a smartphone you can at least FaceTime, which is a big plus. It’s not the same, I know, but hopefully, it can do something.
Please remember we love you, and while we don’t know what you’re going through, we are here to listen.

The usual for lunch, grilled cheese & chicken veggie soup for dinner. Yogurt and fiber and applesauce.

Pretty loves that sparkling water crap. I can't drink it. It's nasty!
I'm sorry you're still feeling down.
I ate a hot ham and cheese sandwich for breakfast, had beanie weenies for lunch and lasagna for supper last night. I'm out of fresh fruit. We need to go grocery shopping when I can see to drive.

It must be very difficult having cousin #2 leaving. Good-byes are never easy.
Hope you can shake the blahs
Last night we had chicken, sweet potatoes and broccoli.

You write your discussions ahead of time and then just post them when the time is right? I don’t think I’ve ever tried flavor sparkling water, but I do drink on occasion flavored seltzer. It’s usually pretty good.
