Day 3 Hunger strike in OKC

Today was a tiresome day because I had to exist on kid speed. We first went to the bank, toting my sign to deposit a 15.00 rebate check. Then off to the post office and the big Sam's club. Many samples to be had for anyone without my moral conviction and agenda, like the two little one's that shadowed me all day.

We had to plan dinners and snacks and some ahead planning for Thanksgiving and those two birthdays. We managed to get around the store, so crowded while I kept getting hit in the back of my scooter with shopping carts.

We got our milk, socks, snacks and returned home noticing gas is almost as high as milk! Later we searched for boots but my energy ran low and again we went home. Kids, Warren and his hired worker ate and I sat and enjoyed the last of my chicken broth.

In the kitchen in a pot, my next batch of brew was making everyone hungry but for dinner instead we had zitti and roasted chicken which is my favorite. For dessert I made a cake with sliced almonds. While family and the worker, Tim, who was asked to stay for dinner, ate the delicious cake, I enjoyed my cup of Earl Grey.

I have not hit Ketosis which means I am using the stored stuff without harming myself.

Kids finally stopped asking me to eat what they are not willing or interested in eating like the olives before dinner they sampled on the hour'derv tray. They were my guinea pigs for next saturday's movie snacks. Less olives mom, please!

Oddly enough, I have energy if I go slow, I am not drained and I am not bitchy yet but know it will be there. I returned to reading my Budhism for Dummies seeking inspiration.

My photographer Lia refused to take a photo of me dancing to the song, "dancing with myself" which brought back many funny memories. Her only request was "mom, go in the house, people might see you and you are embarrassing me". Dont hesistate to ask me to do the dance in front of her next time you see me!
