Thoughts

Lily needs to rest again she was exuberant when we had a visitor yesterday and her ankle is a little bit sore. I gave her a buffered aspirin. I have to resist attacking myself for her setbacks.

My ragweed allergies are so intense this time of year. If I don't take half an antihistamine twice a day I am doubled over in agony from the waterfall of gunk. At least I know how to help it.

I want morning energy to last all day. When it fades away late in the day I get crabby. I made a delicious dinner and had to eat alone. During the school year most of my meals are eaten alone.

I look forward to the kids getting home from school. They hang out at my gate and share candy. One kid was eating a honey bun. Imagine if his mother baked them fresh he would remember it forever.

Food memories are deep. My baking and cooking is a form of mothering. I am the mother raising myself. As a run away I had to start from scratch.
