Eat whatever the hell they like!
And sometime they even cook it themselves.
Or is that bake it? Is there a difference?
Anyway here's what we 'made".
One dozen delicious, banana, chocolate chip muffins!
In the oven!
To go!
I don't know if I'll ever learn the lesson for good, but I'm working on it. What lesson you ask? The lesson that with any child, you get out exactly what you put in!! While I think it's undeniable that in each and every one of us there is a genetic factor at the play, I am convinced it is a minuscule one compared to the nurture part of the equation. I love you Colby!!
I'm feeling a bit better today but still quite tired, despite it being an easy day. I hate to admit it but I'm just a little sore, here and there, from our winter snow escapades. You can do all you want for your heart, lungs and muscles, but beyond trying to maintain a good diet, there is little you can do to slow down the deterioration of all the bits in between. Things like tendons, ligaments, meniscus etc.
I'm also having major problems sleeping as of late, due to the chronic dry mouth bullshit. I wake up at least every hour, and every time I have a decision to make. You see, the first swallow of anything immediately after waking, provides a major jolt of pain. Not that it's a big deal in itself, but the blast of adrenalin I get with that swallow tends to bring me fully awake. It's kinda like jumping in the swimming pool 8 times per night! The alternative is to roll back over without a drink. Sometimes I manage to fall back to sleep, but it never lasts long. Neither decision brings much satisfaction.
So I went to the doctor yesterday and ordered this disgusting Xylocaine shit that I used back in the recovery days. While it indeed has a very unpleasant taste and texture, it does have quite a good numbing effect. Maybe that will help get me through the nights. I also got a referral to the local ENT (that's an ear nose throat guy, not a Tolkien character) to see what they may be able to do to help my swallowing. I'm looking forward to that, if not for any other reason than that he is the same guy that originally diagnosed me 6 years ago, and who I have not seen since. I'll be able to thank him!!
That's it. I'm taking Elly's advice now(there's a first time for everything :), and going for a walk. She says that's good for me.
