Tuesday, the first day back and recording again!
It rained buckets last night, and it's a little cooler today. A grey and overcast, yucky type, I'll stay in and sleep kind of day. I'm going to kick my self in the pants and get myself out for a walk, after I have a bowl of shredded wheat..lol!!
I just bought a box of weight watchers chocolate mini wheats at Big Lots, and I think I'll have a bowl. I've already had one cup of coffee, got that logged, and still in my jammies.
Never let anyone tell you that when you get your teeth pulled (all of them) that you will lose weight. Nonsense. I ended up going back to all that food that I had eliminated. Mashed potatoes, noodles, ramen noodles, bread, some processed things like velveta mac and cheese, mainly because it was soft, and I couldn't chew anything else. I was a little self conscious at first, going out without teeth, but I got over that.
I realized that it was just vanity, being seen toothless. It was partly my fault, but I had so much bone loss according to the dentist, that I really had to wait to get my plates, until I had healed at least 4 months. Now I have to deal with getting these things fitting right. I could write several journals on the trials and tribulations of getting your dentures to fit and not choke you to death when you are trying to eat a salad, and they decide that they are coming loose, despite the adhesive you have on them.....
I do rather enjoy the fact that I can now eat a salad without trying to add my tongue into it. I have bitten my bottom lip to the point that it hurt to just smooch the hubby. My tongue had gotten the same punishment, but now it is getting to the point that it just dances out of the way when those pieces of acrylic get to masticating!!!
On another track, anyone out there enjoying Ramps this spring?? The boy down the road seems to have found himself a nice patch that he has been jealously guarding the location of, and has been taking care of for the last 2 years. I'm proud that he doesn't over harvest it, and lets it propagate. The hubby is much dismayed, because I just bought a mess(bunch) of ramps from said boy. Can't beat getting a nice bag for $2. Cleaned and in a baggie...lol! The fridge smells horrid, even with them in 2 plastic freezer bags...lmao!
I plan on making them in bacon and spinach, to try to avoid the potatoes, but just may make them the way I grew up on, fried with bacon and sliced potatoes. I don't know yet. I just have to prepare to not have any affection from the hubs for about a week after consuming said delicacy!!
Well, I'm off to try to get my potato bin installed and some taters planted. I plan on canning them in pints for the hubby. He's also going to remake my garden bed, so I can get to it and tend it better. I'm a little rusty at adding links and pictures, so here is my attempt, and what it will resemble...
This one is 8 x 8, but mine will be 2 ft on each side, 2 ft walkway, 12 to 14 inches deep, 12 to 14 ft long, with the high fencing to repel the deer, and local feral cats,(which I feed, lol).
The link is to eartheasy.com. They have some nice beds, but I'll let the hubs build it.
Have a great day everyone, and keep up that great work!!
