longings

It was a fun morning at school, but we did get some work done too. It was a pretty busy and somewhat frustrating day at the office, trying to get information from the Board that they said they already had, but were unwilling to share. They kept saying they were going to send it, but then would turn around and say, we'll look at it at the meeting. Frustrating! Just before I left, they agreed to send it in the morning, so we'll see. I was determined not to take it home with me, and was fairly successful. I had prepared some soup yesterday, so came home and heated that up. B was just making some for himself so we sat down and ate together, which was nice. Then we talked about getting some more veggies and making a bigger pot of soup, using my allowed veggies, and both eating it. Good plan! So, we went out to the grocery store and picked up more broth and some veggies for the soup and some fruit for him to take on the road. That's when I started drooling at all the grapes, bananas, berries, apples, oranges, etc, etc. It's been less then a week and I am really missing fresh fruit....mmmmmm. I will partake again another time, but for now, will remind myself of the things I am learning in the meantime, in preparation for that. I can wait! Clinic tomorrow, which will give me more to think about again, more ideas and strategies. As an afterthought though, isn't it pretty amazing that I've craved fresh fruit and not chocolate, which I've had for a month for Halloween! Wohoo!!
