Yesterday was a bit difficult emotionally. I missed my grandparents and daddy so much as I always do each holiday season. I miss them year round, but the holidays can be times of deep grief and feelings of loss. Having my DH's family and my son here helped, but once the crowds dispersed I was left with the empty house and another layer of the onion to peel. Today is better, just watching travel shows and sipping my coffee.

I did overeat yesterday... cottage cheese with leftover hummus mixed in followed by reflux... lunch of leftover lunchmeat rolled around sliced cheeses... then off to WingStop for a box of 20 wings half lemon pepper half garlic parmesan. Oh and there were the green bean leftovers as well. At least one serving of vegetables crossed my lips.

I have much to do today... grading papers, writing lesson plans, planning tomorrow's SMART technology presentation... working on laundry now as my DH sleeps in the next room.

I called my son yesterday to find that he had just totalled his dirt bike. It was devastating to him as the bike was last possession he had managed to not yet sell in his financially challenging bout with unemployment. 20 has not been kind to him. I hear it's about the toughest age a young man endures, and if his struggles are any indication I would say so. My main concern was of course for his health, was he injured. He says his neck hurts. I pray he didn't do anything stupid last night to compound his woes.

Breakfast was a bowl of cottage cheese. Lunch a ham and turkey lowcarb wrap. I'm thinking spaghetti squash and Italian sauce for supper.
