Shew - Saturday!

This Saturday arrived with a need for REST. New routines are challenging. Stacia spent the day in her room with her textbooks and papers. She made great progress. 

FARKLE!!!! Yes, the highlight of MY day was Nolan coming over and playing Farkle with he and Stacia. BTW, that star on the score - it's mine. I won. 

It has been the routine for the girls to go over and play a video game with Alex and Nolan every Wednesday.  On Friday nights those four and often Jamin and Jared have been meeting at our home where we are working through the Marvel movies in ORDER preparing for the release of Doomsday. There is hope that I'll have a clue what is happening if we do this. Since our trip, Allie absconding         and Stacia going back to college too.... things have been topsy turvy. We opted to try Saturday night for Marvel this week. 

Michael threw the plans into disarray. He woke up with a small rash. I insisted on seeing it. No blisters but it reminded me of GG's shingles. I knew the key is to go in immediately and start on drugs. That is supposed to help with a lighter case IF you go in immediately. Poor Michael. The knee and hip continue to hurt and now shingles. Jamin and Jared opted not to come over. LOL 

I was glad Nolan decided to come over anyway. We haven't seen him since the day we left on our trip - August 9th, I believe. 

The other highlight of the day was in the kitchen. I made a yummy dinner which used 3 zucchini's and totally fit within my bright line eating plan... 

I was weary of crunching my way through 8 oz of salad and a 6 oz veggie at dinner. This was a protein, veggie and fat serving all in one and I added a salad and felt normal.
