Time for a snack

Even though my diet has widened to soft food, I have limits. Peanut butter is number one yummy snack.

I never appreciated food so much, not until good things were limited.

It still is slow going, but every day is one day closer to normal.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Food update

After having my post-operative appointment today I was given the go-ahead to add soft food to my diet.

Happy day! But I must take my time, chew a lot, and not eat too much at once. More tiny meals ahead of me

Celebrating today!

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Fixing a sweater pull

When I took off a favorite sweater I found two sweater pulls. Here are two solutions for this problem.

A crochet hook works for this kind of pull, also a needle threader. My extra suggestion is a floss threader for bridges.

Hopefully, I won’t catch any threads from this sweater again, but if I do I have all kinds of solutions to bring the yarn to the back, out of sight.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.

Cats again

This video drove me crazy in more ways than one.

I’m afraid it wouldn’t link here so you’ll have to click on it to see and hear what happened.

Unbeknownst to me, this was replaying on my computer over and over again.

I was in the kitchen by the window and kept looking out for the bird that had to be chirping on my porch. It sounded very familiar, just like my clock in the living room, but it wasn’t top of the hour, so no clock bird was chirping.

I started searching the house for this bird. Could it have gotten in when I was setting out birdseed on the front porch?

It must have been thirty minutes before I noticed the cat video was replaying with the bird chirping at the end.

I Gasslighted myself.

A peachy change

I continue with my liquid diet after my stomach operation. Today I added a tiny change.

I’m really getting bored with all the broth and liquids I am allowed to eat. This little bit of peach sauce made my day.

Hopefully, by next week mashed potatoes and other mushy food will also be allowed.

Until next time, that’s all there is from Sunnybook Farm.
