What I would like to change

I woke up early this morning, with a little bit of energy which I prompty spent on cleaning up the kitchen and straightening the great room. I then read the paper rather leisurely. I have been trying to focus on me and what I need but as usual I have been focusing on others instead and what I would change if I could.
I would not have the TV on at all if I had my way. A movie every so often would work for me, something that I picked out because I was interested in seeing it, not because it was what was available. Doug watches HGTV from the time we get home until he falls asleep in front of the TV and sleeps with the TV on all night sometimes. I would change that if I could, it isn't good for him and it certainly isn't good for me. It in fact is detrimental to the whole house to have that blasted thing on for so long every day. Of course I can see where he might think that it is soothing for him, as he used the television for company for a lot of his life before getting married, but I hate it. Truthfully, when the TV is on, it is hard for me to hear myself think and it is hard to not get sucked into whatever inane show is on. That is the nature of the beast, to co-opt all of the attention in the room.
Waah, waah, waah!! OK got that off my chest.
So today Doug wanted chicken. Chicken as you might know is not a vegetable and certainly shouldn't be eaten raw, but it is what he wanted. And he wanted it at World Buffet, a restaurant down the street from us. While I didn't agree with his choice, it is his choice to make not mine. Frankly, neither of us are enamored with the cold raw vegan food much since the "Chili incident" While I got away without throwing up, the stuff did a number on my insides. Between that and having an unstable back, I was easily led down the garden path to fast cooked food. So we went to the place, we had kim chee, seaweed salad, and horror of horrors!!!!- cooked vegetables (cabbage) Doug had an ounce of salmon and 2 ounces of chicken. I had some rice and a little bit of coconut shrimp. Neither one of us exploded or felt bad about our fall from grace. I chalked it up to being human and in a place of not feeling very motivated or creative.
After weighing in at 147 pounds this morning, Doug just wanted something that would stay in his tummy for a while and was warm to his tongue. He also bought an Annie's no cheese vegetable pizza which he consumed with relish (the enjoying kind, not the pickle kind) this afternoon. The food did make me more tired and I slept it off this afternoon, but I am back on the wagon tonight and no worse for wear I imagine. So there you have it a confession, within hours of the crime. I guess it wouldn't be so heinous if we didn't hear about how we were suppose to be learning how to not make cancer through diet every day. So hopefully, I won't wake up tomorrow morning struck fat by our walk on the wild side, if I do, I guess I will deal with it then.
