It has been a while since I’ve posted!  Mom has been in quite a lot of pain, so between care-taking and a crazy work week I have barely had time to think.

In the hospital I was able to have oatmeal from breakfast, but it was a little… well, it tasted like hospital food. 🙂  Their lunchtime salad bar was lacking too, so I made a quick trip out to Whole Foods for provisions on day 2.

I also picked up some chicken soup for mom (canned hospital salt broth wasn’t cutting it).

We are finally home now.  I have a whole new appreciation for a real bed, food, showers, and exercise (in that order).

Sitting around all day makes me want to run.  I don’t feel comfortable leaving mom alone at the house, so I settled for P90X.  It felt amazing to moooove!!!

Mom has been craving that Roasted Banana-Rum Raisin Bread.  I’ve eaten it plain, heated it in the microwave with peanut butter, crumbled to top a smoothie, and toasted it with ice cream and chocolate syrup.  Tonight I want to toast it in the oven with powdered sugar.

You know that Texas Pete hot sauce commercial where the old lady says “I put that shit on everything”?  That’s how we are with this bread.  🙂

For breakfast today Mom wanted eggs and bacon.  She had heard on The Dr.’s that Jennie O-Turkey Bacon is good.  So I tried it.

The Dr.’s were wrong.  At least the dog likes it…

I was smart elected to finish off some pumpkin we had in the fridge. I made a little breakfast bowl.

In my bowl:

• Greek yogurt
• Pumpkin puree
• Kashi Warm Cinnamon Heart-to-Heart Cereal (YUM!)
• Fiber One
• Cinnamon
• Nutmeg

Breakfast bowls are awesome for someone like me who gets too excited about breakfast and can’t decide what sounds best.  This way I get a little last of everything! 

Sans the fake bacon.

Today I’m going to leave mom’s house for the first time for a quick grocery trip!  I love the grocery store. *swoon*

I’m in the mood to BAKE!

If anyone knows of a good non-pig bacon, I’d love to hear about it.
