It's been a while...

Last week was rough. Missed like every appointment I had scheduled and if I didn't miss it, I was late. We were eating out or otherwise not eating real dinner most of the week too. I started out well, logging my food in the Lose It! app and eating carrots and shit, but it went downhill from there. I've been hella tired too. Luckily, it was spring break, so I didn't get behind in any classes. Troy made this boxed Alfredo thing that was not too great last night.
Tonight, we made chili as a family. Lilah helped me cut up the celery and onions, hub cooked the ground turkey, I spiced it up and Lilah dumped in all the canned items. Delish!

Fat Tuesday!

The original plan was to go out for dinner this evening, but there was only this one expensive place doing a buffet and this Cajun place that's not very good but would surely be packed. So I did some recipe hunting and did my own Mardi Gras dinner! I made a king cake, chicken étouffée, corn fritters and we are mixing up cheap hurricanes with Hawaiian punch and rum. Happy Mardi Gras!

Tuition Assistance...

... finally hit the bank account!
The plan is to pay off debts, purchase glasses and obtain something to work out on. There was an elliptical on sale at sears for a friggin' steal, so pending pickup, that part is done. (The theory behind this is that if it is staring me in the face, it will be easy to get on it every day.) Glasses are more complex, as I am very picky about how they look on me and I want to shop around since the damn insurance doesn't cover any of it. Debts are hub's repo, my credit card and an extremely past due daycare balance back home I keep forgetting about.
There are also some family members we sort of owe money to also, but two of the three parties have repeatedly said to not "worry about it" and in my book that means consider it a gift. The third party was going to get repaid, but due to recent events, that indirectly became classified as a "don't worry about it" also.
How ironic that on the night I actually got the money to pay my uncle back, his battle with cancer ended up taking a turn for the worse. Sadly to say, he is no longer with us, but I am confident that, when compared to how he was living his last days, his soul must have gone someplace better. Rest in peace, A-Bill, and thank you dearly for helping Troy and I out when we needed it.

Who's the smartest person you know?

Probably a tie between my dad and my daughter, proportionately by age of course... ;)
