the_rckThe afternoon yesterday was laid back. Scott and Cordelia gave me seasons 4 and 5 of Leverage and season 1 of Batman Beyond. Scott and I went to the library around 4:00 and did a little Ingress while we were out.
Cordelia watched The Fellowship of the Ring and was very puzzled as to why people like it so much. She also was very annoyed by the lack of female characters. When Arwen showed up, Cordelia noted that this was the first female character of any note/with lines of dialogue.
On our way to Brighton, Scott took Whitmore Lake Road part of the way with the idea of avoiding construction. Then he decided to go back to 23 because it had looked clear from what he could see of it. That led us to driving through some very slow bits of construction. I'm not sure we actually avoided any construction by taking Whitmore Lake Road at all, so I'm not sure what the point was.
When I was thinking about the restaurant for the family gathering last night, I forgot that I'm under extra constraints in terms of food right now because of how much stress/anxiety I've been dealing with. I ended up with water and a very plain grilled salmon fillet (I dislike grilled food pretty strongly, but they said grilled or sauteed, and I couldn't have oil, butter, etc., so sauteing seemed like a terrible idea). It was very dry and tasted pretty much entirely of the grill even though it wasn't burned. I could have gotten vegetables, but the waiter said that 'vegetables' translated as 'green peppers, yellow peppers, and mushrooms,' so that wasn't going to work.
Basically, I can't have anything acidic or oily/greasy/creamy or garlicky or... No Alfredo sauce (the only non-tomato sauce they had). No cheese. No lettuce. (I have no clue why lettuce gives me reflux, but it does so about 60% of the time these days.)
We bought me a McDonald's vanilla milkshake on the way home. It was horrifically vile, pretty much the worst milkshake I have ever had, but I drank it anyway because I was starving and wasn't sure we'd get home in time for me to eat anything else (that pesky 8:00 deadline was looming). I had eight minutes when we got home but then couldn't find anything in the house that was safe. The new loaf of bread is dense and dry and not something I can swallow without margarine on it. I dumped our only can of hominy in the dirty sink while trying to drain it and had to throw it out. Scott had eaten all of the saltines and not replaced them because they're too great a temptation for him. I had a leftover pancake from the morning and ate a little before I realized that it was covered with cinnamon which is also currently a no-go thing for evenings.
I will test foods next weekend to see if I can start putting some things back into my evening diet. I just don't want to do it on a week night when I already don't have enough time to get the sleep I need.
I wasn't able to use my c-PAP for the whole night last night because part of my nose is inflamed and hurts terribly when anything touches it. I'm going to apply heat and see if that helps it resolve.
