Sorry about the movie post below. It's one of the few posts I am really not happy with, mainly because I wasn't really going anywhere with it. I got distracted and then I had to go make dinner, and I hit Publish when I should've waited. Oh well.
I had a sinus headache from hell all day today. It eased up around 4 this afternoon, after I got back from work. I looked at every sinus medication at CVS and just couldn't think what to get, if anything, so I didn't get anything. Usually Motrin works best for pain. So many sinus medications dry out the membranes and I don't need that. I like Sudafed but it's hard to find.
Frank left this morning. he took us out to a nice dinner last night, at one of my favorite places, McCormick & Schmick's. I had scallops wrapped in prosciuto - yum. Mother had fried oysters. Michael had a bowl of clam chowder. He loves it. The side dish with my meal was risotto. I liked the flavor but not the texture. Reminds me of lumpy undercooked rice. Ick.
I love rice, though. I buy jasmine rice and cook it in chicken or beef broth, with extra butter and onion powder. We had baked chicken tonight and I made rice and we had a big salad.
I was going to make the homemade manicotti tonight but Frank left. Oh well.
Frank said I looked better than he had seen me look in a long time. Keep in mind, he's known me since I was a baby. He's much like a brother to Mom, although there were some years there we lost touch. Anyway, I have thought about that a lot.
I think there are two reasons. One, I am gainfully employed. It's part-time, and not really stressful, most of the time. Two, my daughter is out of the house. I know that sounds awful, but it's true. With Michael there is almost no drama. He's a sweetie. With Alesia, I stayed stressed out constantly, worrying about her. I still pray for her multiple times a day, and worry a bit, but it's not an every day thing. One cyber friend who reads my blog said she was saying intercessory prayers for Alesia, which was awfully nice of her.
Franks's kids went through rebellious periods when they were young, but they are very nice, upstanding folks now. I take heart in that. I just pray Alesia learns her lessons...
