I talked with Sean on the phone yesterday and I explained to him what I was doing. I had just gotten out of bed and I was taking my morning vitamins and drinking my shake while I was praying. I told him that I was going to eat my lunch shortly which is overnight oats and he told me that my life is extremely, “Routine.” I agreed with him and said, “Absolutely! But I’m okay with that.”
I really appreciate that I am totally fine with how my life has been playing out in terms of my abilities. Of course, I would LOVE to NOT have MS but my Mom and I are working well together and I am just going with it!
I was thinking specifically about my life being routine because it has been for the last few years. I think it must have been three years ago where I started drinking a shake for breakfast because it was easier for me.
What I found is that drinking my nutrition in the morning was better for me instead of eating them because it takes too long to digest. It was probably about two years ago when I started drinking both my breakfast and lunch and would just have a limited list of food for dinner.
So, I place an order from Target when I get paid each month. Among a few medical supplies, I order three boxes of Atkins shakes. Well, last month, when my Mom opened up the box, they gave me the wrong kind! They gave me one box of milk chocolate and not dark chocolate which is what I have been drinking for a long while now. I remember posting this picture on Twitter back when I used to watch GMFB and when Nate Burleson was still on the show:
I searched through tons of pictures in my blog to find it. And this morning, I took a picture of the shake I drank today because I wanted to compare the two:
Now, I will be drinking these for the next eight days because you know that my Mama did not raise no fool! I emailed Target when I realized That part of my order was wrong and I got the immediate response of, “Throw it out, donate, recycle it“ and they let me keep it so you know I am drinking it because it is free!!!
