Low Key Easter Weekend Recap
Y'all it almost happened. It seemed like it was almost a perfect carpet install. Then the dude grabbed a broom and swept all of the carpet on top, swept the floor, then swept the stairs going downstairs. Thanks for taking our clean carpet and giving it a fresh layer of unknown dust and dirt all over it. Then we looked when they left and saw a gap by the baseboard on the landing we weren't happy with and I know they had to have seen it so I fear shoe molding is in our future which we hate. The final "of course?" We had a TON left. Like enough to recarpet another set of stairs easily. Uh, why are you sending someone out to measure to give us a quote and we have enough left over to carpet another set of stairs and have enough of another piece for a big strip in front of the washer and dryer. This goes well beyond the "10% waste" they have you get. (It stretches 2/3 the length of our basement) So begins the process of trying...
I tend to eat less, just because I don't feel like eating when I'm sick, but I'm not as careful about what I do eat. I also drink a ton of juices so that probably makes my calorie total higher than it would otherwise be. I generally don't worry too much about tracking/counting for the worst couple of days, but once I round the bend I start in again.
ReplyDeleteI do change how I eat when I'm sick. Mostly because I'm put off eating entirely, but also because of the taste thing!
ReplyDeleteMy son and I have always said that you could make a fortune, if you could invent a "diet" pill that took away a person's sense of smell, cause then they could taste nothing. You might as well be eating spinach or broccoli, as meat and potatoes!
ReplyDeleteI do eat differently when I'm ill. About the only sickness I have is a biannual cold *knocks wood* which makes me crave smooth, cool foods like yogurt and hot spicy foods like chili. Since illness usually changes the way I exercise, I have to keep a watchful eye on both calories and nutrition to make sure I'm not over- or under-consuming.
ReplyDeleteI once knew a lady who, through some kind of illness, had no sense of taste at all, and she was very overweight. I was stymied. If I couldn't taste, I wouldn't be appetite driven. Mind you, I don't think I'd want to live with no sense of taste. But still.

ReplyDeleteIt depends what kind of sick. If its a cold or sore throat I do take advantaAndorra the situation and drink tons of hot chocolate and ice cream. So my calorie is actually higher when sick.
ReplyDeleteI do eat differently when I'm sick. Sometimes I don't want to eat, and sometimes I get so frustrated about not being able to taste anything that I'll try to eat something that I really want. It's normally a fail on my part because I can't even enjoy it. I do rely heavily on orange juice or hot tea.
