I was feeling chaotic this week. When I wrote it all down, all the things I had to do, it seemed like Not Very Much. But when it was swirling around in my head, it felt like So Much. It felt Huge.
I had So Many things to do. And I think the biggest issue was that some of the things had firm dates and times when they needed to happen but other of the things had to happen but could happen at any time. And how do you work with that? How do you make a plan? It was like this huge puzzle that had any number of possible solutions. How to choose the best, most efficient solution?
I don't know if you know this about me, but I am not very good at switching course. I plan. And when things don't go according to plan, I don't like it. I try to be ok with change. Change is inevitable, after all. I try to be flexible. I try to go with the flow. But I am not good at it.
And not feeling able to make a plan at all? That is the worst.
That's, um, kind of why I plan meals.
I'm feeling better now, because those few busy days are behind me. All of the things, the things that had a specific day and time, the things that had a specific day but not time, and the things that had neither a day nor a time, all of those things happened. And it turned out ok. So I'm better. But not 100% better because I don't sleep well under certain conditions that are now in effect.
So, hey. Here's the meal plan for the week.
- Fend for yourself
- Tacos
- Pizza
- Nachos or leftovers
- Spaghetti with sauce, garlic bread, carrots
- Out to eat
- Hot dogs and brats?, miscellaneous veggies from the fridge?
- Ice cream sandwiches (using these cookies)
- Italian cauliflower salad
