Still restless but keeping busy. Doing stuff on the computer and puttering around the house. If I keep myself busy enough I won't raid the fridge and pantry as much. Thankfully we didn't spend much on groceries this week, but next week we'll need more meat and veggies so that will be pricey. I've planned for cold meals for the weekend as it's going to get real hot.
I find that I'm happier doing the cooking and housework than I was writing or working on photographs. I find it odd. It may be with the kids moving out and us moving out eventually (please!!!!!) I'm now in a new groove. While I'll miss my daughter and probably do the "empty nest" thing I'm more like I can now do more of what we want as far as cooking and such without having to accommodate someone who has different tastes.
Speaking of that--kids' friend had interview today that went well. Daughter has interview and assessment tomorrow, and her boyfriend has interview with the bank on Friday. We'll lose his employee discount if he takes this job but I think we'll still be good for food. I hope it all works out for them. Four more weeks until they move out. Daughter thinks she can get her driver's license the end of August, but we have a funky maneuver test that's essentially parallel parking. We're bringing lasagna for after the move, but we don't have to help with the actual moving. I can see me hurting my back trying to get some of their stuff out.
And they've been eating a lot of pizza as of late, even though there's still leftover stir-fry and a container of spaghetti sauce in the freezer.
Mood is still good, though I worry about hypo at this point.
