“Food” is quite possibly the most diabolical prompt ever offered in this wasteland between Thanksgiving and the winter holidays. Well played, Linda.
Food is…tricky right now.
Thanksgiving brought a mind boggling combination of both too much and too little food. Too much of some, too little of others anyway. Coming out the other side always requires a reset on food behavior but that reset has been challenging.
I’m not cooking, I’m barely food prepping, and now we’re in the throes of December. Who’s got the emotional fortitude let alone — I don’t even know what the rest of that sentence is supposed to be. Things are just A Whole Freaking Lot.
Resetting my food stuff feels unwieldy at the moment. Let’s see where we go from here.
Linda hosts Stream of Consciousness Saturday. This week’s prompt is “food.” Use it any way you’d like. Have fun!

‘Let’s see where we go from here’ has become my mantra for the foreseeable future. What else can we do?

This is a solid mantra. I’m trying to shore up my coping mechanisms before we get too far into 2025.

I get it. After being sick over Thanksgiving, I barely had an appetite for several days and then when I did, I engaged with a friend and DoorDash, and food delivery. I’m finally getting to the point where I only want healthier foods and soups, and need to make time for the food prep.

It’s a commitment, one that usually slips in the Thanksgiving hubbub. Glad to hear you’re getting your feet under you food-wise.
