Helloooo 2019!

As expected we did NOTHING.  It was raining, humid, far too warm and generally a nasty night.  Hubby was my son's ride to-from a party to avoid Uber up-charges.  I stayed home and watched more of Call the Midwife (still excellent - 2nd season).

Oh, and confession because I'm an idiot (not really, but kind of really).  Let's begin at the beginning of my stupid.

I drove to Whole Foods to get a healthy dinner for NYE from the food bar.  I took down most of the decorations and was ready to relax.  I've eaten the Whole30 chili for the last billion meals (since Friday - true story) and needed something different.  I NEVER expected it to be crowded - 5 o'clock on a rainy Monday?!?!  I really wasn't thinking NYE.  Silly me!!  Whole Foods parking lot was a MESS.  I almost didn't go inside, but I drove all the way in the rain.  Why not go in ... stupid continues.

The food bar was picked over, mostly empty (hand to God, the only plentiful thing was the romaine lettuce).  Not even sushi at the sushi station!  I walked the store wondering aimlessly.  I actually laughed at myself because I looked the part of a sad cliche on NYE.  Sweat pants, no makeup, hair a mess from the rain, nothing in my cart.  Looking around with a sad face (where's my sushi??).

The lines everywhere - check-out, cake counter, meat counter.  Wow.  I left and drove to Publix.

My sweet, never-crowded Publix was hopping too.  OMG!  Really?!?!  I guess I never actually go out ANYWHERE NYE.  Unlike Whole Foods, there was a definite "type" at Publix.  Some sort of appetizer (shrimp or chips & dip), some sort of alcohol (wine, beer), no cart and a rush to get in line.

Here's the confession.  I was tired, deflated, out of ideas and annoyed.  I bought GF crackers, cheese and ice cream for hubby.  Went home, opened wine and that was dinner.  So much for my HEALTH is BACK declaration.  Hello buffering and all things not healthy.

The only good news is hubby finished the chili.  Onward and upward today.  I hope, I will, I must.

Happy New Year!!  Welcome 2019.  I'm ready for you ... later gators.
