Cocooning Pleasures & Fears

Pip and Tabs are rough housing as I type this. They are bathed and in fresh jammies and demanding “ice cream!” Mist is busy doing homework and Peter is resting with a “headache.”
We are rearranging all our bed rooms–Pip and Tabs will share and Mist will move upstairs into her original room which is now Pip’s. This is to make way for Peter’s “man pad.” It will be a room for Peter to escape to and do his “man” things (ie sleep, snooze, watch movies, stare at his computer–don’t tell him you read that here!). He seems excited about the prospects. The girls are excited because the rooms are getting new paint and new hardwood floors.
Slowly getting my groove back on. Even considering Silverstar this opening weekend to ski/board.
I have wandered, perhaps floated into semi-sleepy cocoon like phase the last few days. I just want to stay home, watch old movies and sleep. It is a fine state, however, if one gets too comfortable retreating from the world, trying to get back into it creates a most unpleasant shock to the system. That is why I allow 2 days of cocooning max before I force myself back on the horse–fear, I guess, that I may just never want to ride again!
I feel ill tonight as I dipped my Japanese breaded chicken in canola oil before I baked it–too much fat! I cannot digest fat. I feel sick. I am determined though, to continue my 7 suppers for seven days–each day a different cultural food and each day very nutritious. I did learn however, that next week the chicken will NOT be pre-dipped in canola oil.
