She keeps making helpful suggestions that would work&#8230; if they were actually practical for me with my food issues and my life.  Example: suggesting eggs as a possible breakfast for someone who is allergic to eggs (which is on my chart) or making suggestions for stuff to cut up and take with me.  I can do things like ziploc snack bags of nuts for a snack but some of the meal plan stuff she gave me just left me incredibly hungry.  I get that a 1200 calorie diet would cause me to lose a boatload of weight quickly but that&#8217;s also not totally reasonable for me.  (<a href=\"http:\/\/fitday.com\" title=\"FitDay\">FitDay<\/a> has me at around 1500.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>If we were having coffee,<\/strong> I&#8217;d tell you that I&#8217;m bummed that the evil twin and his wife are now Washington-bound and how I&#8217;m secretly jealous because I&#8217;d love to live in the Pacific Northwest.  I hate heat so living in Sacramento is hideous from about late May to early October.  I&#8217;m also bummed because I was enjoying being close to family for a change.  Oh well&#8230; this is another excuse to get to Washington on vacation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>If we were having coffee,<\/strong> I&#8217;d tell you that Daniel was his normal self today and I could probably have sent him to preschool but I didn&#8217;t want him giving whatever he had to the other kids or getting something else while his immunity was down.  I also wish his ER doc had given him something that didn&#8217;t require improvising a mortar and pestle before dissolving it in 1 ml of water, and syringing it to him.
