Well, fairwell and adidu 12 hour shifts... Today is the last time we meet, and I'm sad we'll not have the chance to do this again in this place. Not looking forward to swapping to 8 hours, the whole 5 day a week thing kinda scares me. I haven't worked 5 days a week in just about 7.5 years.
The upsides are that I get paid an extra 4 hours/week, and that I no longer have to worry about babysitting. I can put dinner on the table, and we can actually eat like a family. I can put the kidlet to bed to sleep, and the odds are fair that he'll still be sleeping, or be just woken up when I get home.
The downs are that I'll never really sleep again. My weekends off are gonna be me recuperating, and I'm not 100% thrilled about it. Hubbs and I don't like sleeping separately all the time. Oh well, I s'pose we're gonna have to deal with it.
Could be worse. At least I still have a job. Gotta look for the high points in all situations.
Dinner tonight is gonna be steak (pan fried) and mushrooms. I'm a little high on my carbs today, but I think it'll be okay. I'm thinking mushrooms have 1 carb but 1 fiber, so it should cancel itself out, and I can have my steak with some mayo or something (I'm low on fat and protein today.)
Ok, time for me to dash, Dinner to make and gotta get ready for work.

Weaning a stubborn baby, and other stream of consciousness nonsense
Kidlet is sleeping now in my room thanks to the early heat wave. No biggie, odds are he'll be back in his own bed tomorrow. I'm just hoping that tomorrow he will be feeling more up to trying a little formula. He really doesn't seem to like it at all. Never have I thought a little guy could spit so much so far.
I'm thinking I'll just keep cutting it with the good stuff (mom juice) till he's drinking it alone. Worst case, he'll get hungry enough to eat it, but he is stubborn like me and hubbs. Here's hoping for the best.
Also, bought some bacon spread from woot. Looks like 3g carbs/serving, which should be okay as a treat.
First day was okay food-wise, but now I have a mild headache and either munches or boredom. Gotta train the mind to be able to figure it out again. I really let myself go this time. I just love to eat in the worst way. I s'pose that if carbs are really addicting, I'm 100% an addict. Yeah, I'm craving snacks that I really don't need, and I know I need to avoid them like the plague. I don't want to end up diabetic because I eat like a cow, ya know? Been there, done that, and not wanting to have to do it again. I figure that once I'm ketotic, the physical cravings will slow, just the psychological ones will remain.
Food addiction. Geesh, who'd ever think I'd climb on that bandwagon? Problem is that it kinda makes sense. I seem to fit in all the columns for addiction. Seriously, even the scary ones that make people go for the interventions on tv and stuff. Something about the journeys starting with a single step or something like that.
Beddy bye time for me, kidlet will be up in 4 hours, give or take, and I have work tomorrow.

Hello! Itsa me again.
Heyas folkies.
Figured I needed to start something for myself again. Since I last blogged (that'd be Cashew Writes!, which is now defunct, and should be getting shut down shortly) I've done some interesting things that'd be fun to share. I've had the cutest baby in the world about 6 months ago, moved to a nicer apartment in a nicer neighborhood, and as of a week from now, will be changing shifts working to a more traditional work week. (still overnights though. Suckage.)
Currently, I've started a new diet very recently (just finished day 1)... I have an iPad that I use constantly, I love brushes and draw something, so posting pictures is a definite (did I mention that beautiful little boy I call my own?)
Still cooking gluten free, but eating LCHF myself now. Hubbs is a calorie counter. Thankfully the LCHF tends to go well with GF, but I'm going to eat clean as often as I can.
Okay, now, I'm off to investigate a decent app to blog with off the iPad... I usually have that with me more than I tend to sit at the computer lately.
