    May 18-22 Menu

    I go through phases where I just don’t feel motivated to plan, cook, plan to cook…well you get the point.

The doctor asked if he was walking and climbing and going all over the place. I told him he wasn’t walking yet. I said that he was just taking 3 or 4 steps here or there. He said well that’s walking:-) I was like well he’s not walking across the room yet. He said not to worry and that he’ll be walking very soon. I guess he could tell by the…
