Our big snow storm is starting so Leo is getting ready to go to the grocery store. I can't go as my diet caused me to get a flare up of my gout. Its the pits. Now I have to plan a different diet and this one was working so well. I should have know but they put a lot of soy in the meals and there is beef and I haven't eaten any red meat for a few years... Its not on the gout diet my doctor gave me but I figured I would give it a try anyway since I have not had any problems for a long time and I was only going to eat a little. I thought wrong....... Now I can't walk and Leo has to get my things for me at the store... I hope he follows my list to a T or we will have food in the house neither one of us can eat. Its hard to plan a diet without meat, fish, cheese, or beans, but Im going to try. I can have eggs and cottage chees and once a week chicken or bacon if cooked the right way. Not supposed to lose weight too fast either and must drink lots of water... Im going to give it my best. We shall see.
We are supposed to get a "lot" of snow today and tomorrow, the kind where you have to wait for the plow to go through or you stay home. Maybe I will get some pictures tomorrow and put them up for you to see... I have a good book and my knitting and some old movies to watch so thats what I will be doing. My housework is pretty much taken care of so that won't be a problem. Leo will vacuum. I gave him that job a few weeks ago already... He likes a clean carpet so that is a good job for him, lol We must share things, right? :>) Something tells me I will be more than happy to do it though as soon as I can walk without the pain in my toe. I do have some pain pills for gout that help sometimes though. :)
Hope everyone is finding this day good and the sun is shinning for you, Sandra

Sorry about your flare up with gout. My brother suffers from that too. And..stay warm. LOL> It's not likely you'll be running around. Good luck with our diet.

Good morning! I sure hope you feel better soon and that Leo gets the right food. Why is it that you spend more money on food when you are on a special diet? Have you ever noticed that? Hubby is dieting. You would think that the grocery bill would be less, but no. Ours was astronomical yesterday!
Be safe and warm with all that snow. Pictures are always fun. No hurry though. But we will certainly enjoy them....at least I will since I'm from TN and we don't get it much.
I'd like to have a snow day though where it was too bad to go to work - LOL!

I have faith in you. I know you'll get back on track and begin to feel better. Hopefully Leo will get everything you need before the snow hits. We are only going to have rain and maybe a few flurries Sunday morning.
If you email the types of foods you can have on your diet, I will check through my recipes and see what I have that's good. I have to be very strict on mine as well but our diets are different. You never know, I might have something that will work.
Stay warm and only get up long enough to get some great snow pics for all of us in the south.
Oh I don't miss that snow at all!!! It was 66 here today, thank goodness. Stay warm... sounds like you have a good plan for tomorrow. What are you reading? I just got a new book to read called A Window across the river, that I can't wait to start. Have a great weekend! Pamela
I hope you got all your groceries that you needed. I know the menfolk sometimes get confused in the grocery stores. I got some big bags of various bird seeds and then stopped at Fleet Farm and got cat food and a big pile of new magazines. I think I got there right after they stocked the shelves with new ones and I couldn't resist. I'm going in to work tomorrow morning as the lady that is suppposed to be the receptionist is worried about driving. I live so close and Tom will drive me in and it's only 7 to 11 a.m. It will be sort of fun to hear everyone's snow stories when they come in for classes or whatever. I'll be the only worker in my dept. so it will be nice and lowkey ;)
