My 4th of July was uneventful, but I was okay with it. John was in Cape Cod with his family, so it was just me, Bert and Lola. I was invited to a BBQ, but I can't be in the sun and even in the shade, it's just too hot with my wig. I also didn't really feel like being social. I bought a bunch of food and cooked all day. Cooking/baking is like therapy for me. I am on a healthy recipe kick right now. Some of them have turned out great like the eggplant lasagna in the previous post. Others have turned out crappy like the blueberry crisp I made that has 0 sugar. As much as I am trying to stay away from sugar right now, sometimes a recipe calls for it. So the animals and I watched a Real Housewives of New Jersey marathon, ate food and watched fireworks out my bedroom window.
What made me feel the best is all my friends who have checked in on me the past few days, knowing John was out of town. They offered to bring me food or keep me company and I was so touched. I have such a great support system. I have friends I haven't talked to in years who check in on me weekly, which is amazing. Although I am a bit more of a hermit this time around and not feeling as social, I still appreciate people checking in. It means so much to me. If you are reading this, you know who you are :)
