Here I am, at 7:30 AM, making rice pudding for my friend. LOL. I visited her yesterday and she sent a pan of cooked rice home with me so I could make her some rice pudding since she doesn't have a recipe. So I'm working on that project right now. Carl also wanted a pan since I was at it, so I have two pans going and dishes being washed in between as I can clean them up, and my counter is a mess at the same time with all my supplies sitting there waiting for me to use them on my next pan. My friend sent me too much rice for one pan, so I have to make a second pan of rice pudding to finish off her rice. So I'll be busy for another hour or so working on that project. I don't mind though. Its not hard to make. Otherwise I have some laundry to finish up today. My home health aide comes later so we'll get the rest of the house done, minus Ethan's room. If he doesn't clean it, I won't go in and mop the floor. Though, he will have his room clean by the end of the week for certain! My friend  that I'm making the rice pudding for invited me over for part of the weekend....from Thursday to Saturday I am figuring on. I have ot talk to Carl though, cuz initially I was leaving Friday, not Thursday, but she (my friend) wants me to go out with her for a couple hours or so Thursday night since she doesn't work but does again Friday night, so I have yet to talk to Carl. Just waiting to find a good time. Then I have my binge eating disorder assessment in TEN DAYS! ACK! I'm nervous as heck about giving up my vice that has sustained me, well, slowlly killed me, over the years. I am, however, looking forward to eating to live, not living to eat! That'll be a day I can't wait to see! I know I'll have good and bad days. I backed down on my treadmill workouts. I'm only walking half a mile for now cuz I'm struggling so much to get myself to do that mile. So I  back down to half a mile for now, 4-5 days a week is my goal. I'll increased by 1/4 of a mile each week as I accomplish my first goal I set out to do. Today, so far, is going well, and for that I am truly glad! That's about it for my end of the world. LOL.
