I could really go for some simplicity right now. I haven’t been able to devote much time to what I had intended to be a simple daily schedule becuase life has been complicated by my mother-in-law’s backache which over the course of a month became a diagnosis of a compressed vertebra which then collapsed and then got treated with an injection of bone cement which entailed an unexpected two night hospital stay. We just brought her home yeaterday and spent the rest of the day there. We will be heading back up shortly with some ginger creams that my husband is baking becuase we are trying to give her tempting things to eat to help gain back the weight she lost while dealing with the back pain. She is pretty lightweight to start with, so Ensure Plus and as many calorie dense things as we can come up with are in order, as her appetite is also tiny.
Maybe this is simplicity though. Take care of what has been presented to us this day. Drop everything else.
Simple.

I wish I would have read this before I posted my SoCS response. Your post reminded me of an acronym that I’ve used over and over again. It essentially means that you shouldn’t over complicate things. The acronym is K.I.S.S., alternatively known as the KISS Principle. KISS stands for Keep it Simple, Stupid. So yes, I do hope you can keep it simple. And I do hope your mother-in-law is doing better.

Thanks! I admit that the simplicity is easier to deal with if it is a choice rather than precipitated by crisis…

Oh dear! Best wishes for a speedy recovery to your mother-in-law!
By the way, one bagel is equivalent to four slices of bread. Great for weight gain. 🙂

Thanks, Linda. I’d love to be able to get her to eat a bagel, but she couldn’t even handle the crust on bread at lunch today.

It’s tough, isn’t it? Hopefully the Ensure will work. It’s easy to digest.

Simplicity in the midst of required tasks is so hard. Hope your mother-in-law is feeling better. (Ginger creams sound luscious!)

Ginger creams are wonderful! The recovery is having a few bumps, but we have a couple of doctor appointments over the next two days, so help is on the way.
