Finding My Way Bro

Sorry it took so long to send you the info to get into this place. There was a huge windstorm
in the desert and it feels like there has been one in my life. Anyway, Mr. G. came to the desert
this week and I showed him my favorite Israeli restaurant. He and his wife ate hummus with shawarma and Israeli salad and portabella mushrooms. The shawarma is made with turkey so it
really isn't so bad.
Before we went to eat we talked about my desire to change careers. He said he will help mentor
me as I attempt to leave my present career in education go back to food service. I realized that working with food had been my original choice of careers and that I didn't give it enough of a chance. I got all the way to having my own little kitchen and it was in South Coast Plaza, but after that I went no further. I got out of food service even after all I did to get that far. Maybe that was a mistake. Either way, I think maybe I am older and stronger now and I can go back to that career. Maybe I can build a career on that. We both know how much I love food, to a fault.

Wild Bird Visits & High Blood Pressure

After we agreed to blog about our weight loss attempts, I went out to see a woodpecker pecking away at my outside wall or his outside wall. I put seed out for the birds after that. I went
to the grocery today and bought meat with high sodium which I know is wrong. That's the first thing I want to do better about--high blood pressure. I know that one is the worst for diabetes. Nature out here in the desert really is good for my blood pressure. Mary
