Day 420: Yes, the hot cross buns were a success! Should have trusted myself with the white crosses on top, but pre-cooking they looked so terrible I left half without whereas cooked they were just as they should be. Oh well! If there are any left for tomorrow it will be nice to have them on Good Friday.
I am on a bit of a backwards slide diet wise, mostly due to stress eating. Its difficult to put into practise the knowledge that one 'should' find alternate ways of dealing with stress when one is in the middle of a stress attack! My father has decided he needs to go into a nursing home, which is another of these fine theoretical ideas but faced with the reality of course every factor involved is much more complicated. Because of his illness he is really incapable of any positive or optimistic though, so while its difficult to comprehend the scope of his thoughts at the moment I can only imagine its a dark place for him.
Anyway, will try to combat stress and eating with some time at the gym.
