Day 6 without social media | tired of meal planning

Thursday, 6/25/2026

Fed M his breakfast, changed his diaper, watched him play, and put him down for a nap.

Cleaned the kitchen and ran the dishwasher.

Groot is sick with diarrhea and was too tired to walk upstairs, so I had to carry him inside. When he walks, it looks like something is wrong with his back right leg; it seems to have lost power. Checked the leg but didn’t see anything abnormal. He is resting now.

I am feeling sleepy.

Groot had an accident on the carpet, and we didn’t know it until both M and I stepped on it. I spreaded baking soda on it, cleared the mess, scrubbed the stained spots with bleach wipes, and sprayed a pet odor and stain remover. I let it sit for 15 minutes, then vacuumed and hydro-mopped the area and the whole floor. The smell is better now but still strong; I will try using bleach tomorrow.

Sanitized the vacuum.

Cleaned the bathrooms.

Did two loads of laundry and dried them.

Fed M his lunch: shrimp, broccoli, shredded potatoes, and cherries, with a custard bun for dessert. Afterward, I changed his diaper, gave him a bath, watched him play, and put him down for a second nap.

Took the trash out.

Felt stressed because I didn’t know what to cook for dinner; meal planning takes up so much of my time and energy. Right after feeding M, cleaning him, and cleaning the kitchen, it is already time to think about the next meal.

There were shrimp, ground beef, and leftover chicken, as well as some zucchini and bell peppers. Instead of cooking for S and M separately, I decided to make a curry for both of them so I could use up all the ingredients.

Since M’s recommended salt intake should be half of an adult’s amount, I scooped some curry into a small pot, blended it, added milk, and thickened it with wheat flour. I added shredded shrimp on top because M loves textured food.

S took Groot to the vet for an X-ray but they found nothing. He’s having another X-ray again tomorrow and won’t be allowed to eat anything until then.

Fed M his dinner, then S played with him for a while, changed his diaper, put him in his pajamas, and put him to bed.

I had the curry too, and it was so good! Afterward, I cleaned the kitchen, put the dishes away, loaded the dishwasher, and ran it again.

The end.
