Super Bowl Sunday is coming

The super bowl is coming on February 12. I don't really care about either teams that are playing this year. The KC Chiefs and the Philadelphia Eagles. I do usually like to make delicious snacks and cocktails though. I can't do the cocktails anymore with my diabetes, but I can still make some yummy snacks. I'll give a few of both cocktails and snacks up until the 12th. Today is a cocktail I made the last time the Eagles were in the Super Bowl and it will make you want to "fly, eagles fly" LOl! I actually made this one up with some things we had lying around. It's simple but decadent. Simply decadent. I call it a cherry rum float. You start with 1.5 oz of dark rum, I like Kraken dark rum, but there are many good brands out there, then fill with cherry coke and top off with one or two scoops of cherry chocolate chip ice cream (add to taste) You can use a pint glass or any fancy glass about that size. Add a straw and maybe a spoon for some of the yummy ice cream as well. its a great treat for the game and makes the commercials all that more entertaining.

February is hard. It's only the 3rd. Writing a blog has been helpful. I like having projects. I've been sending so many resumes and I just feel the walls closing in lately. Trying to keep myself motivated and not let the depression sink in. I know that I have a lot to offer, just not necessarily in a traditional way. but I've done a lot of things and worn many hats.I know that I could do anything if I could just get a chance. I also worry about if I'm physically ready to start a new career? I think at this point I just have to do it. Aand we have to move at the end of march when our lease is up. It's all just a lot. I'm trying to keep my head in the game with a surly, grumpy teen. I joke. He is surly, but he is also awesome and trying to do the things he needs to do become more independent. he has gotten so much better at communicating his needs and his feelings. I'm very proud of my son and still a little in shock about how he turned 18 so fast. We don't have the normal milestones with Autism/adhd but I treasure all the little things. I enjoy the things that make Keenan, Keenan. Some days it takes a lot of patience and making sure that we can keep things on an even keel. Some days it's not easy for him to understand that I'm not feeling well or that I'm tired. but we get through it. He's learning to be flexible. He's been through a lot and handled so much of it with way more grace than I have. I can brag on my son for days but I won't. I'll do it in daily increments. lol! I think I want to add more cocktail recipes from my 6 years of bartending and some diabetic food recipes that I'm learning. I also want to add my art and music that I like as well. just make a collage of words and things I love. you can come along if you like?
