I had some corn pudding for supper. I fell asleep, and dad brought home Moby Dick at around 9:30. I had a few bites of it, but it was just too greasy for me. I've been feeling kind of nauseous here the past couple of days so food hasn't been too good to me. I might go have some watermelon later or in the morning because I haven't been getting that many fluids in me.

We just had scotch fillet steaks, with a honeyed bbq sauce, sorbaise potato's and steam vegies.

I just ate some macoroni and cheese (which I had been CRAVING ). It stinks though, my family all sits down and eats dinner at about 6 when my parents get out of work so my brother Adam and I always have to fix up something quick (or if we're lucky they'll leave us some leftovers) when we get home at 9ish.
