Self-care in little steps.

Meet Wally.  Wally is a Wok.  It took me about 10 years to buy Wally.  He cost all of $35.

About 10 years ago we had a new gas stove top put in.  One of the burners is really hot and the sales person said it would be perfect for Wok cooking.  I like to think of myself as a relatively healthy eater, although I know this is very close to being self-delusional.  So, I thought great.  I like stir fries we'll be a Wok and give it a go.

Except we didn't, buy a wok that is.

I don't know exactly why not.  This is a wonderful example thought of putting off things that are good for us without any real reason what so ever.  This includes getting a massage, going back to water aerobics or going to the movies with my husband.

I bought Wally today, 10 years later,  to make a chicken and vegetable stir fry.  I even bought the chicken.  Then I got home and took the sticker off Wally and found some small scratches under the big label.  He is a non-stick wok, and I hate shopping so I decided that was probably OK.  Then I looked at all the steps I had to do to season my wok before first use.

I decided that my husband could make fried rice for tea in the frypan and I would write a new blog post.

Here's to our self-care journeys.  

If you know other people who may struggle a little on their self care journeys, please share this blog and make them feel better :).
