Changing habits

Starting back in the fall, my youngest son, my dog, and I would have a weekly Saturday ritual. We'd stop at McDonald's on the way to CCD (Catholic religious education class), he'd get a sausage McMuffin meal, and I'd get the burrito meal. He'd eat it on the way there. After dropping him off, the dog and I would go to a nearby park so he could walk around and do dog stuff, while I sat at a bench and ate my breakfast before joining him to tromp through the woods for half an hour.

Now, of course, I can't eat that stuff. What am I supposed to do, pack something to bring? Lucky for me, today was the last class -- first communion next month, gotta start cleaning the house now -- so I don't have to worry about that any more. But still, I did think for a minute how much I'm going to have to change many things that I've been doing without thinking.
