Not sure about you but I am glad it’s November. Were closer to Thanksgiving! That a holiday I can get behind – eating something I love to do already. I’ve not heard from my Turkey Friends (aka Thanksgiving Friends) and I haven’t made any reservations. For the past couple years when it comes to this time of year I am ready to tell them to fly away. If they invite me I will probably go over just because but it’s tempting to stay home. I get tired of hearing the same old stories and seeing their clergy and the dog they bring along. I liked it much more when it was just us and there was only a neighbor or two that stopped by. Now they are trying to impress their pastor, his wife and their kids and it’s just gotten out of control. This started as our tradition but has quickly become something else and I am just not happy about it. I can’t really say much since it’s a free meal and typically it comes from a favorite restaurant, so it’s not like anything is going to be bad. This year I am hell bent on just staying silent unless I am called upon, something I haven’t done in years past. If it all comes together, great and if not well then aw shucks.
I look forward to the grocery store putting out single holiday meals, that is usually good enough for me but their dressing isn’t anything that I truly enjoy.
Another cold night and the neighborhood was mostly dark again but everyone was at the parade so no worries about kids roaming around. The cats and I just sat around and watched TV, hoping that the phone didn’t chirp and it was mostly quiet. There were a couple of emails but nothing that needed immediate attention, which I was thankful for.
I’m still having some issues with my external drive that houses my porn archive. I downloaded a utility to repair it but that caused my desktop to hang. I wound up installing it on my laptop and it’s running there with no issues. Very strange but there is more security on my desktop since it’s my primary machine.
Had some Chicken Noodle Soup and two Peanut Butter and Jelly sandwiches for supper last night. Not bad but it left me wanting more. I resisted but I kept hearing a Churro Ice Cream bar calling my name. I plan to have that tonight and it will probably be just as good as it would have been last night. I see the scale starting to tip in the wrong direction and that’s not what I want. I don’t feel lighter at all but 16 pounds is a good start for doing nothing other than not taking a drug that promoted weight gain. My fear is that my sugar will be out of control and my doc will have me start to start back up on that drug but in a small amount. It did a great job at controlling my sugar but since being off it, I have only had 1 time where I felt my sugar drop and the need to eat food. I see the doc the week after Thanksgiving so who knows what the scale will say then.
I saw a joke the other day that said the human body is 80% water, if that’s true then I am not fat, I am flooded. I’m telling that one to the doctor just to see his reaction.
It’s lunch time so off I go to eat some PB&J and be with the furry kids. Here’s hoping that the rest of the week will be largely uneventful for me, not looking for any drama or problems. Stay warm and be well.
