A nice Monday

I had a very productive day yesterday. I cleaned up the living room and bedroom, and rewarded myself with a nice hot bath. For the first time in years, I didn't have to worry about overheating. I felt great, relaxed only. Ahhh. I love low-carb living. Ron was thrilled. He "loves what I've done with the place". I even got together a giveaway bag with my old fat clothes to give away. I figure I can walk over to the drop box (about a mile away) and drop them off, get a diet soda, and walk home. It's a good half hour workout.

I had a nice Monday. I had to get up at 5 something, and go to work. I took a big tote bag full of books to give away. I'd made myself a good breakfast, 2 sausage patties (they are fast and I like them). I misplaced the book I was reading but I'll try to find it later. I was able to give my shrimp to the other blind vendor. I hate to throw it out but I won't be eating it again. One migraine is enough for me.

I met the new owner of our sandwich company. He's a nice guy, I like him. You can tell he takes pride in the business. When I got back I was able to help a customer find the perfect breakfast item which always makes my day. Snacks looked pretty good, I just need candy bars soon. I helped Ron a lot.

When we left, Ron told me he'd made a trip to Cracker Barrel. They have over a dozen low-carb items on the menu, makes it really easy to find a tasty meal. I got the meat and eggs, just that. Ron had a good time with his chicken fried steak and eggs. After we paid, we saw the driver waiting outside (that never happens!) so we ran out and went home. Just in time, too. It started pouring.

I brought in the plant babies and was DELIGHTED to see that my New Zealand spinach has finally sprouted! I'd planted four seeds with no germination, it seemed. I knew they liked cold temperatures to germinate so I had them outside. Apparently, it worked, because one sprouted. Yaay!

Barky doesn't bark at me anymore. I sweet-talked the dog in the rain for a few minutes, and threw him his rawhide treat over the fence. Poor thing, out in the rain. He likes me, though. Good.

All the other plants look great. The carrots are being stubborn, they won't be big enough to eat by the time Mom and Dad get here. Bummer. Well, at least we can eat all the other things.

Tonight I need to cook off the carne picada beef I bought. I'm feeling uninspired, though. I don't want the same old, same old. I'll have to figure out a way to add variety without ruining the meat or the carb count. Good luck.

I've lost a total of 10 pounds in just under 2 weeks. YAY!
