Congratulations, Calli!
Could just be a hoax, though. I fake some headaches, everyone gets used to poor helpless Spike. Then one day, no warning, I snap a spine, bend a head back, drain 'em dry. Brilliant.

After 2 weeks (maybe 3) of almost No Carbs, I caved and had half a plate of pasta. It was DELICIOUS but, man, my tummy is hating me.

Yeah, since mostly giving up pasta, when I have a lot of it? I often pay. Which makes it easy to avoid.

Just occurred to me that the reason I haven't seen my next door neighbor the past couple of weeks is likely the Iceland volcano. She wasn't planning on being gone this much this month, but she had some travel overseas. She's had the worst luck the past few months (she was the one separated from her passport in Africa.)

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
Yay, Calli! Sleep well, and dream of fast airplanes!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Calli! To infinity and beyond!
I can't believe I'm getting grouchy because I have to get out of bed early tomorrow morning. It's not like I'm not awake.
I so need to get over it. But I will try to go to bed earlier, just in case.

Congrats, Calli! That`s a great accomplishment. I`ve always regretted not going after one when I had the chance.
We have always moved ourselves, and been the person with a van who helped our friends move. I`ve flown across country to move friends. I would totally pay someone to not have to do that for myself again.

I am still trying to find two things: a suzuki teacher for violin for Noah and a good rhubarb strawberry jam recipe. I found rhubarb! In SoCal! at the grocery store!

Congrats Calli!
I apologize for eating all of Kat's carbs for the past few weeks. I am stressed and want the semester to be OVER.

Enh, Burrell, better you eating them than me! I am down over 10 lbs at this point and I have about another 10 to go for sure, and ideally another 15-20. My new yoga studio also does aerobics style classes, which might help me get into shape faster. and maybe some pilates.
I miss being thin. I miss it enough to mostly forgo pasta.
