You can come over. I won't talk to you. I'll give you somewhere to sit, cushions, blankets, simple food and drink, Wi Fi and access to my video library (networked and disks). Oh, and the bathroom.

That sounds amazing.

But I am sorry about the weight loss. Yes, a lot of people would like to lose weight. But no one wants to feel out of control in their own body. It's apples and pumpkin pie. Not even just different fruits, totally different things.

but it's because I got caught up in Death of Comet drama

Totally a valid choice. I was pulling for that comet. Because I have mass. And thus a gravitational pull. Also I wanted to see it.

It sounds like my Mom's conversation with me was her way of expressing her anger that nobody told HER until after the fact.

It's amazing that you can take what happened and understand the internal motivations. I think you are probably very right. I hope your nephew finds some solid footing soon.

And now it is punny tg riddles/ jokes. Punch line: gobble goober.

Pulled the turkey a little early, so back it goes. Soup is warming. Gravy is keeping warmnon the woodstove. Tested the brown butter salted caramel snickerdoodles in the meanwhile and holy cow!

OMG you guys. I have eaten SO MUCH STUFFING. I'm not honestly sure what the point of the other food on the table was because the stuffing was so good. (Ok, the point of the turkey was to baste the stuffing. Everything else was pretty extraneous. Except the wine. Wine and stuffing. Mmmmmmmmmm.)

Thanks for the good wishes guys. It means a lot knowing you're out there!

Tested the brown butter salted caramel snickerdoodles in the meanwhile and holy cow!

Oh. my. lord. I'm nearly fainting with desire right now. ::flail::

I didn't get any stuffing, but I have 3/4s of the apple pie left, which is fine by me....

Hey is there anyone who can skype with me for a minute or two so I can test this new headset? I've done a test call, but I want to interact before the big interview. I'm sue_oz on Skype.

I took home some leftover key lime pie and mashed potatoes and turkey. Lunch tomorrow!

And I'm home, cats and dog are fed, I'm still stuffed from the big meal with my folks. But severely lacking in leftovers, which is not bad, necessarily, just peculiar.

Sorry about the unexpected and unwanted weight loss, ita. That's distressing, even if the low-gly accounts for it.

What happened with the comet? I had an alert come to my phone but I didn't manage to figure out what it was alerting me to...

I skipped the ritual sacrifice AND the pie today. I did however make a tasty (and very filling) butternut squash soup and had some cake. And I can report that the Angry Orchard Cinnful Apple hard cider is quite good.

I did not intend to lose an ounce of that weight (two dress sizes). I'm not sure precisely what caused the weight loss, in the sense that I don't know when it intends to stop (clearly low gly is the trigger). Yay shopping in my closet, but I'm honestly uncomfortable with the whole thing. I'm hoping it stops here, but how can I tell?

When I realized dairy wasn't doing me any favors and cut way back I unexpectedly started dropping weight. It gradually leveled off in slightly less than a year. I'm still working on building a wardrobe that fits though.

Have you noticed your energy levels change? I think I would only be concerned if your energy level dropped.
