I walked a 5K this morning and have invited people over to hang out, also have the people who we have been dog sitting for (just a one night thing). My house has been McFee free for 4 days (she's had a stomach yuck), so I need to do at least some cleaning. My brain however is scattered, so.. list time.
litter
guest bath
spot carpet where cats puked
trash out
vacuum
sounds like a good quick clean, yes?
I already have a load of laundry in, because none has been done and I did manage to get the dishwasher run this week and have mac empty it.
The good news is that the paint comes off my metal porch railing really well. Except where it doesn't. Bad news is where it doesn't and I won't get to priming the bases of the remaining 19 indoor spindles today.
I'm crazy. Need to buy more stripper tomorrow.
Jesse, yes, all kinds of patio furnishings, plus all the lawn ornaments you'll ever need.
Plus Utz cheese popcorn, the best snack of all! Maybe I can get my mother to take me next weekend. After we go to Jordan's Furniture.
Because we (a) don't want to be that weirdo old person perving on young folks who are like 'ew', but we also feel like most people our age on the dating sites look WAY older. And (b) we don't know how high to make the age, because, people look old, but then we know some people who are totally cool and sexy, who are much older.
Yeah, I'm not going to lie, I do occasionally think someone "in their 40s" would be too old for me. I AM IN MY FORTIES!!
Steph, my low-glycemic diet is supposed to be step one of anti-inflammatory.
Interesting. I didn't know low-glycemic could have that effect. Honestly, I think any dietary change is going to be his last choice. He's kind of stubborn about what he eats (in addition to being a vegetarian who doesn't eat many veggies [hence my 2014 quest to get more veggies in our meals -- I just got him to drink a green smoothie today]).
Looks like the wedding across the street is a motorcycle club event. This should be interesting. Although it is looking like the actual ceremony will be in the backyard where I can't see it through my picture window, alas.

It's had a marked effect on the inflammation of my hands and ankles, but that might well have been edema. I am arthritic too, which is why I get the "procedures." It's not manageable with medication or diet.
I am buying milk with added omega 3, but that's just be being boondoggled, I'm sure.
Note that I don't know what boondoggled means, but Chrome likes it.

There are some small things, like swapping sweeteners that might help and be low impact--I've now found a white low-gly sugar (cane juice instead of molasses) for times where the complex smoky tastes of the coconut sugar is overwhelming. And of course, agave, but after having read it's natures HFCS, I feel leery of depending on it as much as I did.
I'm not saying switch it out without telling him--even I'm not that bad at relationships, but maybe it's low hanging fruit.

I could do that in the stuff I bake, no problem. And I'm sure it would be good for me, too (inflammation apparently being a huge culprit in heart disease, thank you Dad).

I don't know which gluten free flours you use, but I've been finding a combination of oat and spelt flour works well for basic recipes, and is a nice and low gly combo too. Keep your chocolate to dark, and that's most of the low-gly baking considerations right there.
