I had to google MUFAs! I know the concept, but I didn't know the acronym. Yay DH for joining you on the health wagon. DP is working his way pretty well around to it now, too, with recent blood tests and diagnoses. I am trying to align our eating habits to what will suit him best, because, well, it'll suit me best, too. Crazy how that works. And we're starting an evening walk routine to ease into more physical activity. All to help avoid, you know, an evening ER routine.

Joy of Cooking Four Grain Flapjacks are still my absolute favorite

Different, but for some reason that reminded me of the cornmeal pancakes that IHOP had for a short while. They were so good! I was sad they were only a blip on the radar.

Our wings are not tired.

Now that I am back in Florida I can swim daily again, and need to get my bike tires functional so I can get biking. Summer could have been far more active, but I sat on the couch on my computer, which is good for nothing healthy.

Hey. New board.

Different, but for some reason that reminded me of the cornmeal pancakes

They have cornmeal and its part of what makes them so good! Just that little bit of crunchiness really ups the textural complexity.

whole wheat, all purpose, cornmeal, and oats (okay, so it's really 3 grains). Nice and fluffy from baking powder and baking soda. So good.

Ooh. I may need to look that up, Gris. That sounds yum. We live in the times of GF all-purpose flour, so yay.

(PSA: For some reason, I've had this urge to make clear that I am being "good" and sticking to my mandated GF diet. I do not actually think I need to do that here, so I will stop. It's annoying to ME, so extrapolating from there...)

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Tim had a follow-up lung x-ray today, which showed that the pneumothorax seems to be gone, but there is a little fluid around that lung. Tim's doctor isn't concerned about it and said the fluid will just get re-absorbed. So everything seems okay, although Tim is still going to see the pulmonologist whenever they can fit him in.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Yay! And I'm glad Tim is still seeing the pulmonologist, if another episode like this can be avoided that would be great

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm glad Tim's lungs are looking better, Steph.

I just got back from the Eno Riverwalk—a series of paved and well-groomed trails along a river in a nearby town. It's a lovely day for it, and almost everyone I passed was wearing a mask.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Yay Tim! Phew. Also glad your DP is OK, Jen.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Yay, Tim!

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

Yay Tim!
