Alla y'all with the fancy food that sounds so good! I seem to be skipping dinner - that slice was pretty big and I'm just rolling with the not-that-hungry vibe. Will probably regret it in the morning, but so it goes.

((Cass)) I hope you can get some restful rest and a fence.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Yeah, I think going to bed soon is good.

Finish voting tomorrow.

Had fun beginning the explanation of the "I do not understand this part of myself at all" way where I'm at to the Boy. He basically said to tuck myself into bed and tell him even more tomorrow. Sweet.

And offered to pup sit if I needed to go put my brain in a slightly distant place for a night or two. I cannot even explain how much that meant to me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

The Boy sounds wonderful, Cass.

Perfect, Cass. I hope renewing rest happened.

Dinner last night was piccata snapper over spiraled butternut squash and was super yummy. The only way I can keep DH on a diet is to make sure we eat 3 meals a day at home. No eating out and no snack food is key here. He can polish off large bags of chips or whole pizzas if he gets hungry. Trying to break the don't eat all day long and make up for it and then some late at night. One week in and I am down 6 lbs and him double that. (He drops absurdly fast, probably because of his overall size) Oatmeal for breakfast, salads for lunch, tasty dinner. No take out or junk. Fortunately I like to cook! And I don't care if he doesn't get to the dishes immediately. (except oatmeal bowls because that shit turns to concrete if left a few minutes)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

One week in and I am down 6 lbs and him double that.

Wow!

First weeks are often dramatic. But I am encouraged because we are eating three very nice meals a day without caring about calorie count. No junk and high fiber/protein/MUFA, but not starving ourselves at all. I'm still drinking my wine, because really have you seen this world we live in?

If I drank I'd have already started by now this morning!

In Arkansas only about 31% of registered voters have already voted at last count, but that's a percent shy of double the amount in 2016. Alas, it's holding to our average of about 60% Republican. Trump and Cotton are unassailable here, though I'll feel some consolation if there are significant numbers of Republicans who vote against the former in protest.

In my county 48% of registered voters have voted. I know they are messing with people here and there, like Miami holding off till last moment sending ballots out. (I should stop looking at this stuff!)

My ballot has been accepted. That really is comforting

I checked my status on the county website - "Voter Status: You voted at an Early Voting Location."

Yes I did.
